I am surprised I don't see you guys posting here, as in previous years the IPL was a major draw card on this forum.
I'm not much into cricket, other than Twenty20, I usually follow you guys. The fast version is more appealing however, so I'm in.
Tonight we have Sunrisers Hyderabad v Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Here are my bets:
Total match sixes over 10.5 @1.75
Total match fours over 26.5 @1.68
Highest Opening Partnership - Sunrisers Hyderabad @1.80 (they have Warner and Bairstow)
Top Team A Wicket Taker - Rashid Khan @3.00 (he is great in the UAE)

With all the Covid chaos I haven't had a chance to do my usual amount of pre tournament "due diligence" (in the words of our young pro punters). After tomorrow's games I should have a better idea of what's up and will be adding some input here.

RR v CSK
Match Runs over 310.5 @ 8/10

CSK Top Bowler
PP Chawla @ 4/1
and the match beers going to
MOM
S Curran @ 16/1
A couple of sixes in his 16 run cameo and reasonable bowling figures in their first match.

Pitch a belter, short boundaries ... some power hitters to come, CSK seems short of gallop in the bowling department.
Hope I don't get burnt.

KXIP v RCB
First innings runs over 164.5 @ 17/20
Statistically this match sixes is a poor bet at the odds but I am taking it at third of my stake on the above because it feels right and is a nice bet to carry when watching
Match sixes over 11.5 @ 9/10
RCB Top Bowler

Eight matches in and I rate CSK and SRH worse than their opening price and DC and KIXP look better. Rest about the same. The odds on CSK and SRH have lengthened and DC have shortened to 9/2. KXIP are still being priced up at 8/1? Not sure why. I do like their young spinner Bishnoi.
Taking some KIXP @ 8/1
May take something on this afternoons match depending on how the cycling is going.

After a disappointing defeat in the first round, the defending champions, Mumbai Indians, have a got a confidence booster when they beat their rivals from Kolkata by 49 runs.
RCB are coming from a 97 runs defeat to Kings XI Punjab, scoring only 109 runs.
The four matches in Dubai so far have not seen more than 316 runs, which is smaller than the line today.
In three of the matches the total fours was bigger than the line today.
Bet 1: Mumbai win @1.72
Bet 2: Total Team Fours Mumbai over 13.5 @1.87
Bet 3: Total Match Fours over 26.5 @1.66
Bet 4: Total Runs Under 320.5 @1.83

The Capitals have a very well balanced squad, and more than that, their batting compartment deliver the goods, they are very good.
Moreover, the match is being played in Sharjah, a smaller pitch that produces many runs and sixes.
The Capitals have 4 wins in 5 matches, while the Royals have only 2 wins and lost their last 3 matches.
In their previous match here, Delhi Capitals scored 228 runs (18 fours and 14 sixes).
Bet 1: Delhi Capitals Over 206.5 Runs @1.86, sportsbet.com.au
Bet 2: Delhi Capitals Over 11.5 Sixes @1.83, bet365

This match is played in Sharjah, batsmen paradise. Finch may get his runs now after some poor showings.
RCB batsmen are in good form.
I expect Padikkal and Kohli to have a good day batting.
Kohli has been scoring big numbers (43, 72, 90), so I expect him to score a 50 here.
Match Sixes over 22.5 @1.87, sportsbet.com.au
RCB Most Sixes @2.20, bet365

I had a nibble on Kartik as Top KKR bat so a big crumble from them could be what I need now.

Anyway onto today and the loss of Pant screws things up a bit for Delhi. Means Carey comes in to keep and they lose Hetmeyer as international. Pant & Hetmeyer missing takes away quite a bit of strike power but must say the bowling attack looks very good with KG and Ashwin there to run the show.
I'm backing Shaw to clear the ropes and hoping Carey is keen to use his chance. Starting to lean towards a nice strike on RR to have a faster 1st six overs as Dhawan & Rahane aren't quick out the gate.
