IPL 2024: SRH secures IPL playoffs spot

SRH qualifies to IPL Playoffs

SRH has been good with bat consistently throughout IPL 2024. While they did have off days chasing, overall, they did see their openers firing all cylinders in this season and that helped them in thumping their authority against many oppositions. They have become the one team to score above 250 for fun in this IPL. Now, SRH secured their place in IPL playoffs as GT match in Hyderabad got abandoned due to rain.

While, SRH would have loved to play as they had a huge gap of 8 days between matches, now, they would focus on 19th May match against PBKS to secure second spot over RR. On the other hand, GT aka Gujarat Titans, did not get to play their final two matches due to rains in Ahmedabad and Hyderabad. With huge win against CSK, they would be taking positive memories into next season and IPL Mega Auction.

SRH will now hope that CSK and RCB match on 18th May, would put more pressure on RR to qualify at second place to Playoffs. CSK win would mean their contention for second spot being a reality while RCB will hope for a big win for them to qualify at Bengaluru. But if rains spoils that match too, SRH and CSK would end up on same points, hence, SRH would be looking to win their PBKS match under any circumstances.

But this news has ended hopes for DC to qualify and LSG will have to thrash MI to even keep themselves in contention. So, SRH has become the third team to confirm their qualification behind KKR and RR. Now, their fight would be secure second spot and they did give RCB, a huge opportunity to qualify.
