That's it from our coverage of the rain hit contest in Hyderabad. Ninaad Dixit here signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Sidharth Gulati, Ajay Pal Singh, AkshayaKrishna Polya, Deepak Prakash & Akshay Bhide and scorers/analysts Paras Yadav & Raju Khariya. Stay tuned for more cricketing action from all over the world.
That's it from Hyderabad tonight. A tense evening with the covers coming off on several occasions but the rain prevailed and the match has been called off. Both teams get a point each with Sunrisers Hyderabad confirming their spot in the playoffs with Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders. Gujarat Titans were already eliminated and have finished their campaign with 12 points to their name.
Sunrisers will face the Punjab Kings at this very venue hoping that the rain gods let them have a go before they play the playoff. It is the first occasion of Gujarat Titans not making the playoffs after making it to the finals twice and winning once since their introduction to the league.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are currently placed third on the points table with GT remaining at number 8. All the teams besides Delhi Capitals and GT have 1 match to spare.

They move towards the groundsmen and have a conversation. We will have an official confirmation soon. All in all, things aren't looking positive. A long long discussion between the match officials and groundstaff. Players are peeping out from their respective dressing rooms.
Okay! Vettori and Muralitharan want to sneak into the conversation. The two on-field umpires move away from the crowded area on the ground and have an intense chat with folded umbrellas.
