The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have a golden opportunity to solidify their place in the IPL 2024 playoffs when they host the Gujarat Titans (GT) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad today.
SRH on cusp of IPL 2024 playoffs glory
Currently sitting comfortably in fourth place with two matches remaining, SRH are riding high on confidence. Their recent record-breaking 10-wicket demolition of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) has further boosted their morale.
With two home games left, including today’s clash against GT, SRH hold the key to securing their playoff berth.
GT deflated spirits after washout
In stark contrast, the Gujarat Titans find themselves in a much different situation. Their previous encounter against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) ended in a washout, marking the first abandoned match of the season.

This damp outcome, coupled with previous losses, has effectively eliminated GT from the playoff race. They will be playing solely for pride today.
SRH favorable match conditions
The odds are heavily stacked in SRH’s favor. Not only do they enjoy the home advantage, but their remaining opponents, including GT and the Punjab Kings, are both languishing at the bottom of the points table.

Focus on Travis-Abhishek exploits
All eyes will be on the explosive opening duo of Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head once again. Their dominant partnership has been a key factor in SRH’s success.
With GT boasting the worst six-hitting record in the league, compared to SRH’s league-leading tally, successfully containing the SRH openers will be crucial for GT’s limited bowling attack.
