Despite the league stage of the IPL entering the business end, there are not many teams that can claim to be in the Playoffs, nor any side out of contention mathematically. In such a scenario, it is imperative for teams to strive and win most of the remaining games to have a chance at grabbing a berth in the Playoffs. 

Thus, on Sunday night at the Ekana Stadium here, it’s going to be a crucial clash between two sides that have defeated Mumbai Indians in their previous games. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) had beaten MI here on Tuesday, while Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are coming straight from Mumbai after thumping their rivals on Friday night.
