With rain making its presence felt in Hyderabad, the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Gujarat Titans (GT) was called off without a ball being bowled at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday. SRH and GT shared a point each after rain and drizzle forced the umpires to call the second abandoned game of IPL 2024. The 2016 champions have now joined Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders in the last four of IPL 2024.

After securing a spot in the last four, Pat Cummins and his team will aim for the second spot, boasting a healthy net run rate of 0.406. Currently holding 15 points from 13 matches, the Sunrisers could potentially reach a maximum of 17 points, which might be enough for a top-two finish depending on other match results.
Having enjoyed a week off, the Sunrisers were well-rested and in high spirits after achieving a record-breaking win against Lucknow Super Giants on May 8. The bowlers’ impressive performance restricted LSG to a below-par score, while the opening duo of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma chased down 166 in just 9.4 overs, securing a dominant 10-wicket victory at home.

Throughout the season, the Sunrisers have demonstrated a pattern of securing remarkable victories but have also experienced significant defeats, including a loss to GT by 7 wickets earlier in the competition. Shubman Gill-led GT arrived in Hyderabad to play for pride. Whatever mathematical chances they had of making it to the playoffs after their big win against CSK were dashed with the rain washout against KKR.
