To make the experience even more fruitful, I have handpicked the top three winning bets from the market and listed the below. Just take a few minutes, go through my analysis and invest strategically to win loads of money by the end of the game.

Mumbai Indians to hit over 6.5 sixes @ 1.83 (Sportsbet.io)

One of the safest deals for the upcoming match, with Mumbai Indians, arguably having the best hard-hitting unit in this IPL and with odds of 1.83 offered, we are quite lucky enough. In the last five matches, the number of sixes hit by them were - 12, 8, 3, 7, 12, having struck a total of 42, at a rate of 8.4 per match, having hit at least 7 in four of those matches, while in the remaining match, they were chasing a small total, which is self-explanatory. To further substantiate, the IPL side has hit a total of 130 sixes in 15 matches played this season, having cleared the ropes 8.66 times on average.

Dubai International Cricket is one of the bigger grounds in this years' IPL, but the firepower in Mumbai's batting line-up is never too weak to clear the fence, with them hitting 40 maximums (16, 9, 3, 12), at a rate of 10 hits per match, with them registering at least 7 in four of those games. Meanwhile, Ishan Kishan (29 sixes, the highest so far), Hardik Pandya (25 sixes), Keiron Pollard (22 sixes) and Quinton de Kock (21 sixes) are all in the list of the top 10 six hitters this season. This bet is one-way traffic and I hope you have figured that out.

Mumbai Indians to hit under 15.5 boundaries @ 1.51 (Sportsbet.io)

This might not fetch us a big sum, but assures us guaranteed money for sure with 16 boundaries a tough ask for any team to be honest. In the last five matches, Mumbai Indians have hit a total of 65 boundaries (15, 10, 11, 15, 14), at a rate of 13 hits per match, with them failing to hit at least 16 in each of those matches. Where the overall record is so important, the IPL side has registered a total of 208 boundaries, at a rate of 13.8 hits per match, which is in line with our case.

In the four matches played in Dubai this season, the Mumbai-based side have always been shy of 16 boundaries, with them hitting 47 boundaries (15, 11, 15, 6), striking 11.75 per match. In the three matches already played against each other this season, the Rohit Sharma-led side have sent the ball to the ropes a total of 41 times (15, 11, 15), at a rate of 13.66 hits per match, with none of the instances having more than 15 hits. Even in 2019 final, they scripted just 9 boundaries, a match which they won eventually. I have already placed the bet. What about you?

Mumbai Indians to have the highest opening stand @ 1.80 (Bet 365)

A slightly risky bet than the previous bet, but it is a 'no pain, no gain' situation, with Delhi Capitals predominantly having a poor run as far as the opening stand is concerned. In the past six matches, the IPL side have scored a total of 107 runs, at a rate of 17.83 runs per match before the fall of the first wicket while conceding 239 runs (almost 40 runs per match), with them having the better opening stand in just 1 of those games. In the last five matches at the venue, the Shreyas Iyer-led side have put on just 27 runs (0, 1, 1, 25, 0), averaging 5.4 runs per match, with them outscored for the opening stand in four of the above-mentioned matches.

In the three matches played between these two sides in the season so far, Mumbai Indians have always had the better opening stand, with them accumulating 115 runs (38.33 runs per match), compared to Delhi Capitals' 5 (1.66 runs per match), out of which last two matches were played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium itself. Meanwhile, Mumbai Indians' top order have been enjoying better form off-late than their counterparts, which is the most important aspect as far as this bet is concerned. So, that's my call. Just go for this bet without wasting time.
