Match Analysis

The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium pitch in New Chandigarh should offer a nice balance between bat and ball, with true bounce and nice pace off the pitch and onto the bat. The outfield is quick and will help batters to keep the scoreboard ticking.

The quicks enjoy the early overs for the movement they get, but it settles into a batting paradise through the second half of the innings. The side batting first will see 180 as a minimum score, but as they get closer to 190 or 200 their bowlers will be rubbing their hands as chasing 200-plus can be a challenge.

The small boundary encourages high scoring but the stadium is likely to serve up only an average number of match sixes because of the early assistance for the pacemen, especially is there is the usual bit of grass left on top.

With extra seam and movement off the pitch the batters can come under early pressure, in particular if there is a top-order collapse, and the can shift the mindset from sixes to safety. If the top order sets a strong platform, however, then the sixes could rain through the closing overs.

Betting Markets to Watch

Best Punjab Kings Batter

Prabhsimran Singh is enjoying superb form with scores over 35 in all 4 of his innings in this season’s IPL, so he is worth backing to top-score for the Punjab Kings. It is a competitive category with the Kings top-order firing and Shreyas Iyer hitting 3 half-centuries this season, but Singh has scored well in all 4 matches that the Kings have batted in so I’m backing his consistency to see him score big.

Score Over/Under Runs

Nicholas Pooran’s poor run of form continued with a score of 1 against RCB on the back of scores of 8, 1, 13 & 19, so I’m backing him to score less than 22 runs in the match.

Take Over/Under Wickets

Prince Yadav has taken 9 wickets in his 10 IPL matches this season, picking up at least 1 wicket in each innings, so I’m backing him to take 2+ wickets in this match. Arshdeep Singh has taken 5 wickets in his last 2 matches, so he’s worth backing to pick up 2+ wickets in this match.
