Sunday's IPL & One-Day Cup cricket betting preview, tips & TV details

Royal Challengers Bangalore v Chennai Super Kings
BT Sport 1 & Star Gold, 3.30pm Sunday

Royal Challengers Bangalore bagged their second win of the IPL campaign in Kolkata on Friday, just about holding off the Knight Riders following skipper Virat Kohli's majestic century.

But any hopes of a sensational charge into the playoff picture should be extinguished when they host champions Chennai Super Kings.

The Super Kings top the table with seven wins out of nine and skittled out Kohli's charges for 70 in the campaign curtain-raiser.

MS Dhoni's men were turned over in a low-scoring Hyderabad affair on Wednesday but another belting pitch can be expected so the best bet is Faf du Plessis to be the top Super Kings scorer.

Du Plessis, now opening, has hit three 40-plus scores in his five tournament knocks.

Recommendation
F du Plessis top Chennai runscorer
1pt 10-3 bet365

Sunrisers Hyderabad v Kolkata Knight Riders
BT Sport 1 & Star Gold, 11.30am Sunday

Another Andre Russell special - 65 off 25 balls - was not enough to stop Kolkata's slide to a fourth-straight defeat on Friday and it could become five in Hyderabad.

The Sunrisers kept Chennai to 132-5 on Wednesday to arrest their own three-game slump. They boast the tournament's top scorer in skipper David Warner, while opening partner Jonny Bairstow is also in fine form and skipper Kane Williamson is rarely far from a classy innings.

Recommendation
Sunrisers Hyderabad
1pt Evs bet365, Sky Bet

One-Day Cup 11am Sunday

Yorkshire against Lancashire and Derbyshire against Nottinghamshire are the standout 50-over games on Sunday but the best-value bet looks to be Gloucestershire to beat Middlesex at Lord's.

Gloucestershire bowled out Surrey for 88 on Wednesday to win their opener by 147 runs and triumphed on their 2017 One-Day Cup visit to St John's Wood.

Middlesex prevailed comfortably enough against Essex at Chelmsford after making 366-8, but they cannot yet be considered a white-ball outfit to trust again at odds-on.

Recommendation
Gloucestershire
1pt 6-5 Coral, Ladbrokes
