IPL 2026 playoff scenarios: LSG's hopes all but gone after six straight losses
Despite a blistering 63 off 21 balls from Nicholas Pooran and a strong partnership, Lucknow Super Giants suffered their sixth consecutive defeat. Their inability to close out games, even after posting a massive 228, has left them virtually out of the IPL 2026 playoff race. With five must-win games remaining, a miraculous recovery is needed. LSG needs a perfect run and other results to go their way to have a miraculous recovery this IPL 2026 season.
