Indian T20 League 2022: Match 65: Mumbai vs Hyderabad: Preview, Probable XIs, Pitch Report, Match Details and Updates

Mumbai and Hyderabad will play each other at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on May 17. The 2016 winners are coming off five consecutive losses while Mumbai won three of their last four games. The Rohit Sharma-led side has no stakes in the game as they are eliminated from the playoffs race. On the other hand, the Orange Army has a tiny chance of qualifying for the playoffs if they win both their remaining games.

Team News:

Mumbai: For the first time in their history, the team has lost nine games in a season. This season has been the forgettable one for the five-time winners. However, they have gained some winning momentum in the last few games, winning three out of four. The opposition teams must be closely looking at this carefully and would not want to take this team lightly.

Probable XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Tilak Varma, Ramandeep Singh, Tristan Stubbs/Kieron Pollard (o), Tim David (o), Daniel Sams (0), Hrithik Shokeen, Jasprit Bumrah, Riley Meredith (0), Kumar Kartikeya

Key Players: 

Daniel Sams: The left-arm pacer has been doing well in the last few games. In that last game against Chennai, he took three wickets which proved to be match-winning. Overall, he has taken 11 wickets this season.

Jasprit Bumrah: He has looked lethal in the last two games. Against Kolkata, he took his first five-for of his Indian T20 League career. In the last game against Chennai, he once again looked threatening. With form behind him, Bumrah will be key for Mumbai.

Hyderabad: The team has lost five games in a row. Now their qualification doesn’t entirely depend on their efforts. Firstly, they need to in their next two games. Also, they will need some other results to go their way. Talking about the playing XI, they can bring in Abdul Samad in place of Shashank Singh.

Probable XI: Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson (c), Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Abdul Samad, Washington Sundar, Marco Jansen, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik, T Natarajan

Key Players:

Abhishek Sharma: The opening batter has got 352 runs in 10 games, striking at 141.93. He has provided wonderful start with the bat in most of the games. He will be key to Hyderabad’s chances in the coming game.

Umran Malik: The tearaway pacer has taken 16 wickets in 10 games. However, he has blown hot and cold this season. He has the tendency to err on line and lengths but has the ability to tear apart batting line ups.

Pitch Report: The last game at the venue between Chennai and Gujarat saw a dry wicket on offer. The conditions are on the slower side and spinners will hold the key for teams. Batters need to get used to the pace of wicket before cutting loose.

Head-to-Head: Both teams have played 18 games out of which Mumbai has won 10 and Hyderabad have won 8
