Betting preview

Royal Challengers Bangalore look to be timing their challenge perfectly in the Indian Premier League and their superior batting line-up should ensure they record a fourth win on the spin against rock-bottom Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Bangalore have risen to third in the standings following a hat-trick of victories over Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings and this assignment shouldn't prove any tougher.

The Royal Challengers have already secured a playoff spot but are still in the hunt for a top-two finish which would ease their path to the final.

However, the hosts are priced accordingly at 1-2 and greater value could lie with Glenn Maxwell maintaining his excellent form with the bat.

The Aussie ace has top-scored for Bangalore in each of their last three matches with knocks of 56, 50 and 57 and there are few batsmen more destructive than Maxwell when he is in the groove.

The innovative right-hander was also star of the show when Bangalore recorded a six-run win over Hyderabad in April, firing 59 off 41 balls, and at 7-2 he is worth backing to continue his hot streak.
