Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) made it to the IPL play-offs for the second time in a row this season after they beat Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by one run in their final league game.
LSG were tied on points (17) with CSK, but due to a lower net run rate (NRR), they finished on fourth, below the Chennai-based side.
They will now face Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator on May 24 in Chennai and if they manage to win that, they will face the loser between GT and CSK in the Qualifier 2 on May 26 in Ahmedabad.
