Just 2 Wins So Far, But SRH Can Still Qualify For IPL Playoffs – Here's How
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have struggled to find momentum in Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, with just 2 wins in 8 matches so far. Despite the disappointing run, they are not entirely out of the playoff race - but the road ahead is steep.
Can SRH still qualify for Playoffs?
Yes, but only if they turn things around quickly. If SRH win all of their remaining six league matches, they'll finish with 16 points - a total that typically secures a playoff spot.
There have been seasons where teams have advanced with 14 points, but that scenario depends heavily on other results and requires a strong net run rate (NRR).
Currently, SRH's NRR stands at -1.361, which puts them at a disadvantage. To have any realistic chance, they must not only win all remaining matches but do so convincingly to improve their NRR.
What's ahead for SRH?
Here's a look at SRH's remaining fixtures:
April 25 – vs Chennai Super Kings (Chennai)
May 2 – vs Gujarat Titans
May 5 – vs Delhi Capitals
May 10 – vs Kolkata Knight Riders
May 13 – vs Royal Challengers Bangalore
May 18 – vs Lucknow Super Giants
Only two of these matches are at home; the rest will be away, adding to the challenge.
A single loss could be the end of their playoff hopes - the margin for error is gone. With everything on the line, SRH will need to rally as a unit and bring out their best cricket in the remaining games.
