Shikhar Dhawan has become the first player to hit 700 fours in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Dhawan reached this feat during the last league stage match of IPL 2022, between PBKS and Sunrisers Hyderabad, here at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.
Sunrisers Hyderabad pacer Umran Malik won the 'fastest delivery of the match' award for the 14th consecutive time on Sunday. The pacer achieved this feat after clocking 153.5 kmph in the last league stage match of IPL 2022, between SRH and Punjab Kings, here at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. Apart from this, Umran also got his maiden Team India call-up for the upcoming T20I series against South Africa in June 2022.
MUMBAI : Liam Livingstone was unable to fire Punjab Kings into the Indian Premier League (IPL) playoffs but the season's most expensive overseas player is pleased that his performances have at least silenced the critics.
The league stage of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season concluded on Sunday with Punjab Kings beating SunRisers Hyderabad by five wickets in a dead rubber at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Three-wicket hauls from Harpreet Brar and Nathan Ellis and a fantastic six-hitting show from Liam Livingstone powered PBKS to a comfortable win, with 29 deliveries to spare. The win saw Punjab Kings finish sixth, while SRH's campaign ended with them 8th on the IPL 2022 points table.
Liam Livingstone took a stunning catch in the field to get rid of Abhishek Sharma and continued his good work with the willow as Punjab Kings defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by five wickets in the last league match of the IPL. That the match had no bearing on the chances of both the teams making the playoffs did not stop the crowd from thronging the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday night. AS IT HAPPENEDBut SRH lost the plot midway through their innings after Abhishek and Rahul Tripathi put them on course with brisk knocks. They settled for 157 for eight, thanks in the main to a late charge in the last five overs that fetched them 61 runs. With Shikhar Dhawan (39; 32b, 4x2, 6x2) playing the sheet anchor, the Punjab batsmen went after the SRH attack with gusto. Jonny Bairstow set the tone and though he failed to cash in on a reprieve by Umran Malik off Washington Sundar, the batsmen who followed him down the order wasted little time in helping the team finish the match at 160 for five with 4. 5 overs to spare and finish sixth in the standings.
Punjab Kings ended their campaign on a winning note, crushing an already demoralised Sunrisers Hyderabad by five wickets in an inconsequential final IPL league match here on Sunday. Batting first, Sunrisers Hyderabad managed only 157 for 8 on a good batting track. But it was never going to be enough as Liam Livingstone made mincemeat of a hapless SRH attack, scoring 49 not out off 22 balls, and also hitting the coveted 1000th six of the tournament. Shikhar Dhawan (39 off 32 balls) and Jitesh Sharma (19 off 7 balls) also contributed handsomely to the team's cause as the chase was completed in just 15.1 overs.

Punjab Kings take on SunRisers Hyderabad in the final league stage match of IPL 2022 on Sunday at the xx stadium in Mumbai. Both teams are on 12 points and the winner will finish sixth at the least. PBKS lost their last match against Delhi Capitals. PBKS may opt to bring Odean Smith back and move Mayank Agarwal up the order, with Bhanuka Rajapaksa's form waning and the skipper failing at his new role at No.5 so far. The rest of the team is likely to stay intact.
