Lucknow Super Giants v Rajasthan Royals
The Super Giants go in search of their 3rd successive win having beaten the Chennai Super Kings on the road in their last match. They won the toss and chose to field a move that seemed to have backfired when their opponents reached 201/4 in 20 overs. Matt Henry was the pick of the bowlers with 1-28 in his 4 overs.
The chase was under pressure early with De Kock going for a 3 ball duck but a superb unbeaten 124 off 63 from Marcus Stoinis saw then finish strong to take a 6 wicket victory.
The Royals host the Mumbai Indians in match 38 and they lost the toss and took to the field. They bowled well restricting Mumbai to 179/9 in 20 overs with Sandeep Sharma exceptional with the ball picking up 5 wickets for 18 runs in his 4 overs to stop Mumbai getting what had threatened to be a monster total.
Yashasvi Jaiswal ensured the runs were chased down with minimum stress thanks to an unbeaten 104 off 60 balls and the Royals consolidated their position at the top of the log with a 9 wicket win.

Lucknow Super Giants 11/10
Rajasthan Royals 8/10
Suggested Bet: Rajasthan Royals win at 8/10
This should be a cracking match between 2 in form teams. The Royals are playing with such confidence and the way they chased 180 down in their last match was impressive in that there was never any panic. I think they are worthy favourites for the win and this bet also comes with the insurance of the Money Back for Most Sixes promo see details below.

Suggested Bet: Top Royals bowler Yuzvendra Chahal at 17/10
Chahal has taken 13 wickets at an average of just 20.38 runs per wicket and I believe he justifies favouritism in this market.
Suggested Bet: Player of the Match Nicholas Pooran at 35/2
A small interest at a nice price. Pooran has hit 22 sixes this season and if he gets some time at the crease he can play a match-winning knock.
