IPL 2022 Highlights SRH vs PBKS: Livingstone shines as Punjab Kings cruise to 5-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad

Along with SRH's Umran, Punjab Kings star Arshdeep Singh has also received a maiden India call-up for the three-match T20I series against South Africa.

SRH speedster Umran Malik has just received his maiden India call-up! He has been included in the squad for the three-match T20I series against South Africa.

Kagiso Rabada has found significant success against the likes of Nicholas Pooran and Washington Sundar, having dismissed them on five occasions in 42 deliveries.

Reminder: He's only 2 wickets away from becoming the fastest to 100 IPL wickets.

Jitesh Sharma played a tremendous knock of 44 runs to keep his team alive in the chase in the last game against Capitals but couldn’t get his team over the line. The youngster has played a few impactful knocks for PBKS down to order to post a big total on the board. Sharma has scored 215 runs at a SR of 158.08, out of which 60% of his runs have come against pacers.

Rahul Tripathi has been one of the most consistent batters for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in this season. He has scored 393 runs in 13 innings at an incredible strike rate of 161.72. Tripathi is one of the names being considered for India's 3-match T20I series against South Africa.

Arshdeep Singh may have not been among a lot of wickets (10 wickets in 13 innings), but he has delivered at crunch moments for the side. In fact, he has the second-highest economy rate during death overs in the ongoing season (7.95) behind Jasprit Bumrah.

PBKS opener Shikhar Dhawan needs one more four to complete 700 fours in IPL. He will be the first player to achieve this feat.

Umran Malik has been the stand-out performer for the Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2022. He is currently the fifth-highest wicket-taker in the season (21 wickets in 13 matches), and can move further up in the Purple Cap race tonight.

SRH and PBKS have met in 19 matches in IPL so far, with Hyderabad comfortable leading in the H2H record.

Matches played: 19
SRH won: 13
PBKS won: 6

Lasith Malinga - 70
Bhuvneshwar Kumar - 83
Amit Mishra - 83
Rashid Khan - 83
Ashish Nehra - 83

Rabada will be playing his 63rd IPL match if he takes the field against SRH.

Kagiso Rabada needs 2 more wickets to complete 100 IPL wickets, he will be the fastest bowler to reach this landmark in terms of matches played.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar has produced consistent performances for the SRH in IPL 2022 so far. He may not be among the leading wicket-takers for the side (12 wickes in 13 innings), Bhuvneshwar has been the most economical of all SRH bowlers (7.19).

Will he lead Hyderabad?

With Kane Williamson unavailable for the side in its final game of the season (he flew back to New Zealand to attend the birth of his child), it will be interesting to see who SRH pick as their captain.

Will it be Bhuvneshwar Kumar, or someone else?

In 11 innings, Mayank scored only 195 runs at an average of 17.72 in the ongoing season. Throughout the middle stages, Mayank pushed himself into the middle-order but it didn't help revive Punjab Kings' fortunes.

Will the PBKS captain finally score big tonight?

Punjab Kings have only themselves to blame for their inconsistent outing in IPL 2022. The side continued to shuffle with its batting order, which eventually hurt them in crunch moments. In addition, the poor run of their captain Mayank Agarwal also had a significant impact on the side's disappointing season.

Sunrisers Hyderabad began the season with two straight defeats, but then went on to register a five-match winning streak. Just as the Sunrisers looked favourites to book a playoff berth, they faced a close defeat to Gujarat Titans which hurt their momentum. Williamson's men endured five losses in a row and were eliminated earlier this week.

Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings will be playing for pride when they meet later tonight at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Both sides are eliminated from the race for playoffs.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings will look to end their IPL 2022 campaign on a high when both sides meet at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The SRH will also enter the field with a new captain, since Kane Williamson remains unavailable for the side.
