Indian Premier League |

Now that we have reached the business end of the IPL season, the teams are scrapping it out to finish in the top four in the league, in order to reach the semi-finals, where each team has a big chance of winning. The two sides in action today currently occupy third and fourth places in the table, and will be very confident of advancing should they win today.

Chennai will be looking to build on their good performance last match, when they held the Kolkata Knight Riders to only 139, and then cruised to victory with six overs and nine wickets left. Delhi, however, did not fare well in their last match, failing to take advantage of a weakened Mumbai side, and slumping to a 39 run defeat.

The betting for this match is incredibly close, with Chennai marginal underdogs at 21/20 (bet $20 to make $21 profit). Delhi are at 19/20.

Chennai’s openers, Matthew Hayden and Murali Vijay, are joint favourites to make the top score for the Super Kings, both priced at 3/1. Next is Suresh Raina, who smashed 78 from only 39 balls in the last match. He is priced at 7/2, ahead of MS Dhoni, who is at 5/1.

Virender Sehwag, who recently retained his title as Wisden International cricketer of the year, is favourite to be top batsman for the Daredevils, priced at 11/4. David Warner is a short way behind at 3/1, followed by Gautam Gambhir who is at 4/1.

Both of these teams are seen as having a good chance of winning this tournament, as joint third favourites behind Mumbai and Bangalore. Mumbai are at 21/10, Bangalore at 7/2, and both of today’s sides are at 9/2.
