Both matches like knockout for LSG
LSG can reach maximum 16 points by winning both its remaining matches. KL Rahul’s team would be looking towards 16 points at this time.

However, after this it will have to depend on the results of other teams also. LSG now has to play against its two more rivals Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians. If LSG loses even one of the remaining two matches, it will be away from the playoff ticket.

There are three teams which can cross the mark of 16 also. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see how LSG performs away from home in its remaining matches.
