With the defeat, SRH, who had the chance to go on top of the table, now dropped to third on the points table. Interestingly, the 1st, 2nd and 4th placed teams have 12 points, but SRH are 3rd because of their net run-rate, which is now +0.644.

SRH IPL 2026 Playoffs Qualification Scenario Explained How Can SRH Finish In Top 2? Thankfully for Sunrisers Hyderabad, they are placed fourth on the table. Now, for the Men in Orange to finish in the top four, they first need to win all their remaining games. Interestingly, SRH’s next three out of four matches are against PBKS, GT, and RCB, who are placed 1st, 5th and 2nd respectively on the points table.
If SRH manages to beat all these three teams, then too they can easily finish in top-two. SRH, at max, can finish at 20 points. For them to finish in top 2, they want Punjab Kings to lose two more matches or either RCB and RR to lose two matches.

In case, SRH fail to beat PBKS or RCB, then they must ensure that they beat CSK and GT. With that, SRH can finish the season with 16 points, which, as history suggests, fair points at which teams usually progress further placed 4th on the table.
