Sunday's IPL predictions

Royal Challengers Bengaluru are bottom of the IPL table after a five-match losing streak which started with a comprehensive seven-wicket home defeat to Sunday's opponents Kolkata Knight Riders.

KKR all-rounder Sunil Narine was named player of the match in that game, dismissing Bengaluru star Glenn Maxwell before smashing 47 off 22 balls in a blistering opening stand with England's Phil Salt.

The West Indies veteran has been sensational with bat and ball this season. He made 85 and took 1-29 against Delhi this month, again winning the individual award, and smashed 109 before claiming 2-30 in Tuesday's narrow home defeat to leaders Rajasthan.

Narine is in magnificent touch at the top of the order and has conceded only 66 runs in 12 overs at Eden Gardens so he is a tempting price to pick up another player-of-the-match award.

Gujarat Titans were bowled out for 89 in a disappointing defeat to Delhi on Tuesday and they have hit fewer sixes than their opponents in six of their first seven games.

That trend may well continue against Punjab Kings, who were reduced to 14-4 in 2.1 overs against Mumbai on Thursday before a 28-ball 61 from number eight Ashutosh Sharma almost dragged them to a stunning victory. 

The Kings hit 12 sixes to Mumbai's ten and won that heat 8-5 in this month's away fixture at Gujarat, where Shashank Singh's unbeaten 61 sealed a three-wicket win.
