Indian Premier LeagueIPL Betting - Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders
Posted by IPLBet | Under IPL Betting Tuesday Apr 13, 2010The second of today’s IPL matches is an absolutely crucial contest, which will go a long way to deciding whether either of these two sides qualify for the semi-finals.
Earlier today, the Mumbai Indians beat the Delhi Daredevils, after a late display of power hitting from Kieron Pollard gave Mumbai a total of 183 to defend.
Both the Super Kings and the Knight Riders are on ten points, with Mumbai already through to the semis and four teams on twelve points. Unless Kolkata win by a huge margin, it is unlikely that they will move up into the top four, due to their inferior net run rate, but a win for Chennai would see them vault up to at least fourth place, and potentially third.
Chennai are favourites for the game, priced at 3/4 (bet $40 to make $30 profit), while the Knight Riders are at 6/5 to win.
Murali Vijay and Matthew Hayden are joint favourites to be top batsman for the Super Kings, priced at 3/1, ahead of Suresh Raina who is at 4/1. Chennai’s captain, MS Dhoni, is priced at 5/1 to make the top score for his side.
Chris Gayle and Sourav Ganguly lead the market for Kolkata’s top batsman, priced at 5/2 and 3/1 respectively. Brad Hodge and Brendon McCullum are both at 7/2.
Chennai are reasonably well-fancied to win the competition, priced at 8/1, while the fact that Kolkata will struggle to progress to the semi-finals means that they are at 14/1 to win IPL 3.
