IPL 2025 is going to start again from May 17. The IPL 2025 tournament had to be stopped midway due to India-Pakistan tension, but now it will be played again. There are still 13 league matches to be played in this tournament and then the playoffs will start. It is now very important for the Lucknow Super Giants under the captaincy of Rishabh Pant to win all their remaining league matches.
Let us tell you that Lucknow Super Giants have won 5 out of 11 matches so far, while they have lost 6 matches. The team has 10 points and is at the seventh position in the points table of IPL 2025.
Lucknow Super Giants now have to play their next match against Sunrisers Hyderabad on 19 May. After this, the team will play a match against Gujarat Titans on 22 May, while Lucknow Super Giants will play their last league match against RCB on 27 May. Lucknow Super Giants have lost four out of the last five matches. In the last match, the team lost the match by 37 runs against Punjab Kings in Dharamsala.
Qualification Scenario of LSG
Scenario 1
The best scenario is that Lucknow Super Giants win all three of their remaining matches and finish with 16 points, but there are many other teams which can have points equal to Lucknow.
The Lucknow team will pray that Mumbai Indians lose both their remaining matches, especially against Delhi Capitals. If Rishabh Pant and company want to secure a place in the playoffs, then they will have to pray that Delhi Capitals lose two of their remaining three matches.
Not only this, Punjab Kings will also have to lose one match if Lucknow team has to score more points than them. If this happens then LSG can qualify for the playoffs and their net run rate can also be much better.
Scenario 2
If the Lucknow team loses even one of its remaining three league matches, it will be out of the playoff race. If the team loses even one match, their total points will be 14 and their dream of qualifying will be completely shattered. Therefore, the team will have to win all the three remaining matches.
