At the same time, Gujarat team ended its journey in the current season with 12 points.

It rained a few hours before the match in Hyderabad and then the ground became very wet. Continuous efforts were made to dry it and then the toss was announced at 8 pm and the game would start at 8.15 pm. However, while preparations for the toss were going on, rain struck again and there was no chance after that. After a long wait, the umpires did not see any improvement in the situation and then canceled the match.

Let us tell you that the last match of Gujarat Titans was also canceled due to rain and the team was out of the race for the playoffs. In that match, the team was to face Kolkata Knight Riders but due to continuous rain in Ahmedabad, the toss was not possible.

Sunrisers Hyderabad made it to the playoffs

Sunrisers Hyderabad got 1 point from the canceled match and now have 15 points from 13 matches and have become the third team to make it to the playoffs after Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals. Delhi Capitals have suffered a loss due to Hyderabad's advance. Delhi has 14 points but its net run rate is very bad. In such a situation, Rishabh Pant's team is now out. Hyderabad will now have a chance to make it to the top 2 but for this it will have to win its last league match. At the same time, we have to hope that Kolkata Knight Riders team beats Rajasthan Royals. If both these equations are possible then Pat Cummins' team will be seen playing in the first qualifier.
