Faf du Plessis to score over 24.5 runs @ 1.85

Jonny Bairstow to score over 24.5 runs @ 1.85

If there was any doubt that Jonny Bairstow is one of the greatest white ball cricketers of all time, the first five games of IPL 2021 squashed it. On a Chepauk pitch where batsmen struggled to hit the ball out of the square, Bairstow looked like he was batting at Trent Bridge; such was the effortless ease with which he was cannonading attacks. 55, 12, 43, 63* and 38 read Bairstow’s scores in IPL 2021 and last game, he became the third fastest to 1000 IPL runs; that’s how ridiculously good and consistent he is. Bairstow the IPL batsman has been so consistent that in the 26 times he’s batted in his IPL career, the right-hander has passed 24.5 a staggering 17 times. Why and how he’s managed to be ‘this’ consistent is because of his ludicrous ability to tackle spin. In his IPL career, Bairstow averages 54, 30 and 46 versus the three main spin types (off-spin, leg-spin, left-arm-orthodox) and this season, only once he’s been dismissed by a spinner. This will particularly come handy in Delhi, where spinners will be expected to rule the roost. Bairstow, in fact, has batted once before in Delhi and in that game, he smashed a 28-ball 48. An in-form Jonny Bairstow is unstoppable, and that is precisely why you need to take a punt on him by going to Bethive RIGHT NOW! 

Top batter total under 69.5 @ 1.85

This IPL thus far has basically been a tale of two venues. While Mumbai, where each of the Top 6 individual scores has been registered, has been flat and a batsman’s paradise, Chennai has been a graveyard for anyone with a bat in their hand. Ahmedabad, on Monday, proved to be sluggish, but expect Delhi to mirror Chennai more than Mumbai. Before getting to the venue, though, let’s talk about the two teams. SRH, this season, have had no batsmen score over 69.5, while CSK, on the other hand, have had a solitary batsman pass the mark. In other words, across the 10 times these two sides have batted this season, only once (10%) has a batsman managed to score over 69.5.  No batsman managed to pass 69.5 in their H2H clashes last season, too, as across four innings, the highest score turned out to be just 57. But this bet becomes a no-brainer when you look at what happened in Delhi in IPL 2019. Remarkably, in 7 games at the venue in IPL 2019, only one batsman, Prithvi Shaw (99), managed to score over 69.5. Across 14 innings, batting sides had a solitary batsman passing the 69.5 mark, indicating the torturously slow nature of the wicket. If history is to be believed, then Wednesday will be different; we trust the past and so should you. Head over to Bethive right now and bet for the Top batter of the game to score under 69.5 runs.
