Put this outright preview together with squad details and some form etc...
Mumbai came through for last year and I like them again though 4/1 looks short enough, think Delhi could go deep at twice the price.
Ive seen some top team bat and bowler markets as well and all tips are most welcome here

Mumbai: always competitive but not that impressed with the quality of their squad and can't see them going deep unless Evin Lewis and Sharma hit the ground running.Not for me at that price.
Chennai: A lot of experience in their team with Dhoni, Faf, jadeja, reina etc. Think they'll be consistent but don't see as many match winners as some of the other teams. Think they can make the playoffs but won't win.
Royals: Butler and Stokes are match winners but unless they fire every game they'll struggle. Don't have enough quality Indian players. pass
Dehli: Again, Some serious match winners with the likes of Roy, Maxwell and Munro but again I think they don't have enough good Indian players to perform consistently.
Bangalore: They have some serious players on the international front and Kohli, Yadav and chahal will form the backbone of the Indian players in the team. Favorites for me.
Kolkata: Their squad is thinner than most but they have real quality. I'm a big Chris Lynn fan and Chawla and yadav are quality spinners. Think they short a batsmen and another pace bowler but I think they could do well.
Sunrisers: Like the look of the squad. Will be consistant and should make the playoffs. From there anythings possible.
Punjab: Internationals look weaker than most squads. Miller or Gayle will need to come off consistently and I have my doubts either will.
Bets
Bangalore win @9/2
Top Batsman Lynn @14/1
Top Bowler Chahal @10/1
Top Kolkata batsmen Lynn @16/10
Top royals Batsmen Buttler @9/2

Can someone shed some light on how these handicaps work in cricket?
Delhi Daredevils +1.5 Wkts / +4.5 Runs 13/20
Rajasthan Royals -1.5 Wkts / -4.5 Runs 11/10

If team that bats first wins then run handicap comes into play. If team that bats second wins then wickets cap comes into play.Matador wrote: Howzit guys!

eg. Delhi Daredevils posts a score of 150/6 and Rajasthan chase it down by scoring 151/3 (Rajasthan win by 7 wickets) therefore had you taken them on the minus cap. 7 wickets is superior to the -1.5 and deemed a winner.
If Delhi Daredevils posts same score 150/6 and Rajasthan fall short by scoring lets say 145/6. DD win by 5 runs therefore -4.5 runs would be a loss given that DD effectively win by +9.5 runs overall

Think mumbai and Punjab are solid teams and have good chances to reach playoffs but lack the quality of KKR and RCB. Sunrisers have arguably the best bowling in the tournament, warner of course huge loss but with the form of dhawan and solid depth their batting should hold up.
Billings wasn't a liability last night!
Don't think Rajahstan & Delhi are rated that much by the bookies...
Agree on KKR. And when Russell hits form it puts them in a great position! Just one top seamer would have put them as a solid favourite for me.
Chenai and Mumbai are always there and there about and no team with Kohli and AB can be discounted that is for sure.

I was ready to scream match fixing there. Nice call Taylor.

KKR may have the slightly better squad but Gambhir is streets ahead of Karthik in the captaincy stakes.
DD to win @ 12/10
Top KKR bat Karthik @ 13/2 ( Unexpectedly generous odds at BetXchange in my opinion )

KXI batsmen have been scoring plenty but their bowlers have leaked runs at more than 8.5 per over. They have conceded 178 plus in each of their last three matches. This is the first match at this ground but I still fancy
1st Innings over 168.5 @ 17/20
and added
Gambhir/Roy @ 8/10
Top DD bat Pant @ 7/2 ( At least one of us has to make a bob or two Couch )

Struggling for inspiration today and I don't have an account at any book offering Mackem's player performance pick .
Only one for me today on the basis that this should be a 9/10 choice bet so I will take the higher odds on offer
