It was a brilliant game of cricket at Lucknow on Tuesday. Both Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants fought hard but in the end, it was the host team that won the game.

Mumbai Indians playoffs qualification scenario in IPL 2023 after losing to LSG

Although MI has lost this game and has a poor NRR, they can still manage to reach the playoffs of IPL 2023. Their main opponents would be RCB and PBKS. They would want RCB and PBKS to lose at least one of their next two games so that they cannot reach 16 points. At the same time, MI has one game remaining and they must win it to reach 16 points and confirm their spot in the final four. It looks to be a difficult ask but it is very much possible.

RCB will be under pressure, as well, in their next games. They clearly have their fate in their grasp and must play good cricket inorder to get into the Top 4.

LSG has one foot in the playoffs

After KL Rahul was ruled out of IPL 2023, many felt LSG would find it hard to do well. However, the team, led by Krunal Pandya, has been in good form. Some of the youngsters such as Prerak Mankad and Mohsin Khan have stepped up, which has helped the squad in many ways. Seniors such as Marcus Stoinis are also doing well for the outfit.

With 15 points and a good NRR in the bank and one game to go, LSG is in a good space right now. Their final game will be against KKR and LSG will have their fate in their own hands. Therefore, they are all set to enter the playoffs of IPL 2023.
