Hyderabad: The toss was delayed due to rain in the 66th Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Thursday.

The Sunrisers are currently standing in fourth place on IPL 2024 standings with 14 points and have a net run rate of +0.406. They have won 7 and lost 5 after playing 12 matches in this 17th season of the IPL. Of their previous five games, Pat Cummins-led SRH have won two matches as they failed to maintain consistency.
