One particular scenario has caught the attention of fans and pundits alike, as the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) could potentially face the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Eliminator if a series of results align favorably for both teams.
For this intriguing scenario to unfold, a specific sequence of outcomes must occur in the upcoming matches. Firstly, RCB needs to emerge victorious in their encounters against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Gujarat Titans (GT), two formidable opponents in their own right. These matches will test RCB’s mettle and determination as they aim to secure crucial victories to bolster their chances of making it to the playoffs.
In a parallel development, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) must prevail over the Delhi Capitals (DC) in their upcoming clash.

Moreover, in an intriguing twist, the Sunrisers Hyderabad must defy the odds and triumph over the mighty Mumbai Indians (MI). The SRH side, having endured a challenging campaign, will be determined to make a statement and disrupt the calculations of other teams.
