The 21st match of the 2022 edition of the Indian Premier League is currently underway at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, where the Sunrisers Hyderabad are locking horns with the Gujarat Titans. It is the first-ever match between these two franchises, and for the first time in IPL history, Rashid Khan is playing against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Umran Malik picked up the big wicket of Matthew Wade tonight.
Wade opened the innings with Shubman Gill for the Gujarat Titans. The left-handed batter had struggled to get going in the previous matches, and his ordinary show continued in IPL 2022 as he was dismissed by Umran Malik after a 19-ball 19. Malik’s sheer pace beat Wade as the Australian wicket-keeper batter was trapped in front of his stumps.
Despite losing Wade in the eighth over, Gujarat Titans managed to post a 162-run total on the board. Captain Hardik Pandya led from the front with a half-century. Abhinav Manohar supported him with a 21-ball 35. Here’s what he told the host broadcasters after the first innings:
“The stars were in the right place. Someone up there was looking up for me. I got three chances but I won’t get them every day. Should have made it count and taken it till the last over. We looked to play till the 17th over and then take it from there.”

Harsha Bhogle is all praise to Umran Malik for his fiery first over against Gujarat Titans today!#IPL2022 #SRHvGT pic.twitter.com/mKOhuk6CML
Eventful over that from Umran Malik. Surprised Hardik on the first ball, but then was very predictable on the next two and got punished. Then corrected his length, and on the last ball, completely beat Wade for pace.
