Sunrisers Hyderabad Qualification Scenario for the IPL 2024
Sunrisers Hyderabad after the loss against Chennai Super Kings slipped to No.4 in the points table. They have managed 5 wins and 4 defeats so far in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The loss against CSK hampered their NRR a bit but they have a healthy rate of +0.075
Even after the big loss against in the Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad are very much in contention to make it into the playoffs. They are one of the favourites to seal the spot but for they need to ensure that they win at least 3 out of their remaining 5 games in the tournament as it will take them to 16 points, which potentially is a quaflying mark.
Even if they win 2 out of their 5 games they will be in the race but they need to make sure they win two games by big margins to up their NRR. They cannot afford to lose 4 games as it would mean curtains for them in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.
