RR vs. DC Predictions and Betting Tips using Parimatch’s Offer
In order to make the most of Parimatch’s IPL welcome offer, you should consider backing the underdogs. However, that doesn’t mean that you should blindly bet against the favourites. Rather, you need to carefully evaluate when it makes sense to take a punt on the underdogs.
This week, we believe that KKR are the underdogs worth backing. It is rather surprising that given their recent form, the Knight Riders have been labelled as underdogs against the Capitals - one of the most inconsistent teams of IPL 2026.
The Knights’ top order featuring the likes of Finn Allen and Angkrish Raghuvanshi have finally started to click, while Rinku Singh remains the Knights’ ultimate finisher in the final overs. Their spin attack is also in full swing. Sunil Narine remains as economical as ever, while Varun Chakravarty is coming off a Player of the Match performance against SRH.
DC.s opening duo of KL Rahul and Pathum Nissanka must find a way to capitalize on the short Delhi boundaries without eating too many dot balls. Their middle order remains their true engine room. On the bowling front, DC’s pace attack remains a massive liability as they have leaked runs all season long.
Bearing all of these in mind, here are our betting tips for this fixture:
- KKR to maintain their momentum - KKR to win vs. RR @1.95 on Parimatch
- Another fine innings for Angkrish Raghuvanshi - Angkrish Raghuvanshi to score over 23.5 @1.85 on Parimatch
- Better start for KKR openers - KKR to have better first partnership @2.10 on Parimatch
