IPL 2022: Mumbai Indians' Schedule
The 2022 season is unique in the sense that, unlike previous editions, each team will not play the other twice, rather all 10 teams will play only 14 games each. In that regard, they will play five teams twice and four teams just once. To decide, which four teams will the team play once and which five twice, 10 teams are divided into two groups of five each. The group is based on the number of Trophies won and the number of participations in an IPL Final.
The following is the division of Group
|
Group 1 |
Group 2 |
|
Mumbai Indians |
Chennai Super Kings |
|
Kolkata Knight Riders |
Sunrisers Hyderabad |
|
Rajasthan Royals |
Royal Challengers Bangalore |
|
Delhi Capitals |
Punjab Kings |
|
Lucknow Super Giants |
Gujarat Titans |
Each team will play all the teams in its own group twice and the team parallel to it in the other group twice. And for the rest of the teams in the other group, the said team will play them only once. For e.eg MI will play all the teams in its group twice and Chennai Super Kings from the other group twice as well, but the other four teams from Group 1 will play MI only once.
On that basis, here is the full schedule of MI for IPL 2022

Mumbai will obviously be without the services of Jofra Archer for the entire season. Also, the fitness of Suryakumar Yadav has been in doubt for quite some time now, so it will only be clear on the matchday whether or not Surya is fit
