IPL Cricket betting - Mumbai Indians vs Kings XI Punjab

Current league leaders the Mumbai Indians take on the league losers Kings XI Punjab in today`s IPL match. Yesterday saw the Delhi Daredevils win comfortably against the Kolkata Knight Riders, with David Warner hitting a fantastic unbeaten century, and Delhi bowling well as the Knight Riders fell short by 40 runs.

Mumbai last played on Sunday, when they beat the Deccan Chargers by 41 runs, largely thanks to the heroics of Harbhajan Singh with both bat and ball. He came in at number nine, and smashed 49* from 18 balls to take Mumbai`s total to 172, and took 3-31 as the Chargers slumped to defeat.

Meanwhile, the Kings have been dismal this season, only winning one of their six matches so far. Yuvraj Singh, who has the potential to completely decimate a bowling attack, has been particularly disappointing, with an average of only 16.5 this season. However, the Kings will welcome the return of Shaun Marsh, who has the fire-power to inject some much needed steel into their batting line up.

The Indians are understandably comfortable favourites for the match, priced at 8/15 with Betfred (Bet $150 to make $80 profit). The Kings are at 13/8 with Bet365.

The Kings will be missing their captain Kumar Sangakkara, and Mahela Jayawardene will replace him for the match. Ravi Bopara is the favourite to top score for the Kings, priced at 3/1, followed by Shaun Marsh who is at 7/2. Yuvraj is at 4/1 and Jayawardene is a 6/1 shot.

Sachin Tendulkar has been in phenomenal form for Mumbai this season, having scored 303 runs at an average of 60.60. He is best priced at 15/8 with Stan James to be top scorer for the Indians. Sanath Jayasuriya and JP Duminy are  next at 9/2 and 5/1 respectively, and IPL`s record signing Kieron Pollard, who was bought for a reported $2.8million, is an 8/1 shot to be top batsman.

Mumbai are the 9/4 favourites to claim their maiden IPL title this year, whereas the Kings will need a miracle to even make the semi-finals. They are priced at  50/1 to win the competition.
