Prediction of the Game

0:

Mumbai and Hyderabad will face off in match number 65 of IPL 2022. At this stage, only Hyderabad remain just about alive in the race to the Playoffs while Mumbai have already been ruled out. This means that this is the perfect opportunity for Mumbai to spoil yet another party after their win over Chennai in their previous match knocked the Men in Yellow out of the Playoffs contention.

Having said that, Hyderabad will also look to turn it around and register wins in their remaining two matches and hope for the best since their journey into the final four will depend on the result of the other matches.

Ahead of the two teams' first meeting in IPL 2022, here is what statistics have to predict about the fixture set to be staged at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.

1. Toss Prediction

One has to predict Hyderabad to win the toss. While Kane Williamson won a flurry of tosses to begin IPL 2022, he has lost a few towards the latter half. Having said that, he still has a better record than Mumbai, so predicting Hyderabad to call it right at the toss.

2. Win Possibility

The overall head-to-head record suggests a pretty even stevens rivalry between the two. The two sides have met on 17 previous occasions and while Mumbai have won 9 matches, Hyderabad have registered a victory in other 8 fixtures. This means the current form will be a big criterion and on that Hyderabad seem a bit behind. While Mumbai have won their last 3 out of 4 matches, Hyderabad have lost 5 in a row. So based on that stat alone and the fact that the Blue and Gold Brigade will receive support from home fans, predicting Mumbai to win this game.

3. Team of the Day

The Team of the Day is Mumbai on current form. They have looked a better team in recent games and with them making some bold calls like excluding Kieron Pollard from the XI, they appear to be an even more dangerous side.

4. Powerplay Score

The average powerplay at the Wankhede Stadium is 44.9. Mumbai are expected to go past 45 runs in six overs while Hyderabad have been struggling so they could end up with fewer runs than that.

5. Average first innings and second innings score

166.17 has been the average first innings score here in IPL 2022 in the 17 matches played so far. 159.35 is the average in the second innings in these fixtures.
