LSG's chances of progressing to the playoffs are hanging by a thread. With just one spot remaining, the Lucknow-based outfit cannot afford another slipup. They are in a do-or-die situation and only have themselves to blame for.
The Rishabh Pant-led side started its campaign in a fine fashion. They won 4 of their first 6 games and looked set to qualify for the playoffs with ease. However, three defeats in a row and just one win from their last five games have put them on the verge of elimination.
As far as SRH are concerned, they are already out of the playoffs race. With only pride to play for, the last season's runners-up will be eyeing a win. They have already lost against LSG once this season and will be keen to avenge that loss.
