With 16 points from 12 matches (eight wins and four matches), KL Rahul's men are in a prime position to make the last four. But it will not be easy an task as they faced third-placed Rajasthan Royals and a resurgent Kolkata Knight Riders in their remaining league matches. But Lucknow Super Giants sure have the team to survive the tests.

LSG Likely Playing XIs: Quinton de Kock (wk), KL Rahul (c), Deepak Hooda, Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya, Ayush Badoni, Jason Holder, Dushmantha Chameera, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Mohsin Khan.
After a very strong start to the IPL 2022 season, Sanju Samson's side faltered when it mattered, losing three of their last five matches. Despite having 14 points from 12 matches, the Royals find themselves in a spot.
