IPL 2022 | SRH vs PBKS | Match 70 Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, CREX XI

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will take on Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 70th and final league stage game of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on Sunday (May 22nd) at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. 


This game would be nothing but a dead rubber for both Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings, who are already out of the playoffs race.


With 6 wins from 13 games, SRH is reeling at the eighth spot on the points table. The orange army will miss the services of their skipper Kane Williamson, who has returned to New Zealand for the birth of his second child. Either Bhuvaneshwar Kumar or Nicholas Pooran is expected to lead the Orange Army in the regular captain's absence.


On the other hand, the Mayank Agarwal-led side butchered all the pre-tournament expectations as they failed to make it to the playoffs despite having one of the most balanced squads this season. Like Hyderabad, Punjab Kings won 6 out of their 13 games and wrapped up at the seventh spot in the points table. 


The outcome of this match won't change the fate of the teams. However, both sides would hope to end their tournament campaign on a winning note.

Pitch Report: The Wankhede Stadium has seen some low-scoring games in the last few days, and a similar sort of surface is expected on Sunday. The fast bowlers should get some help early in the initial hours. The spinners will come into play in the middle overs, with the pitch likely to slow down as the game progresses. Both teams will look to bowl first after winning the toss, with dew bound to have a say in the second half of the game.

#OTD in 2017 | Mumbai Indians became the first team to secure third IPL trophy

On this day, Mumbai Indians (MI) clinched a thrilling one-run victory over the Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) in the final of 2017 edition of Indian Premier League (IPL), becoming the first team to secure three title victories under their belt. In the 2016 edition of the tournament, both MI and RPS had failed to qualify for the playoffs. But, they made a remarkable turnaround in the following edition to seal the top two spots in the points table. It was the ‘Maharashtra Derby’ at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on May 21, 2017, and all eyes were set on whether MI will be able to break the jinx against RPS. After winning the toss, MI opted to bat first. However, the early dismissals of Parthiv Patel (3) and Lendl Simmons (4) by Jaydev Unadkat hurt their chances of having a flourish in the powerplay overs. After that, Ambati Rayudu and Rohit Sharma initiated recovery with some delightful shots. However, both the batters, Rayudu (12) and Sharma (24) were dismissed within a space of three overs. The Australian pair of Adam Zampa and Daniel Christian dismissed Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya, respectively, which put MI on the backfoot, leaving the team stuttering at 78/6 by the 14th over. However, Krunal Pandya delivered his career-best knock of 47* off 38 balls, with three fours and two sixes, helping MI post a respectable total of 129 on the board. In reply, talented RPS youngster, Rahul Tripathi, was dismissed early by Jasprit Bumrah. The team’s leading run-scorer, Steve Smith and Ajinkya Rahane, provided a stable start to the team and laid a platform to chase down a below-par total. However, Mitchell Johnson got the breakthrough for Mumbai in the form of Rahane (44) in the 12th over, which put a little bit of pressure on RPS. With 31 needed in 22 balls, Manoj Tiwary came at the crease. The duo of Tiwary-Smith tried to take the game deep, but left 11 runs for the final over, which was delivered by Johnson. On the first ball of the over, Tiwary hit a boundary towards the square leg region and enhanced the chances of RPS’s win. However, in the subsequent delivery, he got holed out to Pollard on long-on. In the third ball, Smith tried to play an inside-out shot towards deep cover, giving a catch to Rayudu. Then the next two balls saw a single by Washington Sundar, and Christain took a double. With three needed off the last delivery, Christian could not connect the ball well and was run-out in pursuit of completing a double. With this, MI lifted their third title. Krunal walked away with the ‘Player of the Match’ award for his match-winning contribution. This fixture marked the lowest total ever defended in an IPL final with the narrowest margin of one run.

NEP W vs UGA W 2022 | Jyoti Pandey and Rana Magar power Nepal to victory; Uganda take series 3-2

At the Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground in Kirtipur on Saturday, Nepal defeated Uganda by 33 runs thanks to the opening batter's effort. Jyoti Pandey scored a career-best 49 runs to help Nepal win the 5th T20I, finishing the series on a high note. After winning the first three matches, Uganda lifts the trophy with the scoreline reading 3-2. Pandey and Rana Magar, who were put in to bat by the visitors, gave Nepal their best start of the series by adding 47 runs for the first wicket. Uganda finally broke the deadlock when Phiona Kulume took Magar's wicket. Pandey then partnered with Indu Barma for another 35 runs to help Nepal get past a challenging period. Uganda dismissed Pandey for a well-made 61-ball 49 just when it appeared she might score her first T20I half-century. Nepal reached 120 runs, thanks to solid knocks from Kabita Joshi and Apsari Begum, with 26 runs coming from the last two overs. Despite just taking a wicket, Kulume was Uganda's best bowler on show. Unfortunately, Uganda didn't get off to the best of beginnings in chasing 124 to make it 4-1, losing Kulume and Janet Mbabazi early in the powerplay. They were unable to form any sort of partnership and frequently lost wickets. For the second time in as many matches, Uganda hitters failed to attack Nepal bowlers, with only Rita Musamali putting up a fight. However, it was too steep a hill for them to climb by the time she fell to Barma for 26 in the 18th over. As a result, Nepal cruised to a 33-run victory, despite Uganda scoring only 90 runs for the loss of six wickets. Barma and Rana Magar each took two wickets for Nepal, while Hiranmayee Roy, 15, was once again the star of the show. Pandey was adjudged as the ‘Player of the Match’ while Mbabazi walked away with the ‘Player of the Series’ award. Brief Scores: Nepal 123/6 in 20 overs (Jyoti Pandey 49, Kabita Joshi 18; Phiona Kulume 1/18) beat Uganda 82/8 in 18 overs (Rita Musamali 26; Indu Barma 2/12, Sita Rana Magar 2/15) by 33 runs.
