<p>In-order to stay in the contention for a top-four finish and secure a playoff spot, they must win at least three of their remaining four league matches. Three victories would bring them to 16 points, potentially enough to guarantee a place in the playoffs.&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000000;">LSG&rsquo;s IPL 2025 Journey</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">With 5 wins &amp; 5 losses in their 10 league matches so far, LSG’s campaign has been a mix of highs and lows.</span></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000000;">LSG’s Qualification Scenario</span></h3>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">In IPL, 16 points is typically the threshold for securing a playoff spot and LSG will be aiming for that. The Lucknow-based franchise can take inspiration from Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), who made it through to the last four with 14 points last year.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">If Lucknow Super Giants secure victory in all of their four remaining matches, they would finish with 18 points, which will further significantlly boost their chances of claiming the top-two spot.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">The first qualifier of IPL 2025 will be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.</span></p>
