Punjab - Mumbai (Total sixes: 13.5) A relatively indifferent game today for the Indian Premier League, since Mumbai can only hope for a playoff entry, while Punjab has secured his entry to the playoffs and will very hardly lose one of 2's first places to take advantage for the final. But he would like to hold the first place on the board so he can go with seat advantage to the end.
With victory today he has a golden chance to move away from Chennai, who lost yesterday, but in a game T20 to risk in such a low performance is not worth it. On the other hand, Mumbai is the champions and surely the champion's heart is important when you are crammed into the ropes. Mumbai with a victory here can now hope for a good playoff entry after having the latest 2 games at home with opponents in the same situation.
But betting Indians to win in Punjab without Malinga in the team is more than madness. Punjab is a team that plays so aggressively that if it finds weak bowling over it can break it. Two times this year they managed to hunt and cover 205 score, and no team can feel that it can trouble these types if they do not score above 185-190.
A bet that I think has a good chance of coming out of this game is the six. In both teams there are very good batters. Punjab has Maxwell, who is the first in the six-legged league to date, and frames with the incredible talent of Vohra and Sehwag, Bailey and Miller, all of which can make big shots. In Mumbai there are Pollard, Hussey, Gautam, Sharma and Anderson, who also have strong blows. In the previous game between the two we had 15 sixths. I think they can meet this limit today, as they will have a bigger aggression in their game, since they both want the victory.
