Indian T20 League: Bangalore vs Kolkata – Best Odds and Prediction
- SHARE
Bangalore and Kolkata are set to lock horns at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Bangalore will be very satisfied with their performance in the previous two games where they picked up wins over Mumbai and Sunrisers. Kolkata, on the other hand, defeated Hyderabad but went down to Mumbai in their last game. Both teams have quite a few match-winners in their team thus the match is expected to be an enthralling affair. Here are the best odds from the match.
Top team
| Team Name | 10cric | betway | 1xbet | bet365 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Royal Challengers Bangalore | 1.68 | 1.72 | 1.736 | 1.72 |
| Kolkata Knight Riders | 2.05 | 2.15 | 2.11 | 2.10 |
Most betting sites have declared Bangalore as favourites. Rightly so as Virat Kohli’s team looks a far more balanced team at the moment. For Kolkata, their middle-order looks slightly vulnerable thus Bangalore seems a good pick.
Top batsmen
| Top Team Batsman | 10cric | betway | 1xbet | bet365 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Virat Kohli(RCB) | 2.90 | 2.62 | 3.00 | 3.00 |
| AB de Villiers(RCB) | 3.50 | 4.75 | 3.74 | 3.75 |
| Glenn Maxwell(RCB) | 5.00 | 5.50 | 5.00 | 5.00 |
| Shubman Gill(KKR) | 3.50 | 3.50 | 3.64 | 3.66 |
| Nitish Rana(KKR) | 4.35 | 4.00 | 4.32 | 4.33 |
| Eoin Morgan(KKR) | 4.50 | 4.00 | 4.50 | 4.50 |
Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell are the three batsmen we would like to back from Bangalore. Virat Kohli is among the best batsmen going around in world cricket and has been in decent form of late. Though he hasn’t got a big score in the two Indian T20 League matches, he has looked solid. We think a big inning is just around the corner. AB de Villiers is also someone to keep a keen eye on. On his day, De Villiers can win games from the most hopeless situations. With a fifty in the last match, Glenn Maxwell has justified his price tag.
From Kolkata, Nitish Rana is coming back from two back to back half-centuries thus he’s expected to do well. Same can be said about Rahul Tripathi, who impressed the fanatics with a brisk half-century in the first game. Kolkata will also rest their hopes on Eoin Morgan who can be a match-winner on his day.
Top bowlers
| Top Team Bowlers | 10cric | betway | 1xbet | bet365 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yuzvendra Chahal(RCB) | 3.25 | 3.60 | 3.40 | 3.40 |
| Harshal Patel(RCB) | 3.50 | 4.50 | 3.74 | 3.75 |
| Mohammed Siraj(RCB) | 4.00 | 4.00 | 4.00 | 4.00 |
| Pat Cummins(KKR) | 4.35 | 3.75 | 4.32 | 4.33 |
| Varun Chakravarthy(KKR) | 4.35 | 3.75 | 4.50 | 4.50 |
| Andre Russell(KKR) | 4.50 | 5.50 | 4.50 | 4.50 |
We are backing Yuzvendra Chahal, Harshal Patel and Mohammed Siraj to do the job for RCB. Spinners get a lot of purchase in Chennai which makes him a real threat to KKR. Harshal Patel has also looked in great rhythm in the two games. Siraj is another bowler do watch out. He has really grown as a bowler and can be dangerous with the new and old ball.
For KKR we have gone with Pat Cummins, Varun Chakravarthy and Andre Russell. These are the best options available for KKR and are most likely to pick up wickets.
