SRH Innings: 156/9 in 20 Overs
SRH’s top order was destroyed inside the powerplay. Mohammed Shami removed Abhishek Sharma (0 off 2) in the very first over, caught by Siddharth. One over later, Travis Head fell for 7, caught by Markram off Shami again.
Prince Yadav then bowled Ishan Kishan for 1. SRH were 11/3 after 3.3 overs. The powerplay score read a dismal 22/3 in 6 overs.
Liam Livingstone tried to rebuild but managed just 14 off 20 before Digvesh Rathi had him caught. At 26/4 in 7.1 overs, SRH were staring at a sub-100 total.
Enter Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy. The pair produced the rescue act of the match.
Their fifth-wicket stand crossed 50 in 36 balls and 100 in 56 balls. Klaasen brought up his fifty off 33 deliveries (4 fours, 2 sixes), and NKR reached his off 30 balls (3 fours, 4 sixes). Together, they added a stunning 116 runs for the fifth wicket, pulling SRH from 26/4 to 142/5.
Klaasen finished with 62 off 41 (5 fours, 2 sixes) and NKR made 56 off 33 (3 fours, 5 sixes). SRH reached 100 in 14.3 overs and 150 in 19.2 overs.
Once both fell in the 18th over (142/5 became 144/7 in two balls), the tail could only add 12 more. But 156/9 was far more competitive than it had any right to be at 26/4.

LSG Chase: 160/5 in 19.5 Overs
Unlike SRH, LSG’s openers made the most of the powerplay. Aiden Markram was the aggressor, smashing 45 off 27 (6 fours, 2 sixes) at a strike rate of 166.66.
Mitchell Marsh played second fiddle with 14 off 12 before Eshan Malinga had him caught by NKR at 37/1 in the 5th over. LSG posted a healthy 53/1 in the powerplay and hit 50 in just 5.6 overs (36 balls).
Markram fell at 77/2 in the 10th over, caught by Livingstone off Shivang Kumar. That brought captain Rishabh Pant together with the middle order.
Ayush Badoni, the impact sub who replaced Shami, made a quick 12 off 9 before getting stumped by Kishan off Harsh Dubey. Then Nicholas Pooran was run out for 1, and suddenly LSG were 105/4 in 13.1 overs.
Abdul Samad provided useful support with 16 off 12 (2 fours), but Dubey had him caught at 139/5 in the 18th over. That left Pant needing to finish the job himself.
Pant brought up his fifty off 43 balls (6 fours) and kept nudging singles when boundaries dried up. Mukul Choudhary (2* off 5) held his nerve at the other end.
LSG reached 150 in 19.1 overs (115 balls) and finally got over the line at 160/5 in 19.5 overs, with just 1 ball to spare. Pant finished unbeaten on 68 off 50 (9 fours) to seal a tense victory.

Key Highlights: SRH vs LSG IPL 2026 Match 10
- Mohammed Shami’s spell was sensational: 2/9 in 4 overs at an economy of 2.25. He bowled 18 dot balls out of 24. That is the kind of spell that defines a tournament. Named POTM and MVP (104.16 points).
- Klaasen-NKR rescue act saved SRH’s innings: From 26/4, the pair added 116 runs for the fifth wicket. Klaasen made 62 (SR: 151.21) and NKR hit 56 (SR: 169.69). Without their partnership, SRH would not have crossed 100.
- Pant proved his big-match temperament: 68* off 50 in a pressure chase, finishing the game with 1 ball to spare. He hit 9 fours but zero sixes, placing the ball into gaps with precision rather than brute force. Vintage Pant.
- LSG wobbled in the middle overs: From 77/1, LSG lost 4 wickets for 62 runs (105/4 to 139/5). Harsh Dubey (2/18 at 4.50 economy) created the pressure, and the chase got far tighter than it needed to be.
- SRH’s powerplay was a disaster: 22/3 in the first 6 overs. Head, Abhishek, and Kishan managed just 8 runs between them. Shami (2/9) and Prince Yadav (1 wicket in powerplay) were outstanding.
- Impact subs: LSG replaced Shami with Ayush Badoni at 11.6 overs of the SRH innings. Badoni made 12 off 9 in the chase. SRH’s impact player was Eshan Malinga, who took 1/30 in 4 overs.
- This was a Day/Night match: The only D/N fixture in the first 10 matches. Conditions may have helped Shami with the new ball under lights, which partly explains SRH’s top-order collapse.
Verdict: LSG Beat SRH in Last Over Thriller Game
A game of two halves for both teams. SRH were rescued from 26/4 by Klaasen and NKR, only for their bowlers to let 156 slip. LSG cruised early thanks to Markram, wobbled through the middle overs, and then relied on Pant’s composure to finish the job. Shami’s spell was the standout individual performance, and Pant’s chase was a reminder of why LSG invested so heavily in him.
