IPL 2024 LSG Qualification Scenario, How Lucknow Super Giants still qualify for IPL 2024 Playoffs After Losing against KKR? Lucknow Super Giants had quite a decent performance so far in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 as they have played a total of 11 matches and out of which, they won only six games therefore LSG are in fifth position in the IPL 2024 Points Table with 12 points. However, LSG still has a chance to get into the Top 4 but they need to win all upcoming three matches.  

Lucknow Super Giants lost their last match against Kolkata Knight Riders at Ekana Cricket Stadium by a massive 98 runs. LSG need to think of net run rate (NRR) as well because in the end, when the teams have the same points then NRR plays a crucial role and leads the team to get a spot in the Playoffs.

KL Rahul is leading Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the TATA IPL 2024 and the team has done quite well under Rahul’s guidance. But despite having a good start in the tournament, LSG is struggling to get a ticket for the IPL 2024 Playoffs as they lost the winning momentum in the past few games.

The Key players like KL Rahul, Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya, Nicholas Pooran and Mohsin Khan need to play their best cricket in the last three league stage matches of LSG. If LSG plays collective cricket as they did in the starting few games then they might get into the top 4 of the IPL 2024 Points Table.

Top 2 Changes Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) Should do:

LSG is missing Quinton de Kock a lot as we saw in the past few games, Lucknow didn’t had a good start, which helped opponents to dominate the game since the starting of the match. If Quinton de Kock is fit, then he should be in the playing XI and it is expected that he is likely to play the upcoming match against SRH.

The second change LSG should make is the addition of Arshad Khan to the Playing XI, this youngster played for Mumbai Indians (MI) in the last edition and did quite well but didn’t get opportunities to showcase his skills. In the last few matches, LSG bowlers failed to get early wickets in the powerplay therefore they need a good Indian Pacer in the Playing XI.

LSG Qualification Scenario, How Mathematically can LSG qualify for the IPL 2024 Playoffs?

As of now, LSG have three matches remaining in the tournament and they have 12 points therefore they need to win all three games to easily get a ticket for the IPL 2024 Playoffs with 18 points. But, SRH and CSK are too in the race and they have the same points as LSG whereas SRH has four matches that’s why LSG needs to win all three matches with a good margin to improve their NRR.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) Strongest Probable Playing XI:

KL Rahul (C/WK), Quinton de Kock, Marcus Stoinis, Deepak Hooda, Nicholas Pooran, Ashton Turner, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Yash Thakur, Ravi Bishnoi, Naveen-ul-Haq.

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) Squad IPL 2024:

KL Rahul (Captain), Quinton de Kock, Kyle Mayers, Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Deepak Hooda, Devdutt Padikkal, Ravi Bishnoi, Naveen-ul-Haq, Krunal Pandya, Yudhvir Singh, Ashton Turner, Matt Henry, Prerak Mankad, Yash Thakur, Amit Mishra, Shamar Joseph, Mayank Yadav, Mohsin Khan, K. Gowtham, Arshin Kulkarni, M. Siddharth, Mohd. Arshad Khan.
