What happens if the Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans match is called off due to rain?

Sunrisers Hyderabad's bid to secure a spot in the playoffs in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League could be hampered by rain as thunderstorms are threatening their Thursday evening match against the Gujarat Titans at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. 
Hyderabad need a victory to solidify their position in the top 4, while the Gujarat Titans have already been eliminated from contention. However, the latest weather forecast predicts rain throughout the evening with a significant chance of downpours during prime match hours.
In the event of a complete shout, both teams will be awarded one point each. If a match is possible after a rain delay, then, with the help of the Duckworth-Lewis method, a revised target will be set for the team batting second. However, if the team batting second is unable to complete 5 overs within an hour after that designated match, the match will be declared a no result. 
Unlike the playoff matches, the league stage does not have a reserve day schedule, which means a washout will have a definitive impact on the points table.
