IPL 2022, Match 59 CSK vs MI, Stats Preview: Players records and approaching milestones

Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians will be facing each other in the 59th match of IPL 2022, to be played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. So far in this IPL, both MI and CSK have struggled at the bottom two spots of the points table, with CSK winning four and losing seven, and MI winning two and losing nine.

Both teams are yet to win at Wankhede Stadium in IPL 2022, with CSK losing both matches they played, and MI losing to LSG in the only match they played at the venue. This is a do-or-die match for CSK to qualify for the playoffs, while MI have already been eliminated. When both the teams faced earlier in the season, CSK won by three wickets in a last-ball chase.

For the CSK, their opening Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway has been in great form. Shivam Dube and Ambati Rayudu have also been in good touch while captain MS Dhoni has played some valuable cameos this season.  Maheesh Theekshana, Mukesh Choudhary, and Dwayne Bravo have been brilliant with the ball.

The batting form of MI’s captain Rohit Sharma has been a concern. However, hs opening partner Ishan Kishan had a good last three matches. Tilak Varma and Tim David have also played useful knocks for the team while Jasprit Bumrah, who had been completely out of form in the first ten matches of the season, took a brilliant five-wicket haul last match against KKR.
