LSG vs. PBKS 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 LSG has potential to deliver a major upset against PBKS. The Kings’ recent form has made it hard for anyone to back them, even more so for this fixture when their odds aren’t great. LSG’s odds of 2.28, coupled with the Kings’ downward spiral, make them a punt worth considering.
While LSG are themselves out of the playoff race, they could still play a huge role in determining who gets the final playoff berth. A win against PBKS would open the door for RR, KKR, and CSK to capitalise.
PBKS, who were once top of the table and looked like an unstoppable juggernaut earlier this season, have suffered one of the most spectacular collapses in IPL history. Six defeats in a row have completely derailed their campaign, as they stand on the brink of elimination.
The Kings need to recover psychologically in order to salvage their season. They need their breakout stars to deliver once again. The likes of Priyansh Arya, Shreyas Iyer, Cooper Connolly and Marcus Stoinis need to rediscover their early season form. But with each passing game, that has looked less and less likely.
LSG, despite their struggles, have regularly posted 200+ totals courtesy of their top order. Rishabh Pant and the Australian duo of Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis have found boundaries with ease consistently. If Nicholas Pooran can find his elite finishing form in the final overs, PBKS’ bowling unit, who have struggled off late, will be in for a long night.
Bearing all of these in mind, here are our betting tips for this fixture:
- LSG to cause an upset - LSG to win vs. PBKS @2.28 on Parimatch
- PBKS openers to perform better than LSG - PBKS to have better opening partnership @1.92 on Parimatch
- LSG to hit more 6s - LSG to score more sixes @2.38 on Parimatch
