Tuesday 28th April Punjab Kings v Rajasthan Royals
Venue: Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, New Chandigarh
Match Result Betting: Punjab Kings 7/10 Royals 12/10
Punjab Kings have 6 wins and 1 no result against their name, they are the only unbeaten side in the tournament and they top the log. They pulled off a huge run chase in Delhi last time out with Arya (43) and Singh (76) putting on 126 for the first stick and Shreyas Iyer was unbeaten on 71 when they overhauled DC’s bat first total of 264/2 with 7 balls to spare. Aside from the abandoned game away to KKR the Kings have been foot perfect.
After starting with 4 straight wins the Royals lost momentum and after 8 matches they have a record of 5 wins and 3 defeats. They pulled off a 40 run win at Lucknow last week but couldn’t follow up against the Sunrisers in Jaipur last time out where their bat first total of 228/6 (Sooryavanshi 103) was overhauled with 9 balls remaining.
The Kings bandwagon rolls on and I’m not going to oppose them here but settle on a nibble at Arshdeep Singh to be the top bowler in the match.
Bets: Match top wicket taker Arshdeep Singh at 6.2/1 with WSB
Wednesday 29th April Mumbai Indians v Sunrisers Hyderabad
Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
Match Result Betting: Mumbai 9/10 Sunrisers 19/20
Mumbai have won 2 and lost 5 of their 7 matches so far. Their most recent outing came at this venue on Thursday last week when they hosted CSK, they found themselves chasing 210 for victory and the chase never materialized as they were bowled out for just 104. Since beating KKR here in their opening match MI’s only other win came in their penultimate outing away to the Titans.
The Sunrisers have played 8 matches and have 5 wins and 3 defeats against their name. After losing 3 of their first 4 matches they reeled off 3 impressive home wins with some huge scores and last time out they chased down the Royals bat first total of 228/6 with Hishan (74) and Abhishek Sharma (57) the top scorers.
A cracking contest awaits and I see the top individual score being 79 runs or more.
Bets: Top Runscorer total runs over 78.5 at 0.87/1 with WSB
Thursday 30th April Gujarat Titans v Royal Challengers
Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
Match Result Betting: Titans 5/4 RCB 13/20
The Titans have a record of 4 wins and 4 defeats from their first 8 matches. Last time out they thrashed CSK by 8 wickets in Chennai where Rabada took 3/23 to help restrict the hosts to 158/7 before Sudharsan smashed 87 in the chase and Gill and Buttler took the titans home. The Titans have played 3 matches at this venue, losing to the Royals by 6 runs, beating KKR by 5 wickets and losing to Mumbai by 99 runs and their scores have ranged from 100 all out to 204/8.
RCB thrashed the Capitals by 9 wickets in Delhi on Monday to make it 6 wins (alongside 2 defeats) from 8 matches. Hazlewood returned figures of 4/12 in his 3.3 overs and Kumar claimed 3 more as Delhi were skittled out for just 75. The chase was completed in 6.3 overs to keep RCB right up there towards the top of the standings. RCB recently completed a 5 wicket home win over the Titans with 81 from Kohli helping them chase down 206 for a 5 wicket victory.
Bets: Team with top bowler RCB at 15/20 with WSB
