SRH vs GT Match 66 Results

4:52 PM IST Right then, it's an unfortunate end to this game being called off due to rain. With that one point, Hyderabad secure a playoff spot with one more game left to play. However, Pat Cummins and Co. no longer have the fate of a top-two finish in their hands. They need a win in their final game and hope that Rajasthan lose their game against Kolkata to seal a top-two finish. The excitement of the final week of the league stage continues with the next game coming to you from the Wankhede Stadium on Friday, 17th May. Mumbai will take on Lucknow in their final league stage match, set to commence at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT). As always, be sure to join in early for all the pre-match build-up! Until then, cheers and goodbye!

4:43 PM IST THERE IT IS FOLKS! THE MATCH HAS BEEN ABANDONED DUE TO RAIN. The two captains are now exchanging handshakes, bringing a formal conclusion to the proceedings. This game concludes on a sombre note as rain intervenes without even allowing the Toss. The outcome leaves both teams with a point each, resulting in Hyderabad becoming the third team to secure a playoff spot. Although Hyderabad would have preferred to face Gujarat here, a team low on confidence, to secure a full two points rather than settling for one shared point. This result also officially eliminates Delhi from playoff contention and makes equations very difficult for Lucknow. Gujarat's season ends on a disappointing note, with their last two games being washed out, potentially dampening their spirits to finish strongly. The other two teams in contention, Bengaluru and Chennai, will lock horns later in the week. A win for Chennai in that match will see them through to the playoffs. However, if Lucknow manage to win their game against Mumbai and Bengaluru triumph against Chennai, all three contenders will then be on 14 points and the NRR will come into play to determine the final playoff spot. It's shaping up to be an exciting finish to the league stage.

4:31 PM IST UPDATE - 10.01 pm IST (4.31 pm GMT) - The waiting game continues! The rain gods seem to be in no mood to show mercy, and it will be a real bummer if the game gets washed out. If no play is possible, as mentioned earlier, Hyderabad will secure their spot in the playoffs, while it will mark the end of playoff hopes for Delhi. Let's keep our fingers crossed and remain hopeful for a positive update.

3:56 PM IST UPDATE - 9.26 pm IST (3.56 pm GMT) - Regrettably, the situation remains unchanged at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, with a persistent drizzle dampening hopes of immediate play. Keeping in mind the cut-off time for a 5-over game, the ground staff will need around 40 minutes to clear the water and ready the field. Despite the setbacks, we remain optimistic that the rain will relent soon. Stay tuned for more updates!

3:20 PM IST UPDATE - 8.50 pm IST (3.20 pm GMT) - Unfortunately, nothing much has changed since the last update as it continues to rain. The covers are firmly in place, and we have started losing overs from 8.35 pm IST (3.05 pm GMT). With the cut-off time for a 5-over contest being 10.56 pm IST (5.26 pm GMT), we still have a decent amount of time on our hands to get in a shortened game.

2:50 PM IST UPDATE - 8.20 pm IST (2.50 pm GMT) - This update brings unfortunate news as the rain persists, and the covers remain securely in place. With each passing moment, the likelihood of losing overs increases, especially after 8.35 pm IST (3.05 pm GMT). If the match is indeed washed out, Hyderabad will qualify for the playoffs. Stay tuned for further updates!
