Lucknow Super Giants

With the playoff race reaching a tense stage, both teams have plenty at stake heading into this contest.

LSG will have the chance to avoid the wooden spoon finish if they beat PBKS by a big margin in Lucknow

Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) still hold the top spot with 18 points from 14 matches

For the first time in IPL history, the playoffs will be played on three different venues

If PBKS lose to LSG, they will be eliminated from the playoffs race despite starting their season with a seven-game unbeaten run

With RCB, SRH and GT already through to the playoffs, just one spot remains open in the top four

The win has also pushed RR ahead in the race to the playoffs as they now just need to win their last game against Mumbai Indians (MI) on May 24 to finish in the top four

RR are currently sixth on the table and can return to the top four with a win over LSG in their crucial IPL 2026 clash in Jaipur on Tuesday
