The 17th season of IPL is in its final stages, with Rajasthan Royals securing a playoff spot after Kolkata Knight Riders. In the 66th match on May 16, Sunrisers Hyderabad faced off against Gujarat Titans at Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad. Despite the scheduled start time of 7:30 PM, rain delayed the match until 9:30 PM, causing challenges for the ground staff in maintaining a dry pitch.
The potential cancellation of the match could have significant implications for Hyderabad's playoff prospects. If the match is called off, Hyderabad would gain a point, totaling 15 points and securing a playoff spot, surpassing Chennai to claim the third position in the points table. Hyderabad's position is crucial as Gujarat Titans are no longer in contention. Hyderabad currently holds the fourth spot with 14 points.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad Team includes Pat Cummins as captain, along with a lineup of players such as Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Glenn Phillips. On the other hand, Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill, feature players like David Miller and Rashid Khan.
