The Indian Premier League is keeping the players on their toes and IPL betting at BetUS is keeping the punters honest with their predictions.
With just three points separating the top team from seventh place, the spoils have been shared evenly between everyone bar the Kolkata Knight Riders who are struggling in this tournament.
Today’s matches may look a difficult proposition however backing the favourites isn’t necessarily the best way to go because the outsiders in a parlay will more than triple your money at BetUS Sportsbook.
In match 33, the Bangalore Royal Challengers (+100) take on the resurgent Rajasthan Royals (-140).
When they met in the second match of this year’s tournament, fifth placed Bangalore (P8/W4/L4) came out on top in a match dominated by several individuals.
Set a paltry 133 to win, Rajasthan (P8/W4/L3/NR1), sitting in third place on run rate, were humbled by Anil Kumble who took 5/5 off 3.1 overs to help dismiss them for just 58.
Yusuf Pathan, Tyron Henderson and Ravindra Jadeja were the only batsmen to reach double figures (11) for Rajasthan while in their innings, captain Kevin Pietersen (32 off 30 balls) and Rahul Dravid (66 off 48 balls) were the only batsmen to fire for Bangalore.
Bangalore have lost Pietersen to national duties they still have the likes of South African duo Jacques Kallis and Mark Boucher, Dravid and Robin Uthappa in their line up and could provide that first upset win.
The closeness of the competition is no more typified than in match 34 of the tournament between Kings XI Punjab (+120) v Chennai Super Kings (-160).
Neither has come up against each other this tournament however statistically the two teams appear to be at polar opposites of the competition but in reality they are as close as you can get.
Punjab (P8/W4/L4) is in sixth place on eight points while Chennai (P8/W4/L3/NR1) is in second spot on nine points with a superior run rate over Rajasthan.
The only thing separating the two teams on the competition table at least is Chennai’s no-result wash out against Kolkata on April 25, a game they would have certainly won considering Kolkata’s horrible run this tournament.
Punjab lost their last match to Rajasthan however they were chasing 212 to win at more than 10 runs an over, an imposing figure in Twenty20 cricket.
It could have been a case of the Punjab bowlers being loose but it appears the experiment of opening the bowling with off-spinner Ramesh Powar failed to work as it had done earlier in the tournament while the left-arm pace of South African Yusuf Abdulla (0/44) was expensive going at 14.67 an over.
It may be time for Punjab to scrap that plan and go back to medium pace or flat out quicks to take early wickets at the start of the innings.
Chennai on the other hand humbled Deccan Chargers in their last match of the tournament thanks to some brutish batting from captain MS Dhoni (58no off 37 balls), Matthew Hayden (43 off 26 balls) and Suresh Raina (32 off 19) before Sudeep Tyagi and Albie Morkel destroyed Deccan with the ball.
If Chennai get away to another flyer they will be no match for Punjab but the Kings XI have the ability to give punters that second upset victory for their parlay bet.
