The IPL 2024 has entered it's business end and most teams have only three to four games left in the competition. Despite of that a team is yet to confirm qualification and none of them has been knocked out of the playoff race. KKR and RR are at the top two position, closest to the playoffs, followed by SRH, CSK and LSG who are still fighting out for the next two spots. DC is making a resurgent run after a poor start and is still in the mix. GT, RCB, PBKS and MI are the four teams who are in the bottom four and will need a miracle to change fortunes. A lot of the fate of the IPL 2024 points table will depend on the SRH vs LSG match.Ā Ā What Happens if SRH vs LSG IPL 2024 Match Is Washed Out? Know About All Possible Scenarios That Can Take Place.

What Impact Will Result of SRH vs LSG Have on IPL 2024 Playoff Scenarios?

Sunrisers Hyderabad will host Lucknow Super Giants at their home at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. They have won six games till now and suffered five losses. Lucknow Super Giants have also won and lost same number of games but their loss in the last game against KKR has pushed them down the table with a poor net run rate. If SRH wins the game, they will take a big step towards playoff qualification. Not only this win will push them forward in the competition, it will also eliminate a possible playoff contender in LSG as they will be able to reach a maximum of 16 points and will have to carry the poor net run rate.

If LSG wins, then they will return to level playing fields. They will remain in the mix of four teams who can reach the 18-point mark and that will compensate for their very poor net run rate. Although, the SRH vs LSG game will have it's impact beyond the two teams. If SRH wins, MI will be the first team to get knocked out of the playoff race. They can reach a maximum of 12 points and if SRH move to 14 point with their win over LSG, they will be knocked out as LSG is yet to play DC who are both at 12-point mark. One of them will definitely reach beyond 12 in that game.Ā Happy Birthday Pat Cummins! Sunrisers Hyderabad Extends Heartfelt Wishes to Their Captain As He Turns 31.

PBKS, RCB and GT have lost 7 games each and yet have the opportunity to make it to the 14 points mark and wait for other results to go in their favour. But if SRH win against LSG, the PBKS vs RCB game at Mullanpur becomes a knockout as the loser will be eliminated from the playoff race, as that team will make it to 12-point mark as the maximum. Gujarat Titans are also in a similar situation but with fixtures in their favour, despite of SRH winning, they will have remain alive with the condition of winning all their next games. If LSG win, all the remaining teams will remain afloat for a few more days.
