SRH vs GT, IPL 2024 Highlights: Match Abandoned Due to Rain as SRH Secure Qualification for Playoffs

The one point that the home side take away today is enough for SRH, who go up to 15 points and secure qualification for the playoffs!

It is now down to the battle between RCB and CSK for the last remaining spot in the playoffs!

The official verdict is out! The match is abandoned, and both teams will share one point each.

If tonight’s match is abandoned, then that would mean that SRH would directly qualify for the playoffs, leaving CSK and RCB to battle it out for the last spot.

The rain continues to pester the Hyderabad crowd, who continue to be entertained by a light show as they wait impatiently for the conditions to better and for the encounter to start off!

The downpour has only gotten more intense and it seems as if the match is in jeopardy of being abandoned, as we have already started to lose overs.

There seems to be another drizzle pouring down from the Hyderabad skies, and hence the toss gets delayed yet again.

Seems like the wait will prolong for just a while longer as the toss is set to happen at 8 PM.

After an anxious and prolonged wait, the covers are off and the hessian has come off as well, as the toss may take place soon.

The supersoppers are well on their way to doing their way, but the slight drizzle does in fact end up delaying the toss for today’s match.

Not all of the covers have been taken off yet and reports suggest that they are coming back on. The supersoppers, meanwhile, have been deployed for the water near the boundary ropes. The clouds above are a real worry.

The rain has stopped at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium but water has accumulated on the ground where it was not covered, near the boundary ropes. This can be tricky to get sorted and for the Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans match to start on time.

Word from the ground is the rain may have subsided but the water is yet to be dried. There is a likelihood that it may rain again though.

In the SRH v GT head-to-head, the two teams have played each other 4 times in the IPL with the Titans winning 3 of those matches.

SRH v GT head-to-head

Sunrisers Hyderabad: 1

Gujarat Titans: 3

If the rain gods show no mercy to the SRH vs GT encounter in Uppal on Thursday, both teams will share a point each. Gujarat will end their IPL 2024 campaign with 12 points with 2 abandoned games, while SRH will likely get the ‘Q’ mark with 15 points in their kitty. The Orange Army will then have a chance to finish the league stage with 17 points as they will be left with one more game, against Punjab Kings on Sunday.
