Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Rajasthan Royals in the 52nd match of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season on Sunday in the last-ball thriller. Abdul Samad and Glenn Phillips were the heroes for SRH as they chased down a 200+ score for the first time ever. With this win, SRH climbed to ninth position in the points table and moreover, stayed alive in the competition. Along with them Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals are also at 8 points and one more loss will more or less end their hopes of making it to the top four.

Despite the loss, the Royals are at the fourth position with 10 points from 11 games. They can now reach only 16 points and most probably, won't be able to make it to top two and are in a must-win situation even to make it to the playoffs. Royal Challengers Bangalore, Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings closely follow RR at 5th, 6th and 7th places respectively and have an extra game in their hand as well.

Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings, with 16 and 13 points respectively, are sitting pretty at the top two positions in the points table. Lucknow Super Giants have also slipped up in the second half with 11 points in 11 matches so far and cannot afford to slip up further.

Gujarat Titans - 11 (Matches), 8 (Won), 0.951 (Net Run Rate)
