    Fans react as SRH qualifies for IPL 2024 playoffs after rain abandons match against GT

    Match 66 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024  between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Thursday (May 16) was washed out due to relentless rain. This washout secured SRH’s place in the IPL 2024 playoffs, making them the third team to qualify after Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Rajasthan Royals (RR).

    SRH’s IPL 2024 playoffs journey

    Before the match between SRH and GT, SRH were fourth in the IPL standings with 14 points from 12 matches. The washout added one point to their tally, bringing it to 15 points from 13 matches. In contrast, GT ended their campaign with 12 points, falling short of the playoff spots. This marks SRH’s first playoff appearance since the 2020 season, having previously finished 8th in 2021, 2022 and 10th in 2023.

    Pat Cummins’ influence

    Pat Cummins, the SRH captain, has been pivotal in their turnaround this season. Fresh off title victories in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 and the ODI World Cup 2023, Cummins has led SRH with a fearless brand of cricket. His leadership has been credited for revitalizing the team and steering them back into playoff contention.

    Match-day rain drama

    The matchday was marked by a steady downpour that delayed the toss and eventually led to the match being abandoned without a ball being bowled. Despite the inclement weather, a large crowd gathered at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium to support the home team. The fans were treated to a light show and music, celebrating SRH’s progress to the playoffs.

    Implications of the washout

    The washout had significant implications for the IPL playoff race. SRH’s qualification almost ended the playoff hopes for Delhi Capitals (DC) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Meanwhile, Cummins’ team will face Punjab Kings (PBKS) on May 19 at home, with a chance to finish in the top two and secure a spot in Qualifier 1 against table-toppers Kolkata.

    Upcoming virtual knockout

    The playoff picture added extra spice to the upcoming clash between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Bengaluru on Saturday. This match is now effectively a virtual knockout, with both teams vying for a spot in the playoffs. The rain-induced changes have heightened the stakes, promising an exciting end to the league stage of IPL 2024.

  • IPL 2024 Qualification Scenarios: How can Lucknow Super Giants qualify for playoffs after loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 57?

    IPL 2024 Qualification Scenarios: How can Lucknow Super Giants qualify for playoffs after loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Match 57?

    In a pivotal clash between the Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Rajasthan Royals in Match 57 of IPL 2024, KL Rahul won the toss and opted to bat first. This wasn’t really a surprising call made by Rahul, given how potent SRH have been when given the license to express themselves with the bat first.

    The skipper could not capitalize and utilize the powerplay, ultimately perishing for a lingering 29 (33). Quinton de Kock and Marcus Stoinis got dismissed for trivial scores, but a 99-run stand for the fifth wicket between Nicholas Pooran and Ayush Badoni, LSG’s highest for that particular wicket in their entire history. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Sri Lankan debutant, Vijayakanth Viyaskanth were impressive with the ball, with the pacer not conceding a single boundary in his entire spell and picking a couple of wickets as well, and the young leggie exhibiting excellent control, going for only 27 runs in his four.

    The two SRH openers slaughtered LSG’s bowlers, whacking every one to all parts of the ground. The first over bowled by Krishnappa Gowtham went for eight, post which every other bowler leaked runs like a burst dam, conceding the 166-run target in just 9.4 overs, shattering all sorts of records on the way. Impact Player, Travis Head, in combination with Abhishek Sharma, created absolute mayhem on the field as they didn’t let anyone off the hook, ending up with psychedelic scores of 75*(28) and 89*(30), lacing 16 fours and 14 maximums en route to a massive confidence-booster of a victory for the home team.

     After being inflicted with a ruthless loss at the hands of SRH, LSG have it all to do in their remaining two matches, which will be against the Delhi Capitals and the Mumbai Indians, respectively. With their net run rate taking a toll due to the margin by which they lost against SRH, it’s the least as compared to the five teams above them (-0.769).

    Tied on their opponents for their next fixture with both of them being on 12 points with six wins and as many losses in their respective campaigns, their next game will be a do-or-die for them, with them failing to win that being the end of the season as far as the franchise is concerned, who finished third in their initial seasons (2022 and 2023), with their final league game against MI being nothing more than a dead rubber.

    SRH XI against MI | Predicted Sunrisers Hyderabad playing 11 against Mumbai Indians for 55th Match of IPL 2024

    Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) led by Pat Cummins will take on Hardik Pandya’s Mumbai Indians (MI) in the 55th game of the Indian Premier League 2024. After suffering two losses in two games, the SRH side came back to winning ways with a 1-run triumph against Rajasthan Royals in a last-ball thriller.

    The game on Monday couldn’t have come at a better time for Hyderabad, as Mumbai are already almost out of the tournament and are currently bottom of the table and struggling for form.

    Both sides had met earlier in the season with SRH scoring 277 runs as Mumbai Indians fell short of the target. In current form, the 2016 winners score heavy over the five time winners as most of their batters and bowlers are in prime form.

    Here is the likely Sunrisers Hyderabad XI for their game against MI in IPL 2024:

    Openers – Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma

    Mayank Agarwal’s poor form with the bat gave young Abhishek Sharma a chance to open the innings. Taking full advantage of the chance, the young left-handed batter has done his best and been in tremendous form with the bat.

    Travis Head has changed the way batting has been approached during this season of the IPL. The Australian star has been one of the most dangerous batters and time and again given SRH a great start. His first game of IPL 2024 came against MI where he scored a half-century in real quick time.

    Middle-order – Aiden Markram, Abdul Samad, and Heinrich Klaasen

    Heinrich Klaasen

    The onus of scoring runs in the middle-order falls on the South African duo of Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen. The two batters have been in tremendous form, with Klaasen in particular being devastating against the spin bowlers. 

    Abdul Samad began the season well with the bat, where he scored a few crucial knocks as a finisher. In the last few games, however, the young batter has seen runs dry up as the form has deserted him. With the Mumbai Indians bowlers struggling, Samad will want to use this as a chance to come back to form.

    All-rounders – Nitish Kumar Reddy and Shahbaz Ahmed

    Nitish Kumar Reddy

    Young all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy played a pivotal knock in the last match against Rajasthan Royals. The cricketer has been gaining a lot of attention for his amazing batting and handy medium pace bowling. 

    Shahbaz Ahmed has been having somewhat of a break-out season. The 29-year-old has been in good nick with the bat and also been economical with the ball in hand. The southpaw will want to continue this form and help his side get into the Playoffs.

    Bowlers – Pat Cummins, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mayank Markande, and Jaydev Unadkat

    PAT AND BHUVI

    Out of favour Indian pacer, Bhuvneshwar Kumar came back into roaring form during the game against the Royals. His wicket of Sanju Samson reminded fans of his vintage bowling skills, and his wicket to dismiss Rovman Powell showed nerve that the experienced pacer can hold at crucial junctures of the game.

    Captain Cummins too will want to contribute more with the ball as he continues to grow leaps and bounds as a captain. Jaydev Unadkat who spent a season in Mumbai will want to come back and prove a point against his former side. The same is the case with Mayank Markande who began his IPL career with MI, and he knows the wicket at Wankhede very well. 

    Sunrisers Hyderabad Predicted XI vs Mumbai Indians:

    Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen (WK), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Pat Cummins (C), Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mayank Markande, and Jaydev Unadkat
