IPL 2020 Match 20 – MI vs RR Betting Preview

If there’s one thing we’ve learnt from cricket betting and live betting on IPL matches, it’s that you shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity of betting on high odds. In IPL 2020 itself, we’ve seen teams winning after being listed at odds of 25+ as well. However, the last few games have been straight game and in IPL 2020 Match 20, Mumbai Indians are favourites at odds of 1.55 with 1xBet.

It’s the first time this entire season that a team is such a high favourite and that’s surprising considering that they’re playing Rajasthan Royals who started their campaign this season odds with a couple of back-to-back wins and just because they’re listed at pre-match odds of 2.21 with 1xBet and because they’ll offer value right through the match, we’ll be backing RR to win this game today.

IPL 2020 Match 20 - MI vs RR Betting Preview

Batting picks

The Kolkata bowlers have struggled with picking wickets and if you look at their opening bowlers itself, Pat Cummins and Sunil Narine have only 2 wickets in 4 games each, so we think the Mumbai openers have a good chance of settling in and making big scores. Rohit Sharma is the natural favourite at odds of 3.24 with 1xBet while Quinton de Kock has also hit form after his fifty in the last game and is also good value at odds of 3.38.

In the last couple of games, Sanju Samson has scores of just 8 and 4 and we’d rather back someone like Jos Buttler who has a couple of twenties in the last 2 games and is likely to convert into a big one today, especially since he’s playing his former franchise. Buttler is favourite to top score at odds of 3.24 with 1xBet while if he plays, Yashasvi Jaiswal is a good pick since he’ll open and is listed at odds of 6.5 to top score for the Royals.

Bowling picks

Being some of the best pacers in the world, Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult are high favourites to be Mumbai’s top bowlers at odds of 3 and 3.98 respectively with 1xBet. However, there’s someone like James Pattinson who has quietly racked up 7 wickets in 5 games and amidst all the talks of him being only a replacement for Nathan Coulter-Nile, he’s done well and is high value to be their top bowler today at odds of 5!

We think there’s a superb opportunity here with England’s prime pacer Jofra Archer listed as high as odds of 5.25 with 1xBet to be the top bowler for Rajasthan Royals in this game. He has been hitting the 145+ kmph mark on a regular basis and he’s got 4 wickets in 4 games, the highest for RR so far. Ankit Rajpoot (if picked) is also a good pick since he hits the pitch hard and is listed at odds of 5 to be Rajasthan’s top bowler.

Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals Betting

Like we mentioned above, someone listed as clear underdogs by the bookmakers will continue to trail and offer good value right through the match, so we’re backing Rajasthan to get back to winning ways today. Please also remember than since their suspension return in IPL 2018, Rajasthan has played Mumbai on 4 occasions and they’ve beat them in all 4 of those encounters!
