SRH vs GT, IPL 2024: Match 66 of the Indian Premier League will take place between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans on Thursday (May 16). Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming match.
SRH vs GT, IPL 2024: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Gujarat Titans (GT) will lock horns in match 66 of the IPL 2024 on Thursday. The match is slated for May 16 at 7:30 pm IST and will be played at the home ground of SRH at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
SRH, having won seven out of 12 matches, will likely qualify for the playoffs if they win this match. Pat Cummins-led Hyderabad has won two out of their last five matches. GT has won five of their 12 matches. Gujarat, led by Shubman Gill, has been eliminated. GT has won one out of their last five matches, while one match was washed out. They are eight on the points table.
This is going to be a crucial game for the hosts as a win here would nearly seal their spot in the playoffs. However, there are chances of rainfall and it might affect the play. Gujarat is already out of the playoffs race and they would surely look to spoil Hyderabad's chance.
