How Sunrisers Hyderabad qualified for playoffs after rain washes away match vs Gujarat Titans

With the Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans IPL match getting washed out on Thursday, both teams split a point each which also resulted in Hyderabad qualifying for the play-offs but does not guarantee them a top 2 finish.

Before the SRH vs GT IPL match, Hyderabad were fourth in the IPL 2024 standings with 14 points from 12 IPL matches. After the washout, Hyderabad now have 15 points from 13 IPL matches while Gujarat Titans end their IPL 2024 campaign with 12 points.

This puts SRH in third spot at least temporarily, but CSK could overhaul them with a win over RCB on Saturday. It must be noted there are chances of the RCB vs CSK game also being washed out.

Top 2 will depend on the result between RR vs KKR in Guwahati even if SRH beats PBKS on Sunday in the Uppal.

Earlier, it started raining in the city of Hyderabad just hours before the match was to start. The covers at the stadium in Uppal had come off briefly around 7:15 pm IST, but with the toss delayed and rains looming large over the ground, the covers came back on at 7:55pm, according to a reporter from The Indian Express at the stadium for the IPL match.

While the rains seemed to ease up in some parts of the city of Hyderabad, a tweet from the official Twitter account of the Director Of Enforcement, Vigilance and Disaster Management of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation said: “Heavy rainfall is expected today in Hyderabad city. Till 6pm there is a break in rainfall today and may resume after 6pm. Citizens may plan their travel accordingly.”
