The Lucknow Super Giants are still in the IPL 2024 playoff race as they can secure their spot in the Top 4 with wins in the remaining two matches. They face Delhi Capitals on Tuesday.
LSG will have to win the remaining two matches and that will take them to 16 points.
If Chennai Super Kings beat Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Sunrisers Hyderabad win one of the remaining two matches, all three sides could finish with 16 points and LSG could not qualify due to their lower net run rate (NRR).
If SRH wins both matches and CSK loses to RCB, LSG will move into fourth position.
If SRH loses both matches, LSG can go ahead by winning the remaining matches irrespective of what happens in the clash between CSK and RCB.
LSG assistant coach Lance Klusener previously spoke out about the entire controversy.
“I have no problem with a robust discussion between two cricket lovers. So for us, I think it’s just a storm in a teacup. big thing for us,” said the South African during the pre-match press conference.
