Gujarat Titans have qualified for the playoffs of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL). They defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Monday (May 15) by 34 runs and are now assured a top two finish as well.
Sunrisers Hyderabad lost their 8th match of the season, thereby, becoming the second team to get knocked out of the playoffs race. The Titans are sitting pretty at the top of the points table and are unlikely to be displaced with only Mumbai Indians having a chance to reach 18 points whose net run-rate is not great
Mumbai Indians and Lucknow Super Giants are scheduled to face each other on Tuesday (May 16) with a chance to more or less secure their place in the playoffs as well.
A win for LSG will take them to third position while MI will take down CSK to reach second place if they manage to win this game.
