Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders | Player Bets which will Mint Money

Delhi Capitals will lock horns with Kolkata Knight Riders in match number 16 of the Indian Premier League 2020 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, in Sharjah, on October 3, on Saturday evening.

Two heavyweight sides Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders will collide on Saturday evening and whoever wins, will claim the top spot on points table (although temporarily). Both the Capitals and the Knight Riders have got off to a good start to their campaign winning two games each and losing one respectively. It remains to be seen who comes out on top at the end of the day on Saturday as both teams are in very good form. It will be really interesting to see if the two teams tinker with the team combination ahead of this fixture as of now it looks like both the captains Shreyas Iyer and Dinesh Karthik are likely to make at least one change to their playing XI considering the venue - Sharjah Cricket Stadium, which offers a run fest! While these two sides gear up for tomorrow's fixture, let's take a look at the three player markets I have dug out especially for you guys to bet on.

Shubman Gill to score at least 25 runs

Tonight we are going to engage in a discussion about an emerging wonder boy of Indian cricket - Shubman Gill. If you have watched him bat closely in this current season of the Indian Premier League, you must have taken a note of his authority and prowess with which he times the cricket ball. To no one's surprise, Gill is the highest run scorer for Kolkata Knight Riders with 124 runs in just three matches. Shubman Gill is averaging 62.0 in the current season of the IPL with the bat for Kolkata Knight Riders. This is his third season in the IPL and his batting average has not gone below 32.88, which is quite remarkable for a 20-year-old. He has already piled up 901 runs in 0 T20 matches in his career at an impressive average of 36.04. The last time he played against Delhi Capitals, Gill posted a score of 65 runs from just 39 balls and that should give him quite a lot of confidence going into this fixture. LeoVegas is offering odds of 1.87 for Shubman Gill to score at least 25 runs against Delhi Capitals on Saturday night at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium and the kind of form the youngster is in, it should be a cakewalk!

Expect 25 runs from the bat of Shreyas Iyer as well

The Delhi Capitals skipper have looked in good shape and touch but have not really converted those decent starts to bg scores. To be honest, we are okay with him scoring 25 runs because that will help us win quite a lot of money on Saturday night. In three matches so far in the IPL 2020, Shreyas Iyer has scored 82 runs at an average of 27.33. However, in the previous season of the Indian Premier League, the classy right-hander racked up 463 runs at an average of 30.86. In the season prior to that, he was even better as Iyer had 411 runs to his name in 10 matches at an average of 37.36. In his overall, Indian Premier League career, Shreyas has featured in 65 matches and has 1763 runs against his name at an average of 30.39. Shreyas Iyer has the highest runs when it comes to head-to-head encounters with 290 runs under his belt in 10 matches at 32.22. Now, the scenarios I have mentioned in this section so far, seemed to be working in our favour perfectly and I believe you should head over to the LeoVegas website, which is offering odds of 1.87 for Shreyas Iyer to score at least 25 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders in the upcoming fixture.

Kagiso Rabada to pick up over 1.50 wickets

This market might look really tricky for you but if you actually pay a little bit of attention to the statistical details I am about to mention, you won't find it tricky anymore and that's a word! We are looking at one of the best in business and also in the Indian Premier League 2020 edition - Kagiso Rabada! The South African speedster has been the backbone of Delhi Capitals bowling unit and has picked up 7 wickets in just 3 matches in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League, which is an average of more than 2 wickets per game. Rabada was the second highest wicket taker in the previous edition of the IPL with 25 scalps to his name in just 12 matches, which again is an average of more than two wickets per game. In his last 8 Indian Premier League games, Rabada has picked up 19 wickets and that is an average of 2.4 wickets per match. Surprisingly, in these 8 games, the South African has picked up a minimum of two wickets! The last time he played against Kolkata Knight Riders, Rabada might have leaked a few runs but he did manage to pick up a couple of wickets. LeoVegas is offering odds of 2.10 for Kagiso Rabada to take over 1.50 wickets against Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday night and that should be a big win for us!
