<h2><strong>What happens if SRH vs GT ends in a washout?</strong></h2>

<p>In case of a washout, points will be shared between SRH (currently 14 points)&nbsp;and GT with each team getting one point. In this scenario, SRH will qualify for the Playoffs with 15 points and still a game in hand against&nbsp;Punjab Kings (PBKS) on Sunday. The result would make it practically impossible for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Delhi Capitals (DC) to qualify for the Playoffs. The only downside for SRH will see them lose a point in the race for the top two which hands Rajasthan Royals (RR) an added incentive.</p>

<h2><strong>Why LSG and DC will be eliminated?</strong></h2>

<p>While DC have already ended their IPL 2024 season with 14 points, LSG can only reach a maximum of 14 points if they beat Mumbai Indians (MI) on Friday. Assuming SRH already have 15 points, both LSG and DC will not finish in the top three. In the case of the fourth spot, Saturday’s clash between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will officially end both LSG and DC’s pursuit of a Playoff spot.</p>

<p>A win for CSK (currently on 14 points) will see at least four teams finish with 15 or more points which would eliminate both DC and LSG. In case of an RCB (currently on 12 points) win, both Virat Kohli’s side and CSK will end with 14 points each but with a better Net Run Rate (NRR) which would again practically eliminate LSG and DC.</p>

<p>In case of a washout between RCB and CSK, the result favours MS Dhoni’s side as they will attain 15&nbsp;points practically eliminating the trio of DC, LSG and RCB from the Playoff race with at least four teams attaining 15 or more points.</p>

<p>As things stand if rain washes out the SRH vs GT clash, on Saturday RCB vs CSK clash will be a direct shootout for a place in the Playoffs.</p>
