The equation is this. 

Lucknow Super Giants are already eliminated. For Punjab Kings a win alone against LSG will not be enough. In order for PBKS to qualify for the Playoffs, Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders will need to lose their matches tomorrow.

Should Shreyas Iyer and co lose for the seventh time in a row tonight, PBKS will be eliminated and the battle for the last Playoffs spot will become a three way battle between RR, KKR, and DC heading into the final day of the league stage.
