SRH vs GT match called off due to rain, SRH qualifies for playoffs; RCB to face CSK for fourth spot

HYDERABAD: Sunrisers Hyderabad have become the third team to qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs after rain washed out their clash against Gujarat Titans at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday.

As the match was called off without a ball being bowled, both SRH and GT now share a point each. With SRH’s tally now at 15 points, it means they have now qualified for the playoffs. They now need to beat Punjab Kings on Sunday and hope for Rajasthan Royals to lose to Kolkata Knight Riders to finish at the second spot.

SRH getting into playoffs means Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants will get knocked out of the race to playoffs. It also means the last playoff spot will be decided by the all-important clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday.
