Qualification scenario for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH):
The defeat means Sunrisers Hyderabad only have 3 wins from 10 games. With four more league games remaining, they can win a maximum of 7 games. While SRH are still in contention for the playoffs, their fate is no more in their hands.
Even if they go on to win the remaining games, which is a tall order given their current form, they will have to depend on other results as well. For the time being, Sunrisers Hyderabad should only focus on turning things around and winning the remaining four games.
