Gujarat, with 2 points from two matches, are at number 7 of the points table. Hyderabad, on the other hand, also have 2 points from two matches but are at number 4 because of a higher Net Run Rate (NRR).

They lost to Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 63 runs in their second match on March 26. Hyderabad also defeated MI in their second match on March 27. However, prior to that, they lost to Kolkata Knight Riders by 4 runs on March 23.
