IPL 2024: Match 65 Preview and Predictions

Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs Punjab Kings (PBKS) Preview

Rajasthan Royals have displayed impressive performances since the start of the IPL campaign, as they have booked their spot in the playoff. RR sits in second place with 16 points, having won eight matches of the 12 games they played. The Royals anticipate maintaining their position as the top two teams in the league table advance to Qualifier 1, giving both teams an extra shot at reaching the final of the IPL 2024. RR will hope to end their poor run of form, as they have lost three consecutive matches. They suffered a 5-wicket defeat in their last match against the Chennai Super Kings and will look to bounce back. 

On the other hand, the Punjab Kings have had a poor performance since the start of the IPL campaign, as they sit at the bottom of the table, resulting in an automatic knockout of the playoff race. PBKS have only won four of their last 12 points and have eight points. They suffered 60 runs in their last match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and they will also miss several key players ahead of their penultimate game. 

Prediction: The Rajasthan Royals are the favorites to win against the Punjab Kings as they look to secure a top-two finish alongside the Kolkata Knight Riders. So, we predict a win for RR, and Paripesa offers 1.653 odds.

IPL 2024: Match 64 Preview and Predictions

Delhi Capitals (DC) vs Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) Preview

The Delhi Capitals are in sixth place on the points table, having won six and lost seven of their IPL matches. DC will need to get a crucial win in this match, and I hope an improbable sequence of other results falls in their favor so they can advance to the playoffs. They suffered 57 runs in their last game against Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 47 runs and will be hoping to bounce back from the defeat. 

On the other hand, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) sit in seventh place on the IPL table with 12 points, having lost six and won six of their 12 matches. LSG suffered two consecutive defeats in their games, which can hugely affect their playoffs. They were beaten by 10 wickets in their last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. 

Prediction: LSG has a better chance than DC of making the playoffs, as they have won three of their last four encounters with DC. Based on these, we predict a win for the Lucknow Super Giants, with Paripesa offering 2.014 odds.

IPL 2024: Match 63 Preview and Predictions

The Gujarat Titans will feel confident coming into this game after grabbing a 35-run win against the defending champion Chennai Super Kings at their home ground. GT will hope to get a win, as they cannot afford to drop any points so that they can qualify. The Gujarat Titans sit eighth in the Indian Premier League standings with 10 points after managing to win five of their last 12 matches. 

On the other hand, the Kolkata Knight Riders will aim to have the top spot in the Indian Premier League, which will give them a significant advantage. KKR have already secured their qualification path for the playoffs after their victory by 18 runs over the Mumbai Indians. The Kolkata Knight Riders have won nine of their 12 IPL games and are currently in impressive form, having won four consecutive games.

Prediction: The Kolkata Knight Riders are enjoying good form in the IPL, having won their last four consecutive games, and the KKR will look to continue this impressive form against the Gujarat Titans. So we predict a win for KKR, with Paripesa offering 1.742 odds.

IPL 2024: Match Match 56, 57, 58, 59 and 60 Preview and Predictions

Delhi Capitals (DC) vs Rajasthan Royals (RR)

Delhi Capitals (DC) are currently in sixth place in the IPL table with 10 points from 11 matches. DC have been in good form in their last five IPL games, winning three and losing twice. However, they suffered a 7-wicket defeat in their last match against the Kolkata Knight Riders. DC needs to win this crucial match if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive. A loss could bring other teams like the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Gujarat Titans (GT), and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) back into contention for the playoffs.

On the other hand, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) will look to attain the top spot on the IPL 2024 points table. Rajasthan will also become the first team to book a place in the playoffs if they manage to beat Delhi on Tuesday. RR has performed well since the start of the IPL, having recorded eight wins and two losses.

Prediction: The Rajasthan Royals (RR) have been in great form since the start of the IPL, securing eight wins in their last 10 games. On the other hand, the Delhi Capitals (DC) have only managed to claim five victories in their last 11 games. Moreover, Rajasthan has won three out of the last five matches played against Delhi. Based on these statistics, we predict that the Rajasthan Royals will win the upcoming match, and Paripesa is offering 1.763 odds for this outcome.

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) vs Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)

Sunrisers Hyderabad are currently 11th in the IPL table with 12 points from 11 matches played. SRH have won six of their 11 matches while losing five. SRH will look to return to winning ways after suffering a 7-wicket defeat in their last match against the Mumbai Indians. 

On the other hand, the Lucknow Super Giants have also been in mixed form in their last 11 matches played, recording six wins and losing five IPL games. LSG currently sits in fifth place with 12 points earned. They suffered a 98-run defeat in their last game against the Kolkata Knights Riders. 

Prediction: Both Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Lucknow Super Giants have been in mixed form since the start of the IPL games, but LSG have demonstrated a strong winning record in their last three encounters. We predict a win for Lucknow Super Giant in the match, and Paripesa is offering LSG to win at 2.117 odds. 

Punjab Kings (PBKS) vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)

Punjab Kings (PBKS) will be hoping to win this IPL to give them a chance to make the playoffs. PBKS currently sit eighth in the IPL standings with eight points, having won just four of their 11 matches. They lost by 28 runs to Chennai Super Kings in their last match and will be hoping for an important win in this one.

On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) have shown great form in their recent games, having recorded three consecutive wins. In their last match, RCB showed great improvement, beating the Gujarat Titans by 4 wickets. They will be determined to secure a win in the match to earn a spot in the IPL playoffs. Currently, RCB sits in the 7th position with eight points after winning four matches and losing seven out of 11 games.

Prediction: Both Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) are determined to win this tournament as they basically know how a win will affect their chances of advancing in the league. However, RCB have a slight advantage over PBKS due to their higher net run rate. So we predict Royal Challengers Bangalore to win, and Paripesa gives juicy odds of 1.731 to win.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) vs Mumbai Indians (MI)

The Kolkata Knight Riders have been in impressive form since the start of the IPL matches, as they currently sit at the top of the IPL standings with 16 points. KKR has won 8 out of 11 matches, showcasing their dominance in their matches. KKR performed well in their last match by beating the Lucknow Super Giants by 98 runs. They are currently on a three-match winning streak and anticipate continuing it. 

On the other hand, the Mumbai Indians are already ruled out of the IPL 2024 playoffs race as they have struggled to get a positive result since the start of the IPL campaign. MI has managed to win only four out of their 12 games so far. The Mumbai Indians suffered a 24-run defeat in their last encounter with the table-toppers on their home turf in their recent matches and will be hoping to seek vengeance in the match.

Prediction: Kolkata Knight Riders have displayed an excellent performance since the start of the IPL campaign, while Mumbai Indians have struggled to win. KKR defeated MI in their last encounter by 24 runs, and they will have the confidence to get another win in this match. So we predict the Kolkata Knight Riders to win, with Paripesa offering 1.904 odds.

The Punjab Kings are currently placed sixth in the IPL standings with four points. They have won two and lost two of their four games played so far.

SRH's form has been mixed, winning two and losing two of the four games played, earning them four points. In their last match, they beat the Chennai Super Kings by six wickets. Notably, SRH has a good historical record against PBKS, winning 13 of the 20 matches played between the two teams. Based on this, we predict that Sunrisers Hyderabad will win the game, and Paripesa is offering 1.837 odds.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs Gujarat Titans (GT)

On the other hand, the Gujarat Titans have been in mixed form since the start of the campaign, and they are currently in seventh place in the standings with four points.

Mumbai Indians (MI) vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)

The Mumbai Indians recently put an end to their three-match losing streak with a victory against the Sunrisers Hyderabad, winning by 31 runs. Unfortunately, their poor performance in the IPL campaign so far has left them in eighth place with only four points. Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bangalore have only won once since the start of the campaign, losing three of their last four IPL games. They are currently ninth in the IPL standings, with only two points from five games played. It's worth noting that the Mumbai Indians have won 12 of their last matches against the Royal Challengers Bangalore, making a win for MI seem likely. If you're interested in betting, you can place a bet on MI to win at 1.705 odds on Paripesa.

The Chennai Super Kings will commence their IPL title defense campaign against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. CSK has won 20 out of 31 matches played against RCB in IPL history, making them the favorites to win once again. A win in this match will give CSK a winning start to their campaign and potentially make them the most successful team in IPL history. We predict a win for CSK. Bet on CSk to win on Paripesa at 1.807 odds. 

Punjab Kings (PBKS) vs Delhi Capitals (DC)

PBKS (LLWLL)

Punjab Kings' performance in their last five matches has been disappointing, as they have lost four of them and only managed to secure one victory. It is worth noting that the Punjab Kings have not won an IPL title since the tournament began in 2008. 

DC (LWLLW)

Delhi Capitals have won two of their last five matches and have an excellent record against PBKS, winning three of their last four matches in the Indian Premier League. You can place your bet on DC to win the match on Paripesa at 1.875 odds. 

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) vs Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

KKR (WWLWL)

Kolkata Knight Riders have been in excellent form in their last five matches, winning three and losing two. However, their last match ended in defeat against LSG, with the Lucknow Super Giants beating the Kolkata Knight Riders by just one run. Despite this setback, KKR will look to return to their winning ways, as they have won 13 out of their last 20 matches against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Bet on Kolkata Knight Riders to win on Paripesa at 1.915 odds 

SRH (LLLLW)

Sunrisers Hyderabad are entering the Indian Premier League (IPL) in poor form, having lost their last four consecutive games. This year, SRH will be captained by Australian pacer Pat Cummins. The team, which won the trophy once in 2016, made some significant decisions at the IPL Auctions held at Dubai's Coca-Cola Arena for this season.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)

RR (WLWLL)

The Rajasthan Royals are entering the IPL in mixed form, having won only two of their last five games and lost the remaining three. However, RR won their last game against Punjab Kings by four wickets, which will boost their confidence. They have won two out of three encounters against LSG, so they will be eager to play against them. Place your bet on RR to win on Paripesa at 1.731 odds.

LSG (LWWWL)

Lucknow Super Giants is a relatively new team in the franchise league, but it has been performing remarkably well. In their last four games, LSG has displayed an excellent performance, winning three consecutive games. However, they lost their last game against the Mumbai Indians by 81 runs.

Gujarat Titans (GT) vs Mumbai Indians (MI)

GT (LWLWW)

The Gujarat Titans are one of the latest teams to join the IPL. Despite this, they managed to clinch the IPL title in 2022. They are known as giant killers, having thrashed the Rajasthan Royals by seven wickets in the 2022 IPL finals held in Ahmedabad. In their last five matches, the Titans have won three and lost two, with their last game ending in a defeat to the Chennai Super Kings by five wickets.

MI (LWWLW)

It appears that the Mumbai Indians have changed leadership, with Hardik Pandya being named as the new captain of the team. Nevertheless, the squad is expected to perform at a high level, as they have already won the IPL trophy five times, making them the second team to do so after CSK. In their last five games, the Mumbai Indians have won three and lost twice, indicating a decent performance. Based on this, we predict that the Mumbai Indians will emerge victorious in their upcoming match. Bet on the Mumbai Indians to win on Paripesa at 1.74 odds.
