IPL 2022, Match 33 MI vs CSK, Stats Preview: Players records and approaching milestones

Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings will be facing each other in the 33rd match of IPL 2022, to be played at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai. In the last IPL season, CSK were the champions while MI just missed the playoffs, finishing fifth in the points table. This IPL season has been very disappointing for the two most successful teams MI and CSK, who are currently in the bottom two spots of the points table.

Both teams have played six matches this season, with CSK winning one and MI losing all their matches. Both teams have played two games at Brabourne Stadium this season, with none of these teams able to win any match.

Both teams desperately need a win to stay in contention for the playoffs where only four out of ten teams can qualify. Both sides would need a serious improvement in the bowling department, though the batting seems fine.For CSK, Shivam Dube has been outstanding with the bat despite the results going against him. Robin Uthappa has also been impressive.

For MI, Suryakumar Yadav, who came late into the tournament after recovering from injury, is their leading run-scorer with 200 runs in just four innings. Rohit Sharma will hope his team doesn’t create a new unwanted record of losing the opening seven matches of an IPL season.
