Monday 11th May Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals
Venue: Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala
Match Result Betting: Punjab Kings 6/10 Delhi Capitals 1.35/1
Punjab Kings spent much of the first half of the tournament t the top of the standings but they have suffered 3 successive defeats and their overall record now comprises of 6 wins, 3 defeats and 1 no result. Their most recent action came last Wednesday away to the Sunrisers and despite an unbeaten ton from Cooper Conolly chasing 236 for victory proved a bridge too far as their innings closed on 202/7.
Delhi’s record comprises of 4 wins and 7 defeats. They lost 2 home matches last week, going down to CSK by 8 wickets and then losing to KKR, also by 8 wickcets. The Capitals could only manage 142/8 against the Knight Riders (Nissanka 50) and only 14.2 overs were needed for the chase to be completed.
When the teams met in Delhi in Match 35 Punjab chased down DC’s 264/2 for a 6 wicket win. Big players for both sides (KL Rahul 152 not out for DC and Shreyas Iyer 71 not out for PK) stood out.
This is the first match hosted at Dharamsala and presumably a fresh deck which I’m hoping will see the to individual score come in at 76 runs or more
Bets: Match top run scorer total over 75.5 aat 9/10 with Lucky Fish
Tuesday 12th May Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad
Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
Match Result Betting: Gujarat Titans 23/20 Sunrisers Hyderabad 7/10
The Titans are on a roll, working their way up the standings on the back of 4 straight wins and overall they have now won 7 and lost 4. GT were in action away to the Royals last weekend and they came out on top by 77 runs. Shubman Gill hit 84 in their bat first total of 229/4 and Rashid Khan (4/33) and Jason Holder (3/12 in 2.3 overs) strangled the Rajasthan run chase.
The Sunrisers have also won 7 and lost 4 of their matches and they have a better net run rate than the Titans. Last time out they beat Punjab Kings by 33 runs in a home fixture last Wednesday. They posted 235/4 batting first with Klaasen (69) and Kishan (55) the top scorers and Pat Cummins with 2/34 was the pick of their bowlers as PK’s run chase was kept at bay.
This should be a decent contest and I’m with Pat Cummins to be the Sunrisers top bowler.
Bets: Sunrisers top wicket taker Pat Cummins at 3/1 with WSB

The Knight Riders continue to nudge their way up the standings and their overall record now comprises of 4 wins, 1 no result and 5 defeats.
