IPL Qualification Scenario after SRH vs GT match got abandoned: The race for the playoffs in IPL 2024 has become very tough. The 66th match of the tournament was to be played between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans. However, the match was canceled due to rain and both the teams were given 1-1 point.
With this win, SRH has become the third team to qualify for the IPL playoffs. This is the first time since 2020 that SRH has reached the playoffs. Now only 1 spot is left for the playoffs and the fight for this is going on between RCB and CSK.
Now the question is that if the match is canceled due to rain, what effect will it have on the playoff equation. Let us tell you that Gujarat Titans is already out of the race for the playoffs. Therefore, there is no loss for them if this match is cancelled.
With 15 points in 13 matches, SRH’s playoff ticket has been confirmed. Meanwhile, Hyderabad has one match left against Punjab, even if the team loses in that, they will not have any problem.
What is the IPL Qualification Scenario after the cancellation of SRH match?
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are currently leading RCB with 14 points and a strong net run rate of 0.528. Whereas RCB team is behind them with 12 points and net run rate of 0.378. A big match is to be played between Chennai and RCB on May 18, the winner of which will go to the playoffs. But if RCB wants to reach the playoffs, they will have to control Chennai’s net run rate. For this, RCB will have to win against Chennai by 18 runs i.e. 18.1 overs.
At the same time, if this match is also canceled due to rain, then both the teams will have 15 points each. However, CSK will qualify thanks to a slightly better run rate. If RCB wants to qualify, they will just have to defeat CSK as per the given equation. Now they just have to convince God that the match should not be canceled due to rain.
