Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore match prediction 33rd match

Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore | Top three bets to make you rich this Saturday

In spite of a loss against Kings XI Punjab, Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore are in a comfortable position in the points table with 10 points from 8 matches, even though a loss in the upcoming match against Rajasthan Royals can change the complexion altogether. On the flip side, Rajasthan Royals need nothing less than win to stay in contention for the championship. With a lot at stake for both the teams, the contest will be worth watching. So, do not miss out on the action.

To make this Saturday more memorable for you, I have already handpicked the top three player bets for you from the market and listed them below. Just go through my analysis and act strategically to win lucrative rewards by the end of the day.

Virat Kohli to score over 28.5 runs @ 1.83 (Sportsbet.io)

What's new in the tale? Do not tell me that Virat Kohli is going to struggle putting up just 29 runs in the upcoming match. That is the standard he has set for us. In the past five matches this season, his scores were - 48, 33 n.o, 90 n.o, 43, 72 n.o, having amassed a total of 286 runs, at a rate of over 100 runs per innings, which is insane, having scored at least 29 runs in each of those matches. In the last match against Rajasthan Royals, earlier this season, the batsman had scored match-winning unbeaten 72-run innings.

Having played five matches at the Dubai International Stadium this season, Kohli has scored a total of 151 runs, at a rate of 37.75 runs per innings. Overall, in eight matches this season, the Indian skipper averages 60.80 runs per innings, which is incredible. In the 185 matches he has played in his IPL career so far, the Delhi-boy has racked up 5716 runs, averaging 38.62 runs per innings. What are you waiting for? Just place your bets.

Jos Buttler to hit over 0.5 sixes @ 1.57 (Bet 365)

It is striking how we have ignored the player so much and especially for this particular bet, with the Englishman one of the cleanest hitters of the cricket ball when it comes to limited overs cricket. In the seven matches he has played so far this season, Jos Buttler has hit a total of 10 sixes, with him hitting at least one in five of those matches. If you are watching him for the first time in a tournament, you might be a little shocked, but that is the way he plays, with him hitting a total of 14 sixes in eight matches he played in the previous edition of the IPL, having struck at least one in six of those matches.

Having played three matches in Dubai this season, the right-hander has struck 4 maximums, with him hitting at least one in each of those games. In the last three matches against Royal Challengers Bangalore, the batsman has hit at least one six in each of those games. Overall, in 52 IPL matches, Buttler has hit a total of 71 sixes, which is equivalent to 1.36 hits per match. In 261 T20s he has played so far, the opener has hit a total of 255 sixes, which is almost equal to 1 six per match. I have already placed my bet. What about you?

Devdutt Padikkal to score over 20.5 runs @ 1.83 (Sportsbet.io)

One of the many youngsters to have hogged the limelight this season, Devdutt Padikkal is a really really special player among the lot. In the eight matches played so far, the batsman has scored a total of 261 runs, at a rate of 32.62 runs per innings, which is incredible for someone who is playing the IPL for the first time. In the above-mentioned matches, he has scored at least 21 runs in five of those matches. In the five matches played in Dubai this season, the southpaw has scored a total of 148 runs (56, 1, 54, 4, 33), at a rate of 29.6 runs per innings, having scored at least 21 runs in three of those matches.

The only T20 tournament he featured in before the Indian Premier League was the 2019-20 Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, in which he was the highest scorer in the tournament, with 580 runs in 12 matches, scoring at a rate of 64.44 runs per innings, having scored at least 21 runs in nine of those matches. Even in the last match against Rajasthan Royals, earlier in this tournament, Padikkal scored a blistering 63-run knock to guide his team to a comfortable win. This is a guaranteed bet and you should not ignore it at all.
