Royal Challengers Bengaluru 1.75
Lucknow Super Giants 2.05
Suggested Bet: Virat Kohli total – over 31.5 at 1.85
After a brilliant knock in his last game and his record of a man who seldomly loses form I am looking to keep Kohli onside in this one.
Suggested Bet: Batsman Total Match Fours – Quinton De Kock over 2.5 at 1.85
De Kock is a player who will cross the boundary rope many times when he gets going and I believe he is beginning to find his form again after a wobbly spell.
