LSG will be aiming to grab the two points today as they play their last fixture at home this season. Also, they are in dire need of two poiints because of the fact that Chennai Super Kings have own their fixture against Punjab Kings today and are now above LSG on the basis of Net Run Rate (NRR). The KL Rahul-led side do have a match in hand but if they lose to KKR tonight, their spot in the Top 4 will come under heavy risk, as Sunrisers Hyderabad are in contention too.
