The 65th match of the Indian T20 League 2022 sees Mumbai take on Hyderabad at Wankhede Stadium on Tuesday. Both teams are out of the contentions for the race to the playoffs. Mumbai have had a horrendous outing this season. They are currently languishing at the bottom of the points table, having managed to secure only 3 wins in 12 matches.

On the other hand, Hyderabad too have had a forgettable outing this season. After starting with two consecutive defeats, Hyderabad bounced back brilliantly but then suffered a string of losses. The franchise hasn’t recovered from that, since. Hyderabad are coming into the contest on the back of five consecutive defeats and would be looking to get back to winning ways.

Daniel Sams has proved to be a great asset to the team. He has consistently dished out impressive performances for the team. In the last match, he made impressive returns of 3 for 16 in 4 overs and will be the guy to watch out for on Tuesday.

  1. Jasprit Bumrah

Jasprit Burmah hasn’t lived up to the expectations this season for the franchise. But his recent performances do inspire a lot of confidence. He picked a 5-wicket-wicket haul against Kolkata and returned with impressive figures of 1 for 12 in 3 overs in the last game. He will be a player to watch out for on Tuesday.

  1. Tilak Varma

Young Indian batter, Tilak Varma has inspired one and all with his the batting exploits. Given how he has fared with the bat this season, he is likely to serve the franchise for many years to come and is already touted as the future captain of the franchise. He is currently the highest run-getter for Mumbai this season.

Probable Playing XI:

Rohit Sharma (c), Ishan Kishan (wk), Tilak Varma, Tristan Stubbs, Ramandeep Singh , Tim David, Daniel Sams, Kumar Kartikeya, Hrithik Shokeen, Jasprit Bumrah, Riley Meredith

Hyderabad:

Hyderabad would be desperate to break their losing streak in the Indian T20 League 2022. They have lost their last five matches and would be desperate to win on Tuesday. Kane Williamson’s form is a big concern for the team.

With him not in the best of form, the onus will be the one the likes of Abhishek Sharma, Aiden Markram, and Nicholas Pooran to do the bulk of the scoring.

Players to watch out for:

  1. Abhishek Sharma

Abhishek Sharma got the opportunity to open the innings for Hyderabad this season and he hasn’t disappointed anyone. Sharma has scored the most runs for the franchise this season. He gave the team a solid start in the last game with a 28-ball 43. The franchise would want him to convert those starts into big scores.

  1. Aiden Markram

Aiden Markram has been in top form with the bat as well. He was looking good in the last game and had scored 32 runs in 25 balls but, unfortunately, couldn’t convert the start into a big score. He will be a man to watch out for.

  1. Umran Malik

Umran Malik has made headlines this season with searing pace and bounce. With his ability to consistently bowl at over 150 clicks, he has been amongst the wickets. He bowled great lengths in the last game and returned with figures of 3 for 33. Malik is the highest wicket-taker for Hyderabad this season and it will be interesting to see how he bowls in the remaining matches.

Probable Playing XI:

Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson (c), Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Shashank Singh, Washington Sundar, Marco Jansen, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan, Umran Malik
