Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Betting Analysis

Long-serving Abu Dhabi Knight Riders spinner Sunil Narine has been made captain of the side for this year’s ILT20 and he’ll have a big part to play not only as a leader, but also as a bowler. Narine’s spin can often draw mistakes from opponents and backing him to finish this game as the Knight Riders’ top bowler may well prove worthwhile.

Desert Vipers Betting Analysis

One of Desert Vipers’ marquee signings for this campaign has been England white-ball star Sam Curran. The all-rounder should contribute with bat and ball for the Vipers and this appeals from a betting perspective. A move on Curran via both the ‘Team - Top Batter’ and ‘Team - Top Bowler’ markets is appealing.
