LSG Playoff Scenario: Lucknow Super Giants made a good start to the Indian Premier League 2023 but have recently lost momentum, collecting just three points from their last five games, and must now win all of their remaining games to finish in the top four. LSG currently sit fifth in the IPL 2023 Points Table with 11 points from the same number of games and will be looking for a win to progress up the ladder.

However, one loss will put them in perilous situation, as up to five teams may finish with 16 or more points. To accomplish so, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab Kings must win all of their remaining matches; if LSG do not maximise the points from their remaining games, they will have to hope that other teams falter.
LSG still have three games in hand and can reach 17 points if they win their final three games. Surprisingly, LSG may make it to the top four with just 13 points, but in order for that to happen, the Gujarat Titans, Chennai Super Kings, and Mumbai Indians must win the majority of their games, leaving the other teams with 12 or less points.
Lucknow Super Giants Remaining Fixtures:
- May 13: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants at 3:30 PM
- May 16: Lucknow Super Giants vs Mumbai Indians at 7:30 PM
- May 20: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Lucknow Super Giants at 7:30 PM
