MI vs SRH, Wankhede Stadium. This is the last chance for Sunrisers Hyderabad to keep the hopes alive to qualify for the playoffs. If Mumbai Indians win this match, it is over for SRH. Looking at the venue stats, SRH has won only one game here at Wankhede. MI has nothing more to lose in the IPL 2022 now.

Whenever these two teams have played, the bowlers have dominated batters. Overall, the game is likely to be in the hands of the pace bowlers. The pitch favors the pace more than the spin. A point to note is that this is the home ground of MI. SRH played MI at Wankhede five times and managed to win only once.

SRH has gone down the hill from five straight wins earlier in the IPL 2022, and they have suffered five consecutive losses after that. Their only hope is to win the last two league matches and pray for RCB, KKR, and PBKS to lose their last league match.

If we look at the head-to-head stats, both the skippers have performed very poorly. Kane Williamson averages just 8.60 against MI, and Rohit Sharma averages 18.47 against SRH. This is directly reflected in the batting averages of the middle-order batters of both teams. Just for the team's sake, Williamson should either drop himself out or bat in the middle order. There's no other way for SRH.

MI has some consistent performers like Tilak Varma and Jasprit Bumrah. MI hasn't found a replacement batter for SKY yet. Tristan Stubbs went for a golden duck on his debut. It would be better in the team's interest to give a chance to batters like Rahul Buddhi or Aryan Juyal, or Sanjay Yadav.

Kieron Pollard is the top performer against SRH. If he is not available, MI should allow Tim David to bowl as the fifth or sixth bowler. He will be playing the same role as Pollard. He was seen hitting big sixes in the net practice sessions. Davis is a clean hitter of pace and his matchup against Umran Malik will be worth watching.
