The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Rajiv Gandhi International stadium in Hyderabad was washed out due to relentless rain on Thursday.

This meant SRH’s points tally rose to 15, enough for it to seal a spot in the playoffs.

SRH has one game remaining, against Punjab Kings at home on Sunday, and a win will ensure its top-two finish, provided Rajasthan Royals loses its game against Kolkata Knight Riders.

SRH is the third team to qualify for the playoffs, behind Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals, and still has a chance to feature in Qualifier 1, on May 21.

With that, only one spot remains in the playoffs race, and Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru will fight for it in an all-important clash on Saturday.
