Punjab Kings failed to chase down a middling target against Delhi Capitals on Monday and as a result face an uphill task in their last match if they are to qualify for the IPL 2022 playoffs. The loss left them at 12 points with just one match to play, two behind the likes of Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore, who are in the drivers' seat to make it to the top 4.
Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants will be desperately looking at when they play their last league match of this IPL at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday. LSG, with 16 points, have one foot in the playoffs and a win will guarantee them a berth. Knowing that four teams (Rajasthan Royals, LSG, Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore) can end up at 16 points, the IPL debutants would not like to take any chances and get into a complicated net-runrate equation to qualify. A big win on Wednesday can see them qualify as the second-best side after Gujarat Titans. For KKR, a win will see them finish on 14 points and can only guarantee them a waiting-list ticket, the confirmation of which will depend on how some of the other teams fare in this last week of the league phase.

SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) defeated Mumbai Indians (MI) by three runs in Match 65 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season, at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday. Defending a target of 194 runs, SRH restricted MI to 190 for seven in 20 overs with Umran Malik taking three wickets. Initially, a knock of 76 runs off 44 balls by Rahul Tripathi helped SRH post 193 for six in 20 overs. Ramandeep Singh took three wickets for MI in three overs.
Umran Malik's stunning performance for SunRisers Hyderabad has made him a great prospect for the Indian cricket team. The 22-year-old from Jammu and Kashmir has been hailed as the next big thing in Indian pace bowling scenario. So far, in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022, Malik has scalped 18 wickets in 12 matches. He has been clocking great speeds too, and has bowled the quickest delivery this season - 157kmph - in a match against Delhi Capitals. His performance has led many to believe that he must be fast-tracked into the Indian cricket team, especially with the T20 World Cup coming up in five months' time.
The Mayank Agarwal-led Punjab Kings are in a very tricky situation in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. Their 17-run loss to Delhi Capitals on Monday was their seventh in 13 matches. They have 12 points so far, and with only one league-stage match left in their campaign, PBKS will have to depend on other teams' results to have a shot at qualifying for the play-offs. Agarwal, who was appointed the skipper ahead of the season, has failed to perform with the bat too. In 12 matches, he has scored 195 runs at an average of just 17.73.
