Lucknow Super Giants pull off thriller to seal IPL 2022 playoff spot

Mumbai, May 18: Table-topper Gujarat Titans were the only team to have sealed the playoff spot, but on Wednesday (May 18), Lucknow Super Giants joined them after a 2-run victory over Kolkata Knight Riders at the Dr DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.

While the result ensured LSG's path to the next stages, it also meant KKR were eliminated with 12 points from 14 matches. Now, it will be up to the remaining three teams fighting for two spots in the playoff race.

Rajasthan Royals is a win away from sealing second or third spot, while Delhi Capitals, currently in fourth with a better Net Run Rate (NRR) compared to the chasing pack, is also well-placed to finish the season in the top four.
