All Cricket Tips w/c 19th Janaury

SA20 and Big Bash conclude this week. Internationally we have white ball cricket Afghan v West Indies, India v New Zealand and Sri Lanka v England.

All this week's cricket tips are most welcome here

Paarl Royals  v  Joburg Super Kings

Large fan of the Royals today. A win would mean my second outright makes the play offs. Going to run with the 4's line as it has only been made once this season with the other three matches going 20/16/16.


Match fours under 25.5  @  9/10

A few beers on the Zimbo who has matured like a fine red wine
MOM  Raza  @  12/1

The Capitals story this season has been Rutherford saving their skin. Their top order anonymous. And after being 7/5 in their previous match I will be shocked if they try and start flash tonight. 

Thus I'm lead to Capitals first 6 overs under 48.5 runs.

Sunrisers  v  Capitals

That time of the tournament when the boundary H2H's are all priced correctly. Wicket in Durban has been too dodgy for me to take a run at overs. Agree with Shaft on Rutherford and Maharaj is back home.

Just a few beers today

Pretoria Capitals

Top wicket taker  Maharaj  @  4/1
Top bat   Rutherford  @  13/2

Have to think the Royals have enough to progress tonight... Royals win @ 8/10

I was also on the Raj last night and was jumping up and down when he took his second stick off his last ball of his 4th over. I thought we had it in the bag. But alas the part timer steps up and produces something special...!

I hear the confidence on the Royals but to be honest their batting has not impressed me. If we are honest Pretorius has quite obviously sucked this season. They also haven't found a successful openining partner on the other side either. If Miller does indeed miss out today with injury it has to be up to either Ruben Hermann or Lawrence to go big with the willow. I would like to line up a decent strike in this regard but the issue with Paarl is that they rotate these two between the No3 spot mostly based on wanting a left-right combination at the wicket.

My alternative approach is to take Hermann to score the most sixes for Paarl at 5/1 with Pokerbet. Raza alo has hitting power but Hermann is more consistent and hit 3 big ones a week ago at the same venue. Sticking with this market I am all over Dian Forrester to keep the good times rolling. Flemming almost shat the bed by not sending him in earlier on Monday. Forrester, along with Leus, are the form batters for JSK at the moment and I will take the 13/2 that he hits the most sixes for the men in yellow.

Bowling wise I am not sure what to expect.
Worrell was on fire for JSK at the Wanderers less than a week ago and I'm presuming he only sat out due to JHB opting for more spin in Paarl. I will take the bigger price of 11/1 that he is the top overall bowler in the game.

And just like that Pretorius smacks a 50 and the Royals go LARGE to the tune of 200. 

Really solid calls Couch!😝

total six line tonight of 13.5, interested in it but only if there's some sort of pitch update, hopefully using a different strip to last one that was very tricky for batting.

Just two long shots for tonight.

De Kock player of the match @ 8/1

Lawrence match top six hitter @ 10/1

Sunrisers  v  Royals

Not sure what to expect from Sunrisers. Had a winning formula all season and then switched the batting line-up for the play offs. Stubbs to 4 and Breetzke to 7. Guy who really can get the scoreboard moving - Coles - is dropped from 5 to 8. Beetle also fell off cork when fielding. Lost six wickets when batting - all to spin - so gave Capitals four overs of pace to start. Any similar thinking today and the smart money should be on Royals.

Taking the 4's line today. Been made on all three completed matches, even the rubbish wicket one when the Capitals defended 143. On the basis that Sunrisers are going to cock it up will take Royals on the 6's. With Verreynne in for Miller Tribe dropped to 6th but he looked much better then Raza so expecting him to either open or bat 5. Attractive looking odds.


Match fours over 27.5  @  17/20

Most sixes  Royals  @  15/10

Royals top batsman   Tribe  @  10/1

 

Waited and line moved, but still taking the over 14.5 sixes @ evens in joburg. 

Wow Paarl are absolutely hopeless with the bat tonight. Wish I’d left the game alone. Will stick to the rugby this weekend. 

Guys I think Coles for POM in the final is great value 

He has had 2 POM's in just 6 starts and can swing a match with the bat and ball. 

This market is priced tight so in real terms probably not a crazy good price but def worth a play in my opinion 

Coles POM at 16/1 (WSB) 

Breetzke top Match Bat at 10/1
Seemed to get back to his best of late. Others charged with providing moment whilst he needs to bat deep.

SA T20 Final

Wicket at Newlands was not in great shape for two of the last three matches. Looked OK in the rain interrupted match but difficult to call in a 12 over match. Means I have to stay away from any overs punts. Going to back Brevis and Rutherford to win the sixes battle and a few beers on a player from each innings

Most match sixes  Capitals  @  19/20

Pretoria Capitals
Top wicket taker   Maharaj  @  13/4
Top batsman  Rutherford  @  11/2


Did join Brent a few days ago on Coles and covered stake plus 50% on my Sunrisers outright. Was thinking of leaving the outright but lost Medvedev earlier so don't want to come up empty on the day.

Hasn't been that much cricket at Newlands and pretty sure we will see a fresh wicket for this game.

I don't expect a 200 vs 200 contest but feel the team batting first will feel 180 is a must and the spinners to not get much assistance.

As such I'm adding Top Match Bowler - L Williams at 8/1
