Sunrisers have bounced back from a forgettable start to win their last three matches, while Punjab got over the last-over heartbreak against Gujarat Titans to beat Mumbai Indians by 12 runs in their previous outing. The subplot of the contest could well be the brute pace of Umran Malik testing Punjab's power hitters.
Sunrisers Hyderabad continued their turnaround in IPL 2022 after defeating Kolkata Knight Riders by seven wickets for their third straight victory on Friday.
Sunrisers Hyderabad speedster Umran Malik has been the talk of the town for his lightening fast deliveries and head coach Tom Moody said the young Jammu and Kashmir player has been given the license "to run in and express himself" with the ball. The 22-year-old from Srinagar has consistently bowled deliveries clocking 145 to 150 km per hour this IPL. He bowled the fastest delivery in IPL history with the one clocking 153.1 km/hour against Chennai Super Kings on Saturday.
Former Pakistan skipper Rashid Latif lauded fast bowler Umran Malik after he produced a stunning performance to help SRH get over the line vs KKR. Umran bowled superbly for his 2/27 and got the crucial scalp of Shreyas Iyer and Sheldon Jackson which helped SRH restrict KKR to 175/8 in 20 overs. Umran took centerstage after castling the stumps of KKR skipper Shreyas with a superb yorker for 28 runs.
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Friday, Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) skipper Shreyas Iyer said his team put in a great effort in the game, but it was a bad day as a bowling unit. Brilliant half-centuries by Rahul Tripathi and Aiden Markram led SRH to a comfortable in their IPL 2022 match at the Brabourne Stadium here on Friday. "Feeling very drained. I thought it was a good total. To be honest, Tripathi came in and changed the momentum and didn't allow us to settle. Their bowlers executed the stuff well as the ball was seaming," said Shreyas Iyer in a post-match presentation.
Young SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) pacer Umran Malik has put on an exciting display of fast bowling ever since his Indian Premier League (IPL) debut last year. This year too, he was among the few positives for SRH as they got off to a slow start in IPL 2022. In their win against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Friday, he put on a brilliant display of raw pace, but also added good line and lengths to help restrict the opposition to 175/8. He picked two wickets and gave away just 27 runs in his four overs, and would be especially pleased with how he got rid of KKR captain Shreyas Iyer.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have had a good start to their season, winning three out of five matches. They slipped to defeat in their last game against Delhi Capitals, but will be looking to bounce back when they take on SunRisers Hyderabad at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai on Friday. KKR have most of their bases covered, but could end up making a few changes, with Aaron Finch available now and Ajinkya Rahane not impressing since anchoring their chase in the season opener. However, bringing Finch in would mean benching Sam Billings, who has looked good so far this season.
Kolkata Knight Riders this IPL season and you will think of the incredible whirlwind knock played by Pat Cummins (56* off 15 balls) against Mumbai Indians recently. It's a knock which will not be forgotten in a hurry. With KKR needing 35 off 30 balls, Cummins smashed 35 runs off one Daniel Sams over to help KKR romp home in style with 4 overs to spare. Cummins' batting strike rate is 333.33 in the tournament, the best overall. The 28 year old from Westmead, Sydney also equalled the record for the fastest fifty ever in the IPL (14 balls), equalling KL Rahul's previous record. KKR wicket-keeper batter Sam Billings spoke to TimesofIndia.com recently about a whole host of topics and called Cummins a genuine all-rounder.
