Preview

Delhi Capitals have won five of their last six IPL games against Kolkata Knight Riders and they are 4-6 for a ninth victory in 11 matches this season.

The Capitals are likely to be boosted by the absence of Kolkata's star all-rounder Andre Russell, who suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday's two-wicket defeat to Chennai.

With Russell out, Dinesh Karthik could have a big role to play with the bat. The former captain was praised by KKR mentor David Hussey for his 26 off 11 balls against Chennai and may be set for a promotion up the order so double-figure odds about him top-scoring are worth an interest.

Defending champions Mumbai have lost all three of their games since the IPL season resumed in the UAE and they need to turn things around swiftly if they are to earn a playoff spot. Rohit Sharma's men are 4-6 to beat 6-5 Punjab Kings in Abu Dhabi.

The English county season culminates in the Bob Willis Trophy final -a five-day match at Lord's between the newly-crowned county champions Warwickshire and the team they pipped to the title, Lancashire.

Warwickshire, missing rested England all-rounder Chris Woakes, are evens draw no bet and Lancashire are 4-5 to win what looks set to be a rain-affected contest.
