SRH vs GT Highlights IPL 2024: Match abandoned due to rain; Sunrisers Hyderabad qualifies for playoffs

After much deliberation between the umpires and the ground staff, the captains shake hands and the match is officially called off. This means that Sunrisers Hyderabad has officially qualified for the playoffs, but it also means it will be harder for it to finish in the top-two. Meanwhile, it’s curtains for Gujarat Titans this year. 

Live visuals show the umpire’s walking out onto the covers with umbrelllas as there is still a drizzle around. Plenty of water on the covers and looks like this is all heading towards a washout.

IPL 2024: What happens if SRH vs GT match is washed out in Hyderabad due to rain?

With rains lashing the city of Hyderabad on Thursday, hosts Sunrisers will not be fretting too much over the prospect of its Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Gujarat Titans being washed out.

The rain has intensified in Hyderabad as the wait continues. 

The cut-off time for a five-over game is 10:30 PM IST. 

Our reporter from the venue says rain remains constant and the match will not begin anytime soon. 

GT’s last game against KKR was washed out due to bad weather in Ahmedabad. Are we in for the same in Hyderabad as well?

The whole ground is back under covers as rain increases. The fans could be in for a long night. 

The rain has made an appearance again as the pitch is back under covers. Toss delayed further. 

Toss is set to happen at 8PM IST and the match will begin at 8:15 PM IST.

Looks like the match will be played with the covers coming completely off!

If the match is called off, SRH will get one point, which takes its tally to 15, enough for the top-four slot. Hence even a washed out result will ensure SRH a playoff spot!

The toss is delayed due to rain!
