Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals | Top Team Bets to Watch Out For

Chennai Super Kings will lock horns with Rajasthan Royals in match number 37 of the Indian Premier League 2020 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, in Abu Dhabi, on October 19, on Monday evening.

A battle of survival as you may call it, Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals both need to win this game in order to stay afloat in the race to that playoff spot. This midfield clash has been so tight this season I swear I have not witnessed something like this in recent years in the Indian Premier League. MS Dhoni and co. have been sloppy in several areas and thus they have ended up losing so many games this season. On the other hand, Steve Smith and his band in Pink have such a strong side, they just have not been able to close the games and have lost 6 out of 9 games. To add to the spices of this encounter, I have assorted three of the best team bets for you to bet on from this match.

Chennai Super Kings to win

Time is running out for both Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals and in order to stay afloat in this IPL 2020, a win will enhance the chances for both teams. However, I do have a feeling that Chennai Super Kings will have the upper hand going into this fixture. Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals have played 23 head-to-head matches in the IPL and the Men in Yellow have triumphed on 14 occasions. Chennai Super Kings have won 6 out of the last 9 head-to-head games against Rajasthan Royals. In the first meeting earlier this season, Chennai Super Kings came agonisingly close chasing down a mammoth total of 217 runs but eventually fell short. The two sides have never played against each other at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi; However, they have played at the other two venues in the United Arab Emirates and both sides have won a piece. With MS Dhoni at the helm of Men in Yellow, you have got to back the man with the brain and might for tomorrow’s game! LeoVegas is offering odds of 1.84 for a Chennai Super Kings victory and that should be the order of the day.

Top batter total to be over 66.5 runs

Runs have flowed freely and the tap cannot be found anywhere in the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League. The bowlers might have pulled things back a little with the pitches getting a bit slower, lower and drier but the batsmen still seemed to be maintaining their dominance in this ongoing season of the IPL. A whopping 30 scores of more than 66.5 runs in this ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League in 36 matches. 11 out of those 30 knocks of more than 66.5 runs were registered at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. In the last five head-to-head matches between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals, six scores of 66.5 runs were registered. In the last game between these two teams earlier this season, three scores of 66 and more runs were registered. All these statistics are indicative of the fact that this is a market with massive potential and you should not even be waiting any further before placing your bets on the Sportsbet.io website, who are offering odds of 1.85 for top batter total to be over 66.5 runs.

1st innings total to be under 168.5 runs

Just as I said a little while ago, runs have been easy to come by in this ongoing season of the IPL and the batsmen have enjoyed it. However, when it comes to playing at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi, things have been a little different. We might have witnessed individual brilliances but the first innings total have been somewhat moderate unlike the other two venues. Out of 12 matches at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, only 2 scores of more than 168.5 runs have been registered. As you know, the two teams have clashed 23 times in the previous seasons of the Indian Premier League, 14 1st innings total of under 168.5 runs were registered. So as you can see that Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals have a history of low-scoring encounters and we can expect another on a Monday evening. Bet365 is offering offs of 1.72 for 1st innings total to be under 168.5 runs on Monday and that has been the likely outcome of first innings scores at this venue.
