This is how Lucknow Super Giants can get to number 2 in the points table and also qualify for the IPL 2023 playoffs
IPL 2023: With just three matches left in the league stage, the fight to make the playoffs in IPL 2023 is heating up. After Gujarat Titans qualified earlier, Chennai Super Kings followed suit by beating Delhi Capitals by 77 runs and joining their ranks. CSK improved to 17 points (8 wins, 1 tie) and a net run rate of +0.652 after the victory, maintaining their position as the second-best team in the league.
The second game of the day is a matchup between the Lucknow Super Giants and the Kolkata Knight Riders, both of whom have chances of making the playoffs. The Krunal Pandya-led squad sits third in the IPL standings with 15 points, seven wins, and a draw from 13 matches (with a net run rate of +0.304).

If LSG beat KKR, they automatically qualify. They will need either Mumbai or Royal Challengers Bangalore to lose their games tomorrow if they lose this one. They have a good shot of placing in the top two, which would give them the opportunity to get a second chance at making it to the finals. If LSG beats KKR by 97 runs, they’ll move up to second place in the points standings, passing CSK in the process.
Following consecutive victories against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians, LSG enters the contest riding a two-match winning run. LSG’s success this season may be attributed in part to the contributions of its three international batsmen: Marcus Stoinis, Kyle Mayers, and Nicholas Pooran.
Stoinis has scored 368 runs for Lucknow, which places him in first place. He has a batting average of 33.45 and a strike rate of 151.44. Ravi Bishnoi has taken 14 wickets for LSG while Mark Wood has taken 11. Bishnoi has done so in 12 innings while averaging 24.14, while Wood has taken 11 wickets in his own 12 innings.
