Hyderabad v Delhi & Kolkata v Chennai: IPL betting preview, TV details & tips

TV: BT Sport 3 & Star Gold, 3.30pm Sunday

Sunrisers Hyderabad v Delhi Capitals
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad
Delhi Capitals have already won in Mumbai, Bangalore and Kolkata this season and they could launch another successful raid when they travel to Sunrisers Hyderabad.

The Sunrisers made a blistering start to the season with openers Jonny Bairstow and David Warner sharing three consecutive century partnerships but they are struggling to live up to last season's high standard.

Hyderabad finished top of the league before losing to Chennai in the final in 2018. This season, though, inspirational skipper Kane Williamson has been restricted to just one appearance and they have lost their last three matches.

Delhi nailed a testing run-chase in Kolkata last time out, completing a league double over the powerful Knight Riders. Shikhar Dhawan's unbeaten 97 was his most fluent effort of the campaign and the Capitals look dangerous outsiders in Hyderabad.

Recommendation
Delhi Capitals
2pts 11-8 Paddy Power

Kolkata Knight Riders v Chennai Super Kings
Eden Gardens, Kolkata
Chennai Super Kings, champions in 2018, have made a fine start to their title defence, winning six of their first seven matches, and they have been backed for another victory away to Kolkata Knight Riders.

Chennai had to dig deep for their most recent win, recovering from 24-4 to chase down 153 against Rajasthan with a six off the final ball of the 20th over.

Kolkata were disappointing in Friday's seven-wicket home defeat to Delhi but there were mitigating circumstances as opener Chris Lynn and all-rounder Sunil Narine were ruled out, significantly weakening the 11.

The Knight Riders' team news will be an important factor for punters but a small bet on Ambati Rayudu top-scoring for Chennai appeals. The middle-order man was the Super Kings' leading runscorer in 2018 and is working his way back to top form with scores of 21 not out, 21 and 57 in his last three games.

Recommendation
A Rayudu top Chennai runscorer
1pt 5-1 Sky Bet
