RCB are a very short price here but it’s hard to see them losing this.

Thave won four of their last six games, both previous trips to Ekana and lead this rivalry 4-2. Meanwhile, LSG have lost six games in a row. Their batting and bowling have not clicked in the same game all season. When the batters have fired, the bowlers have leaked, and vice versa.

Pooran’s fifty last game was a moment of individual brilliance, not a sign of collective recovery. Even with conditions in their favour, a side this far gone is hard to back.

The surface is the one reason to pause. The Ekana black-soil strip plays slow with low bounce, bringing spinners and change-of-pace bowlers into play. Previous matches on similar tracks have been low-scoring affairs where patience matters more than power. That does not suit RCB’s natural game.

Nevertheless, RCB’s adaptability has been one of their defining traits this season. Back them to handle this one.


Best Bet

Virat Kohli

$1.90

Kohli thrives when pitches slow up and demand patience over power. He has 374 runs this season at a strike rate of 163 and is only 66 behind the Orange Cap leader. On a surface where controlled bat dominates sloggers, he should enjoy this one.


Value Bet

Josh Hazlewood
3+ Wickets

$3.30

Hazlewood loves this match-up, with nine wickets against LSG in just three IPL innings. A slow Ekana surface with low bounce suits his style and LSG’s top order has been falling cheaply all season.
