Preview: On Thursday, May 16, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Gujarat Titans (GT) will square off at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad.
With two games left, SRH is currently positioned in fourth place and has a chance to finish second in the IPL points table and go to the playoffs. GT, who are already out of the race and will play for dignity, have the lowest net run rate in the 10-franchise league.
SRH will be full of optimism after defeating Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by a record-breaking 10-wicket margin. It was the first IPL washout of the season as GT’s match against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) concluded without a ball being bowled.
