RR vs LSG prediction
- Result prediction: RR to win
Given RR's stellar form, there is nothing to indicate that their winning habits will come to an end on Wednesday night.
Whilst LSG have posted totals higher than 200 on two occasions this season, they have also scored less than 160 two times.
This inconsistency hands RR the edge, who have made at least 170 runs in all of their innings in 2023.
The league leaders also have the bowling corps required to ensure their run chase is achievable, should they bat second.
RR vs LSG best bet
- Pick: Batsman runs (Shimron Hetmyer) - Over 17.5
- Odds: 1.87 (Dafabet)
Fresh off a half-century, Shimron Hetmyer is primed for another big performance with the bat.
The Guyanese star has scored more than this run total (17.5) in every game this season, and he only looks to be improving.
The main concern is that he is typically sixth in the batting order, but when at the crease, he generally delivers.
RR vs LSG outside bet
- Pick: Any player to score 100
- Odds: 9.40 (Dafabet)
Centuries in T20 cricket are rare, but this IPL season has already seen the feat achieved twice.
So in a hyped top-of-the-table clash, could we see someone stand up and go for a big total?
