ABOUT THE MATCH The teams placed at the bottom of the table are finally winning some matches and that is sure to make for an intriguing finish to this season. One of the teams that has absolutely no more room for any error is the Mumbai Indians. Cricket Betting Tips Free Just three wins from their nine matches has put them in a position from where they need to every one of their remaining matches. It sounds difficult but it has been done before. Winning at home was something that the Mumbai Indians took for granted in previous years and that is exactly what they will need to do again to stand a chance of qualifying. Their opponents for this match are the Kolkata Knight Riders, a team that is sitting comfortably in the top half of the table. KKR has really started to peak at the right time and could be a potential finalist if things go their way. Cricket Betting Tips They have the players to travel to Mumbai and beat the Mumbai Indians but know that the challenge cannot be underestimated. MATCH PREVIEW MUMBAI INDIANS Rohit Sharma and his team won their last match and are going to be coming into this contest full of confidence. Free Betting Tips They overcame a strong CSK team and seemed to have to got their playing combination just right. Their tactics in the match, though, left a lot to be desired and we have a feeling these will be shown up sooner rather than later. It is beyond our understanding how players of the calibre of Rohit Sharma and JP Duminy can be shunted down to number 5 and number 7 position respectively. Cricket Tips Free The idea might be to add some depth to the batting and have experienced players in the dugout to help navigate the chase but it just means that the best players play next to no role in most of the matches. This cannot be the way that the Mumbai Indians try to win all their remaining matches. Mohit Sharma must move up the number three and be followed by JP Duminy at 4. Cbtf Betting Tips This still leaves the Panda brothers, Ishan Kishan, and Ben Cutting to follow in case some early wickets fall. Surely the team has enough confidence in this stacked batting lineup to be able to play their way out of any situation. Cricket Tips If all of these players are not going be enough then reshuffling the batting order is not going to do them any good. Mumbai is a venue where teams can find it very tough to know how many runs are enough batting first. If the Mumbai Indians end up having to bat first against KKR then they must ensure that they leave nothing in the bank and score as many runs as possible. Mumbai’s bowling has plenty of variety and depth in it as well. The form of Jasprit Bumrah is a plus and Mayank Markande has shown himself to be a very capable spinner as well. Mitchell McClenaghan, Ben Cutting, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, and JP Duminy are all capable of bowling their overs of required. Perhaps the biggest problem for Rohit Sharma will be to ensure he is giving adequate opportunities to each bowler. KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS
KKR played a near flawless match against CSK to chase down a stiff target with plenty of overs to spare. Mitchell Johnson had a tough game for KKR and might be replaced by Tom Curran but we would stick with the old warhorse for this match. Mitchell Johnson has a lot of experience playing in Mumbai and can utilize the extra bounce that the pitch offers. He would love to come back to his old franchise and leave a mark but whether he gets an opportunity to do so remains to be seen. Apart from Johnson, though, all the other KKR players had a night to remember. KKR’s bowling attack is going to be severely tested on a flat Mumbai wicket. Piyush Chawla, Shivam Mavi, and Kuldeep Yadav could all travel at this ground and so the onus has to be on the senior bowlers for this match. Sunil Narine and Andre Russell are the two bowlers that we think could be the toughest for the Mumbai Indians to face. Cricket Betting Tips Narine has been having a good IPL and showed that he can still put the brake on the scoring very effectively in the last match. Andre Russell has the ability to generate excellent pace and utilizes the short ball well. It can backfire on an off day but could also bring some wickets if he has a little luck. If KKR can gets its bowling to fire then we have no doubt that their batsmen will be able to match Mumbai’s batting strength. Chris Lynn is our guy to watch for this match. He is coming into this match in good form and likes the ball coming on to the bat. McClenaghan, Bumrah, and Hardik Pandya might be the perfect pace for him to tee off but he will most likely be faced with spin early on. Robin Uthappa, Shuibman Gill, Dinesh Karthik, and Andre Russell all make for a fearsome batting lineup. Gill’s promotion to number four was very good and allowed the youngster to play his normal game. We would ideally have Gill open the inning with Lynn but the team management seems content to let Narine go up the order and swig his bat around. KKR will be aware that playing Mumbai at their home ground is not easy, especially now that the Mumbai Indians have no option but to come hard at them. Cricket Betting Tips Free They do have the ammunition to withstand the onslaught, though. www.cricketbettingtipsfree.net ABOUT THE MATCH The Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Mumbai Indians have both had a poor IPL season this year and find themselves in a position where they cannot afford to lose more than a couple of matches. Cricket Betting Tips Free Fans of both teams will know that their teams have been here in the past and been able to turn things around but it is obviously not going to happen every single time. RCB lost its last match against KKR and continued to struggle in the bowling and fielding department while Mumbai Indians recorded a very impressive victory against the Chennai Super Kings and will come into this match full of confidence. One thing is certain, though. Cricket Betting Tips The tournament is going to be all but over for one team after this match has been completed. MATCH PREVIEW ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE A struggling RCB unit was forced to take the field without AB de Villiers in their last match and Virat Kohli would be desperate to have his best player back for this next match. Free Betting Tips Brendon McCullum made a comeback into the eleven but did not have too much of an impact. It is difficult for a player like Brendon McCullum to be expected to perform after being on the bench for so long but that is the format of this tournament. Cricket Tips Now, with de Villiers hopefully making a comeback, McCullum might just find himself out of the team once again. The surface in Bengaluru has not been the kind that Virat Kohli would prefer but that is something out of his control. At the moment, it appears that ensuring Kohli and de Villiers play the maximum amount of deliveries in every match is the only way that RCB will find itself in a position to push for a win. Cbtf Betting Tips The role of Quinton de Kock at the top of the order is also something that will come under scrutiny. He has now spent a lot of time in the middle but is not being able to get the blazing starts that he is so famous for. Maybe picking McCullum over Colin de Grandhomme could also be an option since going hard in the latter overs is currently seeming very difficult. To be honest, though, the batting is not a concern for RCB at the moment. Online Cricket Betting Virat Kohli said that he thought his team was 10 runs over par in the last match and then failed to defend it once again. RCB is being let down by its bowling in every single match and that is a problem to which they have no easy answers. Cricket Baazigar Tim Southee has been expensive, Umesh Yadav veers from being sublime to the ridiculous, and Mohammad Siraj clearly has a long way to go before being considered the finished article. Only Yuzvendra Chahal has been consistent. On a surface where appreciable spin is fast becoming a characteristic, not having two or even three world quality spinners is appearing to be a major strategic error that RCB is paying for. RCB will need its bowlers to step up against a power Mumbai Indians lineup otherwise their matches will continue to follow the same path in most matches. MUMBAI INDIANS
Two massive innings from Rohit Sharma has equated to two victories for the Mumbai Indians so far. Is that a coincidence? We don’t think so. The Mumbai Indians got a lot of things right in their last match and we think they may have finally hit on their best playing eleven and batting order. Evin Lewis and Suryakumar Yadav have earned a prolonged run at the top of the order. Match Betting Tips They have both scored plenty of runs and have excellent strike rates. The move to push Rohit Sharma to 3, though, is a very good decision. Rohit Sharma has the rare talent to score big runs in all formats of the game but needs a little bit of time to settle down. Session Betting Tips By coming in at 3, not only will Rohit Sharma give himself the time but he will also be able to control the pace of the inning after getting set. Equally importantly, Mumbai Indians finally dropped Kieron Pollard from the team and got in JP Duminy. The South African is in excellent form, can bat anywhere in the lineup and is also a handy off-spinner. If the pitch in Bangalore takes turn as it has been then Duminy becomes a very important player in the bowling unit as well. The other major change that Mumbai Indians made was to drop Mustafizur Rahman in favor of Ben Cutting. Lambi Pari Tips We are huge fans of Cutting and believes he is an extremely underrated lower order hitter. His bowling has not been as good as he would like it to be but that could change going forward. His selection for the match in Bengaluru is far from certain, though. Mustafizur Rahman and his unique brand of fast cutters and slower deliveries could be very difficult to hit at the Chinnaswamy and so we don’t think playing him would be a mistake. Mumbai Indians were one of the pre-tournament favorites because of their seemingly perfectly balanced team. Cricket Betting Tips They now seem to have figured out the right mix of players to bank on going forward and we are definitely backing their fortunes to improve dramatically in this edition of the IPL. One of the head to head contests that we will be watching out for will be Krunal Pandya against AB de Villiers. The elder Pandya sibling has dismissed de Villiers in every match that he has had the opportunity to bowl at him. De Villiers will know this and come hard at him. Cricket Betting Tips Free This could be one of the key events that determine the outcome of the match. Also, young Mayank Markande from Mumbai has been having an excellent IPL so far. How he goes on a helpful wicket with small boundaries with a senior Indian spinner in the opposition will also be very interesting to watch www.cricketbettingtipsfree.net ABOUT THE MATCH The IPL table is extremely packed right now and every team is just a couple of matches away from making a move towards the top. Cricket Betting Tips This is exactly what RCB fans would be hoping for as their team continues to find ways to lose from strong positions. Their opponent in this match is a KKR unit that has hit a stumbling block after a good start to the tournament. Losses to the Kings XI Punjab, when the rain did not do them any favors, and the Delhi Daredevils, where they put in a poor performance has left them in a position from where they could slide down the table very quickly. Every match is important at this stage in the IPL and this one is no different. Free Cricket Betting Tips The team that handles the pressure better will come out tops. MATCH PREVIEW ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE The Royal Challengers Bangalore team would have been devastated at losing their last match after scoring over 200 runs. Free Cricket Tips It is, unfortunately, a story which has repeated itself this season as RCB is still struggling to put together a good bowling unit. Runs from Quinton de Kock, AB de Villiers, and Mandeep Singh are a positive sign moving forward. Even Virat Kohli got a good start and it just looks like a matter of time before he gets into the act as well. What is the solution to their bowling woes, though? Apart from Yuzvendra Chahal and Umesh Yadav, no other bowler has looked like being a threat to the opposition.Match Tips Free Even containing runs seems like an uphill task for Corey Anderson, Pawan Negi, and Mohammad Siraj. Washington Sundar had an off-day but there is plenty to suggest that his all-around skills could be better utilized by his team. Some amount of blame for RCb’s poor predicament has to go the captaincy of Virat Kohli as well. He has made poor choices and has persisted with bowlers that are being carted around instead of giving someone else a chance. Colin de Grandhomme was a spectator in the last match even though he is a more than handy international level bowler. Online Cricket Betting Surely an over to give him a try was worth it when everyone else seemed to be traveling the distance. The obsession with Pawan Negi also is just not understandable to us at the moment. Neither his batting nor his bowling looks to be the caliber worthy of this competition. Cricket Free Betting Tips RCB must look at its bench strength and find some way to put up a better-balanced bowling attack. Thankfully for the fans, the RCB batting is a treat to watch at the moment. AB de Villiers is in phenomenal form and playing some truly outrageous shots. Cbtf Betting If there was one criticism of him then that would be to ask for even longer innings with bigger runs. It looks clear that RCB must find a way for its batsmen to compensate for its bowling. Maybe chasing is the way to go in future matches but then the toss is not always a certainty either. Cricket Baazigar Luckily, RCB’s batting might will be up against a bowling attack that will be low on confidence after the mauling they received in Delhi. KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS
Some very clear weaknesses seem to be emerging in the KKR setup and every team around the league would have taken note. IPL Betting Tips KKR’s biggest weapon this season was supposed to be Chris Lynn. The six hitting machine has been very subdued and found it difficult to get going on slower Indian pitches as compared to the ones he gets back home in Australia. His best chance of success would be on a flat Chinnaswamy wicket on a stadium with small boundaries and the worst bowling attack in this edition of the IPL. Robin Uthappa, Nitish Rana, Dinesh Karthik, and Andre Russell form a very dangerous middle order for KKR. Online Betting On IPL In fact, Russells form with the bat has been so good that he is able to compensate for a lot of the other player's shortcomings. We cannot understand why KKR insists on opening with Sunil Narine. He is a flash in the pan and has now been found out by opposition teams. Instead, they have a class player in Shubman Gill who could very well open the inning and possibly do a better job than Narine. Backing youngsters is something that KKR did in the auction but they are unable to give them the opportunities when it comes to the match. Cricket Betting Tips Free KKR’s bowling attack is pretty spin heavy and they would be hoping that the pitch in Bangalore plays similar to what it did in the last match. There was plenty of spin on offer in that match and it was the medium pacers that traveled. With Piyush Chawla, Sunil Narine, and Kuldeep Yadav in their playing eleven, KKR could give RCB a tough time. The biggest test for the spinners will be to cope with AB de Villiers and his variety of sweeps that he seems to play with the utmost ease. KKR has hit a stumbling block in their campaign and a loss to RCB could be very expensive for them in the latter stages of the tournament. Cricket Betting Tips They do, however, have the players to be able to turn this around pretty quickly. We would make a few changes to the batting order, give Andre Russell some more time in the middle, and hope that Chris Lynn plays one of those innings that he is so famous for. Everything else will fall into place by itself. www.cricketbettingtipsfree.net ABOUT THE MATCH Another year. Another set of players, yet Rajasthan Royals are progressing very much like they are known to be. After almost half of the IPL done, Rajasthan Royals are hanging in the middle of the points table. Cricket Betting Tips Free The players of little or no International experience like K Gowtham and Jofra Archer have found success which is a lot similar to RR of the past. Another team which has carried its culture from previous seasons is Sunrisers Hyderabad. SRH have been known for their superb bowling capable of defending any totals. In this season too, where defending has been next to impossible, we have witnessed SRH defend the small totals twice. Sunrisers Hyderabad will now move to Jaipur where Rajasthan Royals are to host the 27th match of the season to be played on 29th April 2017. Cricket Betting Tips This match carries a lot of importance for both the teams and a just like most of this IPL has been, a thrilling contest is certainly on the cards. MATCH PREVIEW RAJASTHAN ROYALS This IPL has been the closest IPL in the history of the tournament and Rajasthan Royals shocked Mumbai Indians in their last match in a topsy-turvy game. Cricket Tips Free The double Rs are coming after a long break of almost a week and that should help them start afresh. The Royals still haven't found a combination at the top of the order with D'Arcy Short, Heinrich Klassen, and Rahul Tripathi all struggling for form. Rahul Tripathi opened the innings in the previous match, but he failed to convert his start to a considerable knock and Klassen edged one to the slip and departed without troubling the scorers. Although Ben Stokes played a useful 40-run hand, it would be fair to say that his consistency hasn't been on par with what he's been capable of. Free Betting Tips Sanju Samson has been the pick of their batsmen and he scored 52 runs from 39 deliveries. He's moved out of the top five scorers of the tournament, but another good knock will place him right at the top again. He is just 44 runs shy of Ambati Rayudu's tally of 283. Prior to their previous game, their bowling department was leaking too many runs during the death overs. Such could be the impact of one man that the arrival of Jofra Archer into the playing eleven plugged the flow of runs and picked up three crucial wickets. Cbtf Cricket Tips Shreyas Gopal has been excellent during the middle overs. Kulkarni impressed in the last game with his accurate bowling, but Stokes and Unadkat failed to make any remarkable contribution with the ball. The Royals have had struggled to find a good batting combination and we might just see D'Arcy Short coming back into the playing eleven. Cbtf Their bowling looks a lot balanced with Jofra Archer in the mix. While they have a strong and balanced team, some poor decision making has cost them a couple of matches. They have a strong on top and if they can sort their issues at the top, they can make things difficult for any team in the tournament. SUNRISERS HYDERABAD
We are halfway into the tournament and Sunrisers Hyderabad are sitting pretty in the top half of the points table. Cricket Baazigar While it was expected considering the balance their team has, the void created by David Warner's absence is filled not by any of their batsmen, but by their bowlers. While their batsmen have failed to fire, their bowlers have covered it better than anyone expected and that too despite Bhuvneshwar missing two matches. Their batsmen have scored at an average of 7.66 an over, which is worst for any team in this season. On the other hand, their bowlers have conceded just 7.17 runs an over, which is the best in this IPL. Match Betting Tips Their batting hasn't even been remotely close to what it was last year and with Dhawan struggling to find form after injury, they might well bring Hales in for Nabi. Whether it's been about marshaling the troops or about taking the responsibility with the bat, Kane Williamson has done brilliantly. Williamson is third in batting charts of this season. Bowlers have responded brilliantly to him with Sidharth Kaul and Rashid Sharma being the top two wicket-takers of the tournament. Cricket Betting Tips Free Remarkably, Basil Thampi and Sandeep Sharma are the leading the best economy rate chart. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is expected to walk back into the team and it would be interesting to see who among Thampi and Sharma makes way for him. Powerplay batting has been a cause of concern for the Sunrisers as they've scored at a run rate of 7.79 runs per over with the only RR behind them. Cricket Betting Tips The latter has scored at the rate of 7.69 runs an over. They may strengthen their batting by bringing in Alex Hales and considering the way their bowlers have bowled so far, Sunrisers will be a force to reckon with in the upcoming matches as well. www.cricketbettingtipsfree.net ABOUT THE MATCH Is there a team that has played in more heart-stopping matches than the Chennai Super Kings? Not in this edition of the IPL for sure! CSK managed to pull off another last over heist against the Royal Challengers Bangalore in their last match and will now face up to the Mumbai Indians. Cricket Betting Tips Free Of course, Mumbai Indians will come in a close second when it comes to playing nail-biters in this season. Unfortunately for the Mumbai Indians, they always seem to come out second best in such encounters. Free Cricket Betting Tips Can Mumbai finally recover from the prolonged slump that is haunting them and manage to one-up Chennai? Or will CSK continue its winning habit? MATCH PREVIEW CHENNAI SUPER KINGS It is unfortunate that the most passionate fans in this league will not get to watch their team play at home but this is how things pan out in Indian cricket. Cbtf Betting Tips CSK has shifted to Pune for this season and will play all its home matches there. On the evidence of the first match that they played there, though, the Chennai Super Kings has acclimatized quite well. Cricket Tips Free The pitch at Pune turned out to be an absolute belter and CSK’s strong batting lineup made merry. It is this strong batting lineup that will be in sharp focus for this match. CSK returned to Rayadu and Watson for the opening slot and it looks like Faf du Plessis will be cooling his heels in the dugout for quite some time. Both the openers have been in brilliant form and the short boundaries at the Pune stadium will beckon them once again. Raina at number 3 has looked far from his best and has struggled to come to terms with the short-pitched bowling he is now inevitably bombarded with. Cricket Betting Tips Dhoni will continue to persist with him, though, and hope that his form improves soon. It is the middle order that has made all the difference for CSK in close matches. MS Dhoni is in vintage form and bringing back memories of his best. Match Betting Tips Sam Billings is an excellent player of spin and provides real value in the middle as well. That leaves Dwayne Bravo to come in and do what he knows best at the end of the inning. If there is something amiss in this middle order then it is the presence of Ravindra Jadeja. Free Betting Tips The all-rounder is struggling to justify his place in the team and it looks highly unlikely that his batting is going to be the thing that turns his season around. The bowling lineup of Shardul Thakur, Imran Tahir, Deepak Chahar, Dwayne Bravo, and Karan Sharma is very good on some days and really expensive on others. Cricket Tips It is no coincidence that CSK has had to chase huge totals often in this tournament. MS Dhoni knows that winning such matches is not an easy task and he would love for his bowlers to improve their economy rates in the upcoming games. A misfiring Mumbai Indians lineup could well give his bowling lineup the opportunity to do that. MUMBAI INDIANS
The Mumbai Indians started the tournament as pre-tournament favorites. Match Tips They had explosive batsmen in their lineup, all-rounders that could hold their own in both disciplines, and death bowlers that are regarded as the best at what they do in the world. After six matches, the Mumbai Indians have lost fiver and is sitting second from the bottom of the table. So, what went wrong? We think the Mumbai Indians have actually not played as bad a level of cricket as their numbers suggest. Four out of their five losses have come in very closely contested games that could have easily gone in their favor as well. Online Cricket Betting The problem for Mumbai Indians has been that they have played well without winning and they are bound to go through a loss of form in a long tournament like the IPL as well. Their last loss to the Sunrisers Hyderabad had to be the low-point of their season as they failed to chase down 114. Surely, it is time to make a few changes in the team. The one change that we absolutely believe will be made is to bring in JP Duminy in place of the struggling Kieron Pollard. Cricket Baazigar Tips Duminy has been in excellent form in the PSL and can beef up the Mumbai Indians batting while providing another spin option as well if needed. Ben Cutting got a few games but was shunted out of the team and he too could get a look-in. Maybe Mustafizur Rahman or Mitchell McClenaghan can make way for Cutting who will boost the lower order hitting ability and is an excellent bowler as well. Mumbai’s bowling has been off the mark under pressure. Bumrah has been bowling one or two bad overs in each while Mustafizur Rahman has cracked under the pressure multiple times. Cbtf Cricket Markande and the Pandya brothers have been the best bowlers for Mumbai by far. The batsmen for Mumbai has been scoring runs and should enjoy the conditions in Pune. Evin Lewis, Suryakumar Yadav, and Ishan Kishan have all played impressive innings. Jsk Betting Tips These three are good players but one of them must make way for Rohit Sharma because he is too important a player to be wasted down the order. Rohit Sharma has played one inning of note and won the Mumbai Indians that match. He can also give himself a few more deliveries by coming up the order. Mumbai Indians are running out of time to turn their season around and they need the best of Rohit Sharma to come to the fore. Mumbai Indians are up against a red-hot team at the moment but it is a side filled with match winners as well. To count them out is going to be foolhardy. www.cricketbettingtipsfree.net Preview by www.cricketbettingtipsfree.net The men and women at the Royal Challengers Bangalore can be forgiven for casting a longing glance at their next opposition. Cricket Betting Tips Free After all, Chennai Super Kings have typified the sort of success that the Bengaluru-based franchise have craved through their decade of disappointment. Cricket Betting Tips The RCB fan base remains defiant and vociferous, but its CSK counterpart - ever-vibrant, ever-loyal - knows exactly what the ultimate gratification for undying support feels like. Mumbai Indians emerged as the flag-bearers of the first decade of IPL courtesy their third title in 2017, but CSK remain the 'most consistent' team - making six finals out of eight, winning two and even pocking a couple of titles at the now-defunct Champions League T20. As the teams square off for the first time since 2015, the gulf between the two is quite telling. CSK enjoy a 12-7 head-to-head advantage in 20 meetings, and are unbeaten in the last four encounters between the two. Match Betting Tips They've also nullified RCB's home ground advantage - if there's such a thing in cricket - with a 3-3 tally in seven outings. To add to it, RCB had to be content being second-best after running into CSK in the 2011 IPL final, and have won just one of the four tussles in the knockout and playoff rounds.
Dhoni & Co. have also made a rollicking - and rather unexpected - start to their 2018 campaign, peeling off nail-biting wins to take eight points of the available 10. Cbtf Tips The same cannot be said about Virat Kohli's men, who're yet to put on a complete performance that demonstrates an applaudable synchronisation between their batting and bowling output. Saturday's win over DD helped in distancing themselves from the bottom of the table, but they're still a long way from showing signs of being a top-four candidate. CSK's possession of multiple game-turners with the bat puts the daylight between the two teams. Each CSK fixture has seen a different batsman put their hand up in times of crisis, something RCB seem to lack. Despite Mandeep Singh's promising form in the middle, and his insistence that there is more to RCB's batting beyond Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, there's very little evidence to suggest the same. Cricket Tips Free Kohli already has 200-plus runs, and de Villiers has been the central figure of RCB's two victories so far. De Villiers himself has defended his side and rubbished that notion, but there's a lot of work that the rest need to put in to justify it. In two big chases - against Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians - RCB fell short because none of the batsmen could support Kohli. Free Betting Tips Against MI in particular, the skipper carried his bat with a 62-ball 92 in vain as the second-best score was Quinton de Kock's 19. The bowling departments of both sides have been plagued by similar ills - lack of control in the death overs. Online Betting On Cricket They have conceded totals of 200 and above [once by CSK, twice by RCB] and are in need of addressing that issue at the earliest. Wednesday's fixture could be a good starting point for that endeavour for both teams, before they head into a period when the jostle for a spot in the top-half will intensify. When: April 25, at 8 PM IST Where: M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru What to expect: A cloudy evening, with thunderstorms earlier in the day. Cricket Baazigar The weather forecast for Wednesday is very similar to what it was last Saturday, when RCB hosted DD. It is likely to be another slow wicket to bat first on, with dew assisting run-making in the second. Toss, as always, will be of paramount importance. Team news Royal Challengers Bangalore: Moeen Ali and Parthiv Patel batted for long hours in the nets two days ahead of the fixture, but that's been the case since they've joined up with RCB. It is unlikely that Virat Kohli & co. will make changes to a winning side. Probable XI: Quinton de Kock, Manan Vohra, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Corey Anderson, Mandeep Singh, Washington Sundar, Chris Woakes, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal Chennai Super Kings: Head coach Stephen Fleming confirmed that Imran Tahir is fit again, and hinted at using two leg-spinners for the game. Cricket Match Betting Tips That means Tahir could return in place of either Faf du Plessis or Sam Billings. If the former is retained, then Ambati Rayudu will continue to hold a middle-order role, else he might be required to open the batting with Shane Watson again. Fleming also talked about playing a third spinner in Harbhajan in order to tie down left-handers, but it might be a stretch for CSK to go with three spinners, in spite of the slowness of the track. If RCB go unchanged, they'll have three left-handers in the line-up - Quinton de Kock, Corey Anderson and Washington Sundar, but with two of the most important players being right-handed, CSK are likely to stick with Karn to partner Tahir. Probable XI: Shane Watson, Ambati Rayudu, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni, Sam Billings/Faf du Plessis, Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Deepak Chahar, Karn Sharma/Harbhajan Singh, Imran Tahir, Shardul Thakur Interesting face-offs Kohli vs CSK: 19 innings; 706 runs; Avg 44.13; SR 126.98; 6 X 50s; HS 73 - most by a player vs CSK in IPL, 156 more than the next best Dhoni vs RCB: 22 innings; 608 runs; Avg 32.00; SR 135.71; 2 X 50s; HS 70* - most runs for him vs an opponent in IPL Raina vs Chahal: Chahal has dismissed Raina four times on 57 balls. Raina has scored 79 runs off Chahal at a SR of 138.60. Approaching milestones Virat Kohli will be leading in his 100th match in the T20 format. He is the eighth player overall and the third Indian after MS Dhoni (244) and Gautam Gambhir (170). Venue trends Chinnaswamy Stadium has been the most batsman friendly venue this season (min. two games) with a scoring rate of 9.24 per over. Pacers concede at 9.72 per over while the spinners have done far better at 7.62. IPL 2018 trends CSK and RCB have been two of the best batting sides in the death overs this IPL - CSK scoring at 12.12 and RCB at 11.24. However, the same two sides concede the most with the ball in the last five overs - RCB at 12.87 and CSK at 10.89. What they said: "I know CSK have fans all over the country, and I believe they have a fair amount of support here in Bengaluru. But it will definitely be a home game for us. Cricket Betting Tips The crowd gets behind us when we get some momentum going. It's matter of playing well tomorrow and I feel the crowd will lift us a lot." - AB de Villiers on getting the home crowd backing. "It is a special match, given the proximity of the two cities. Cricket Betting Tips Free There is a lot of interest, a lot of emotion and we have always enjoyed the encounters and have seen some great ones over the years. I don't think tomorrow will be any different." - Stephen Fleming on what to expect from the RCB-CSK clash. www.cricketbettingtipsfree.net Preview by www.cricketbettingtipsfree.net This April, apart from access to fresh Alphonso mangoes, there has been very little good that has come Mumbai Indians' way. Three last ball/wicket defeats later, the morale isn't as good as they would've liked. Kieron Pollard makes his own desperate request to the scribes, "If you guys have any idea to tell us how to get over the line... Free Betting Tips if it happens again, give us an idea of what to do." With one week gone and no victories to boot, it has reached a point where he can no longer go on the chants of 'processes' and 'learning'.
But such has been the manner of the defeats that it has given Mumbai Indians some hope to cuddle with. And that hope is what keeps them going. Cricket Betting Tips Free Or as Pollard adds, "If we were down right now, we should be home." The thing is every player who has featured in all the three games has made a handy contribution with the bat, ball or in the field at some point in the tournament. Cricket Betting Tips Skipper Rohit Sharma has been a sole exception in that regard. And unless he gets firing quickly, it will be difficult for him to inspire his side in this flood of close losses. The good thing for them, however, is that they are up against Royal Challengers Bangalore, who even in their 11th season are trying to figure out what is going wrong with them. Cricket Tips Free Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers have scored fifties, Quinton de Kock is in good form, so are the spinners, and the pacers have chipped in too. Match Betting Tips Free Yet, there are holes that are opening up time and again. Their perpetual state of underachieving seems to have become a dear comforter, a part of their travel kit, a brand of their cricket, something which (doesn't) gets them going. It has been a contrastingly different tale for the opposite captains. Just as Rohit Sharma has seen more IPL success than anyone else, Virat Kohli has seen none.In 10 years, the trophy has teasingly evaded him. Cricket Tips But such is the strength of their current squad that on paper they can replace seven to eight of their regulars and still have as good a XI featuring for them. There is no dearth of individual reputation, something that RCB has rarely faced - spare the horrors of their first season picks - but like always, they have come up below par as a collective unit. It has been a busy week for the two sides. A day ahead of the game, Mumbai Indians gave their fringe players considerable time in the nets and RCB decided to take rest. Betting Tips Free Maintaining the fatigue level will be the key and to ensure that undesired results don't wear them out mentally. Both would desperately need a win on Tuesday to get going. When: April 17, 2018 at 8pm IST Where: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai What to expect: Temperature should be around 35 degrees Celsius. Free Cricket Betting Tips There should be a bit of breeze early on in the match. Mumbai Indians Likely XI: Suryakumar Yadav, Evin Lewis, Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, Mitchell McClenaghan, Mayank Markande, Jasprit Bumrah, Mustafizur Rahman Royal Challengers Bangalore Likely XI: Quinton de Kock, Parthiv Patel, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Mandeep Singh, Corey Anderson/Colin de Grandhomme, Washington Sundar, Chris Woakes, Umesh Yadav, Kulwant Khejroliya, Yuzvendra Chahal Head to Head of teams MI 13 - 8 RCB Team Record at that Wankhede MI 4 - 3 RCB Interesting face-offs AB de Villiers vs Krunal Pandya: AB has been dismissed by Krunal in all the four innings he played against him. He has managed to score 33 runs off 34 balls from Krunal. Kohli vs McClenaghan: McClenaghan has managed to get the better of Kohli on four instances in six exchanges including last three times on the trot. Online Cricket Betting Kohli managed to score only 19 runs off 29 balls from the lefr-arm seamer. Pollard vs Chahal: Pollard has managed to score 45 runs off Chahal at a strike rate of 150 but has been dismissed by the tweaker thrice in 30 balls. Pollard has enjoyed playing against RCB scoring 450 runs - the most for him against an opponent (SR 166.67). Approaching milestones Virat Kohli needs 49 more runs to become the first player to score 5000 runs for a team in 20-overs cricket. He has 4951 runs from 158 innings for RCB at 37.50 (SR 131.53). Umesh Yadav needs four more wickets to become the fifth Indian pacer to take 100 wickets in IPL. He doesn't have a good record against MI, having taken only eight wickets from 11 games. Venue trends MI has won four of the five head to contests between the two sides at the Wankhede since 2013. RCB's 235/1 in 2015 is the highest total at the Wankhede in all T20 cricket. Socially, culturally or even otherwise, the rivalry between Mumbai and Delhi has existed for as long as the two cities have taken self-proclaimed bragging rights of being the trend-setters of modern India. Even in cricket, the two traditional power centres of the game have differed on what cricket is and how it should be played. Free Betting Tips And yet, for some reason, that rivalry has not figured so heavily in the IPL. It has been as much because of the absence of local players, organic approaches and ethos of their games as it has been because of Delhi Daredevils' inability to match up to Mumbai Indians' standard of cricket. Cricket Free Tips Victory or defeat over each other has been merely with context of the tournament, sans any city rivalry This season, in Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir, Mumbai and Delhi are the only two sides to be led by their local players. Cricket Betting Tips And both of them, mighty successful as captains in the tournament, bring in with them shades of the authentic nature of their local cricket. Gambhir gets Delhi's aggression while Rohit carries along the never-say-die attitude of Mumbai cricket to his captaincy. And the teams that they have led to victory in the past have shown similar traits as well.
While for Rohit there is a side with a similar set of players and plans to work with, Gambhir has been offered a fresh challenge with a new bunch of players and support staff. Cricket Betting Tips Free For all the disparity that lies between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Daredevils so far, the rivalry promises to be cut down this season, with 'promise' being the keyword. Because when the two franchises got up after the end of business at the auction table earlier this year, both the parties would have been mightily satisfied with their work of having assembled a squad which 'promised' to be strong contenders for the title. Match Betting Tips Free Yet, in just a week of the season's start, they meet each other as deflated units - the only two to have lost both their games so far, shedding their layered egos and sitting quietly at the bottom of the table. Free Cricket Betting Tips It isn't an unfamiliar position for either of the teams. Yet while for Mumbai Indians, this can still be a space of cozy comfort, for Delhi Daredevils, it brings up worrying memories of the past. Delhi Daredevils have looked rusty thus far. Yet neither of their losses speak for their far-from-best game. While they were undone by KL Rahul's assault in the first match, they would've felt slightly unfortunate by the abrupt nature of their previous game, where rain break left them with a target of 71 in 6 overs on a sluggish pitch. Online Cricket Betting On a player-by-player role, while Gambhir looked good in his only outing, none of the power-hitters, who remain the core of their explosive threat, have hit form. Rahul Tewatia's stingy bowling has been a massive plus and he could be the sole frontline spinner they might play in Saturday's clash. Colin Munro's issues against spin has been exposed early in the tournament and it would be interesting to see if they will continue persisting with the hard-hitting New Zealander. Match Betting The conditions at Wankhede should be ideal for his batting but it could also be a time for Mumbai Indians to sneak in a few overs from their spinners up early. Cricket Betting They could toy with the option of giving Jason Roy a game and also play one of the domestic pacers - Avesh Khan or Harshal Patel. Liam Plunkett's inclusion can make their team a lot more dynamic as well. For Mumbai Indians, it has been a case of so-near-yet-so-far till now. Against Chennai Super Kings, they lost a game they should have won and then against Sunrisers Hyderabad, they brought a game they should have lost much earlier to the last ball. While the first game shredded the reputation of their death-over specialists, the second one gave a more honest reflection of their abilities. Cricket Tips And there lies the mirror for them. An in-form Jasprit Bumrah makes Mumbai Indians a different side altogether. His inconsistency thus far has reflected in the way matches have panned out for Mumbai. Cbtf Cricket Nonetheless, even in defeats, Mumbai Indians played a couple of very close contests and should go in without any change, unless Hardik Pandya recovers for Saturday's encounter. What adds an interesting twist to the contest is the swap of Mumbai Indians and Delhi Daredevils' multiple-season coaches - TA Sekar and Ricky Ponting. How crucial will be their added word of advice in opposite dugouts? What: Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Daredevils, Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai When: April 14, 2018, Saturday What to expect: Mumbai isn't known for April rains and the weather predictions side by that. Among the perks of having full 40 overs is that at least one team will get off the mark in the tournament Team News: Mumbai Indians: Hardik Pandya is recovering well and is expected to return for Saturday's clash. Likely XI: Evin Lewis, Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Mitchell McClenaghan, Makrand Markande, Jasprit Bumrah, Mustafizur Rahman Delhi Daredevils: The visitors might drop Shahbaz Nadeem and play an extra pacer. Likely XI: Gautam Gambhir, Colin Munro, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Glenn Maxwell, Vijay Shankar, Chris Morris, Rahul Tewatia, Mohammed Shami, Avesh Khan, Trent Boult What they said: "His (Ricky Ponting) only mantra is to win. He doesn't believe in how you play and what you do. At the end of the day the result should be positive. He's here to win the championship and he keeps telling us that everyday." Shahbaz Nadeem, Delhi Daredevils' spinner.

Outplayed by the Mumbai Indians for close to 80% of the match, they snatched victory at the last moment possible thanks to some terrific Dwayne Bravo heroics. Cricket Betting Tips Free The Kolkata Knight Riders also started their campaign with a win against the heavily fancied team of Royal Challengers Bangalore. KKR now faces another tough test as they travel into the den of the Super Kings to try and get their second consecutive victory. MATCH PREVIEW CHENNAI SUPER KINGS CSK started its campaign with an excellent victory against the Mumbai Indians but MS Dhoni and his support staff will know they have a lot to improve on. Cricket Tips Deepak Chahar proved to be a canny pick ahead of Shardul Thakur and Shane Watson bowled well at all stages of the innings. Mark Wood, though, failed in his first outing as designated death bowler for CSK. Match Tips Dwayne Bravo was excellent with the ball and even though he did not pick any wickets, we think he will be the main threat to opposition batsmen going forward. Of particular concern would be the complete lack of impact that the CSK spinners had. Harbhajan Singh, Imran Tahir, and Ravindra Jadeja are all reputed international quality bowlers. Cricket Betting Tips The Mumbai pitch was flat but the trio would have still liked to have played a bigger role. If the pitch in Chennai favors spinners, like it is expected to, then we could see the trio of spinners play a much larger role in the second match. What about the batting, though? Kedar Jadhav has been injured and is likely to miss the next few matches. Murali Vijay, who did not find a place in the first match, should slot in as his replacement. Vijay will probably take the opening slot next to Watson and leave Rayadu to play in the middle order. Cbtf Cricket There is also the small possibility of CSK playing one of its little-known youngsters in place of Jadhav. It is clear the CSK’s batting is the weaker of their two disciplines and that is not going to change around quickly. Watson is a T20 star but does not typically start well against spin. Cbtf Betting Tips Murali Vijay is rusty in the T20 format, Suresh Raina is making a comeback, Rayadu is no longer in the scheme of things for the Indian team, and MS Dhoni is a shadow of the player he once was. Ravindra Jadeja is also someone whose batting never reached the heights it promised. Can CSK depend on Bravo to bail them out in each match? His innings in the last match was also one that was witnessed after many years. It is an outlier in his steady regression as a batsman. CSK will have an advantage playing in home conditions in front of a vociferous crowd but they are a team with plenty of weaknesses to exploit. KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS Dinesh Karthik started his KKR stint as captain with plenty of promise. He played a calm hand in the chase and helped guide his team to victory thanks to some very attacking batting performances alongside. He will need to depend on his bag of tricks once again if KKR has to emerge victorious. Let’s start with every team's first names on the list in Chennai. Betting Tips Free The spinners. KKR had Piyush Chawla, Kuldeep Yadav, and Sunil Narine in its lineup for the first match and all three should keep their place with ease. Chawla is dependable as a spinner and has had plenty of success in the IPL. Kuldeep Yadav is currently the darling of the Indian cricket team and has a lot of confidence. Free Cricket Betting Tips He also spins the ball both ways, a vital advantage in T20 cricket. Sunil Narine was effective without being overly dangerous in the first match. We are unsure if he will be able to bowl without being censured for the entire duration of the IPL but his batting would have certainly given him a lot of confidence. KKR’s spinners seem to be outclassed by CSK’s trio but they have the capability to spring a surprise. Cricket Betting Tips In general, the more helpful the conditions, the more effective even lesser quality spinners will become and thus even out the field. The match will be won or lost depending upon KKR’s batting in our opinion. Sunil Narine stroked yet another incredible fifty and his place at the top of the order is looking less and less like a surprise. We think he will come out again to open the batting with Chris Lynn. Narine is very effective against spin and so we expect to Mark Wood in the attack early. Lynn, though, is one of the most destructive batsmen in the world and absolutely loves pace on the ball. CSK will have to decide which opening batsman it wants to attack first. The middle order of Uthappa, Nitish Rana, Dinesh Karthik, and Andre Russell is pretty handy as well. There is plenty of power, experience, and energy to keep CSK on its toes. Starting with a win was very important for a side like KKR which is irrecognizable from last year. A little more time and we are certain that players like Uthappa, Lynn, and Karthik will start firing regularly. The fast bowling stocks of KKR are definitely superior to CSK. Mitchell Johnson and Andre Russell can crank it up while Vinay Kumar has become a more reliable bowler in recent years. KKR has traditionally found it tough to travel to Chennai and win but they may have a real shot at causing an upset early in the tournament. www.cricketbettingtipsfree.net PITCH AND CONDITIONS Humid weather and temperatures hovering around the mid-thirties have been forecast for the match. There is a negligible chance of showers to interrupt proceedings. Cricket Tips Free The pitch will be of immediate concern for both teams. MA Chidambaram stadium offers something for the spinners on most days but playing your match here early in the season is a definite advantage. Scores of around 170 will be very hard to chase. OUR PREDICTION
KKR may have only won 2 out of their 7 matches in Chennai and trail in the overall head to head 11-7b but we think KKR has put together a very useful team to play in most conditions this year. Their batting is better than CSK and their bowling is equally as good. Cricket Betting Tips Free The advantage of having more power hitters in the batting lineup is also likely to pay dividends. ABOUT THE MATCH Both Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad need to quickly recover from the shocking ball tampering incident due to which they'll be without their regular skippers. Cricket Betting Tips The two teams will lock horns in the 4th match of this year's Indian Premier League which will be the first match for both the sides. The match will be played at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad on 9th April 2018. Both the teams will love to register their first win of the tournament in their opening match and we expect both the sides to come out all guns blazing. MATCH PREVIEW SUNRISERS HYDERABAD Sunrisers Hyderabad retained three players before the auction, but the number has effectively been reduced to two because of their regular skipper, David Warner, ruled out of the tournament. Cricket Betting Tips Free The responsibility of the captaincy has been handed over to another veteran, Kane Williamson and the franchise has called Alex Hales in as a replacement for David Warner. More than their batting, the Sunrisers are known for their superb death bowling. With Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Rashid Khan in the mix, they can make any team succumb under the pressure of scoring quickly and thereby picking up wickets in the process. Match Betting Tips They further bolstered their bowling further by picking up Basil Thampi, T Natrajan, and Shakib Al Hasan in the auction. They also picked up Manish Pandey and Yusuf Pathan to their lineup. While the numbers of Yusuf Pathan have been on the decline in the recent past, he was a key player for KKR. Cbtf Manish Pandey also moved from KKR to Sunrisers and he will be hoping to build on the good reputation he gained will playing for Kolkata Knight Riders. David Warner's captaincy was one of the biggest reasons for their 2016 title win and his presence will certainly be felt. Kane Williamson has been an inspirational captain for New Zealand and his calmness might well be the tonic that SRH needs. Cricket Tips Free With Shikhar Dhawan in prime form and Alex Hales likely to join him at the top, their powerplay batting stays as destructive as it was with Warner around. SRH is one of the most well-balanced squads of the tournament and it will be tough to get past them. Predicted Likely XI: Shikhar Dhawan - Wriddhiman Saha - Kane Williamson (c) - Manish Pandey - Shakib al Hasan - Dhawal Kulkarni - Rashid Khan - Bhuvneshwar Kumar - Sandeep Sharma - Billy Stanlake - Basil Thampi RAJASTHAN ROYALS In the ten years old history of world's costliest Cricket league, Rajasthan Royals have seen it all. After winning the inaugural edition of the tournament, they had a few ordinary years before being banned for two years. Betting Tips Free They now make a return to the tournament in a fashion they were not known to be - spending the most in the auction. The only player they chose to retain, Steve Smith, is now a history for them and Ajinkya Rahane will lead the side. While Rahane is an experienced cricketer, he may be able to fill up for Smith's captaincy, but his presence as a batsman will certainly be felt. Cricket Betting Tips Heinrich Klaasen has been called in as a replacement for Smith, but given the fact that Jos Buttler is already available, Klassen might not be given a run from the first match. D'arcy Short, too, is expected to miss the first few games of the season, thanks to a delay in his visa processing and passport delivery. Despite his absence, the Royals have one of the most solid batting lineups in the tournament. Cbtf Cricket The opening pair of Rahul Tripathi and Ajinkya Rahane did well for Pune last year and with Sanju Samson, Ben Stokes, and Jos Buttler to follow, they couldn't have asked for more firepower. Unlike the past few editions, the Royals failed to grab an experienced spinner in the IPL auction. Rajasthan will miss the services of an experienced spinner and therefore a lot will depend upon young Ankit Sharma and Zahir Khan from Afghanistan. Considering Jaipur's track, they picked up good seamers in Jaydev Unadkat and Dhawal Kulkarni. Free Betting Tips Given the availability of reliable Indian players and the flexibility offered by their foreign stars, Rajasthan Royals will be a dangerous team to deal with. Predicted Likely XI: Rahul Tripathi - Ajinkya Rahane (c) - Sanju Samson (wk) - Ben Stokes - Jos Buttler - Dhawal Kulkarni - Krishnappa Gowtham - Ben Laughlin - Jofra Archer - Shreyas Gopal - Jaydev Unadkat PITCH AND CONDITIONS Hyderabad is generally dry, but the forecast for the match day is a lot different. Heavy rainfall along with scattered thunderstorm is expected which may tempt captains to chase first considering the fact that DLS method may come into the picture. IPL Betting Tips While the bowlers have thrived on this pitch more often than not, the ground offers good value for the shots, thanks to the quick outfield. OUR PREDICTION
It will be interesting to see the two teams come out without their regular skippers: Steve Smith and David Warner for RR and SRH respectively. Hyderabad's pitch is known to offer assistance to quick bowlers and the Sunrisers have the better resources to exploit the conditions. Cricket Betting Tips Free Rajasthan Royals rely heavily on Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler to score heavily during the backend of the innings. The Sunrisers appear to be a better team on paper and with a bowling attack capable of taking wickets on any surface, the home team is likely to prevail at Hyderabad. www.cricketbettingtipsfree.net |
