Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) thumped Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) by 10 wickets in match number 57 of IPL 2024 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Wednesday, May 8. In a disappointingly one-sided encounter, SRH held LSG to 165-4 after being asked to bowl first. In their chase, they romped home in 9.4 overs without losing a wicket.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar was brilliant for Sunrisers Hyderabad. The veteran pacer registered figures of 2-12 in four overs, getting the major scalps of Quinton de Kock and Marcus Stoinis. In the chase, Travis Head clobbered 89* off 30, while Abhishek Sharma smashed 75* off 28.
Following the thumping win, Sunrisers Hyderabad find themselves in third position in the IPL 2024 points table. They have 14 points from 12 matches at a net run rate of +0.406.
SRH will look to inch closer to a playoffs berth when they take on Gujarat Titans at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Thursday, May 16.

SRH face GT as playoffs race heats up
The Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Gujarat Titans clash at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on May 16 will be match number 66 of IPL 2024. This will be an evening game which will begin at 7:30 pm IST. The toss will take place at 7 pm IST.
While SRH are third in the IPL 2024 points table, Gujarat Titans are last. They have eight points from 11 matches at a net run rate of -1.320.
Winning their remaining three matches will take them to 14 points. However, that's not likely to be enough for them to reach the playoffs. Even if the run rate equation comes into play, Gujarat's chances of progressing are negligible.
When Gujarat met Hyderabad in the first half of IPL 2024 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, they hammered Pat Cummins and co. by seven wickets. Bowling first, the Titans held Hyderabad to 162-8 as Mohit Sharma claimed 3-25. In their chase, good contributions from the top and middle order took them home in 19.1 overs.
Gujarat have been in woeful form lately, having lost four of their last five matches, three of them in succession.
In their last three IPL 2024 matches, they have gone down to Delhi Capitals by four runs and to Royal Challengers Bengaluru by nine wickets and four wickets respectively.
