IPL 2024 SRH Vs GT Match LIVE Score Update:
In today's eagerly awaited IPL 2024 showdown, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) face Gujarat Titans (GT). Set to take place at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, the start has been delayed by rain.
Rain has resumed in Hyderabad, prompting the covers to be put back onto the pitch. Should the match be washed out, both teams will be awarded a point each. Consequently, Hyderabad could secure a playoff entry, while Delhi Capitals (DC) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) might fall out of the playoff race due to poor net run rates.
The teams square off for the second time this season. Previously on March 31st, Gujarat claimed victory by 7 wickets in their home ground at Ahmedabad. Hyderabad now seeks to avenge that loss and cement their playoff position with a win.
