Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are in a must-win zone following the Sunday results, with three teams already confirming their playoffs spot in the ongoing IPL season.
The Super Giants have fallen off the cliff, having won just one game out of their last five after starting the tournament with four wins in the first six matches. LSG's form has coincided with the form of their overseas hard-hitters, which has nosedived in the last few games and would need the likes of Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran to find some runs back to get their batting going yet again.
LSG will be eliminated if they lose on Monday and with no Travis Head for the Sunrisers Hyderabad, the hosts will be even more motivated and hence, fancy their chances to get a positive result.
It has been a while since Lucknow earned a couple of points and with destiny still in their own hands, LSG have games to push for that final spot.On the other hand, it has been a disappointing season for the Sunrisers as their batters haven't been in form and the bowlers haven't been as consistent as they would have wanted. SRH have added a couple of players late into their squad with no Travis Head, they might try their bench out for in the last few games.
