Waging odds: Kings XI Punjab (1.83) vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (1.83)
The odds are equal in this one as both Kings XI Punjab and Sunrisers Hyderabad are priced at 1.83. If the team you bet ₹100 on wins the match, you’ll be making ₹183.
Our prediction:
In their previous faceoff in the current IPL, SRH won by 69 runs. The top order of batting has worked brilliantly for SRH, plus the arrival of Holder being a massive plus point for the consistent bowling squad. However, KXIP are high on confidence with three straight victories as they keep on rising the table with an aim to secure a playoff position and will give their all to pick up another two points.
It will be a victory for Kings XI Punjab.
