IPL 2022, Match 65, MI vs SRH, Stats Preview: Players records and approaching milestones

Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad will be facing each other in the 65th match of IPL 2022, to be played at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. While MI became the first team to be eliminated from the playoffs race, SRH is currently struggling at 8th position in the points table. So far in this season, MI has won three and lost nine matches, while SRH has won five and lost seven matches.

At Wankhede Stadium this season, MI won once and lost once, while SRH lost both their matches. Mumbai Indians have officially been out of the playoffs this season. On the other hand, SRH needs to win both their remaining matches by huge margins and needs to have plenty of other results going their way to make it to the playoffs. Both the teams are facing each other for the first time this season.

After being at the bottom of the points table in a lackluster season, Mumbai Indians have won three of their last four matches. The form of their captain Rohit Sharma strikes a concern, while his opening partner Ishan Kishan has been relatively more consistent. 19-year-old Tilak Varma has had a fabulous season in the middle whereas Daniel Sams and Jasprit Bumrah are in good form with the ball.

Sunrisers Hyderabad had a roller coaster ride in the last ten matches, with five wins followed by five losses. The form of their captain Kane Williamson is an even bigger concern for SRH, with his inability to bat quick. Abhishek Sharma, Rahul Tripathi, and Aiden Markram have been consistent with the bat. One of the strongest bowling units in the first half of the season, there has been no collective performance by the bowling unit in the last five matches.
