Gujarat Titans 8/10
Royal Challengers Bengaluru 1/1
Suggested Bet: RCB win at 1/1
Neither team can afford to lose this one and I just have a feeling that having backed their 2nd win RCB are about to embark on a run that could see them close to qualifying. This bet also comes with the insurance of the Money Back for Most Sixes promo see details below.

Suggested Bet: Royal Challengers Bengaluru Top Batter – Virat Kohli at 15/10
He has been on impressive form and he always seems to deliver with the bat in hand. He is topping the run scorer standings and with his team likely to miss out on the playoffs will be keen to extend his lead.
Suggested Bet: Shubman Gill Total Fours – over 3.5 at 12/10
He is a batsman of pure talent and I believe he will get his eye in on this occasion and sent multiple balls across the boundary rope. While capable of hitting 6’s he has hit 3 4’s for every 6 this season.
