0:56 almost in 2026. And we've got another action packed show. What is on that show? The outright check for the IPL. The early skirmishes are well, they're underway. it too early to take a view we've got best bets team news strategies trades rankings player win rates and some very strong angles for three games look now super giants versus delhi capitals sunrisers hydrabad versus kolkata night riders kenai versus punjab plus we do give you an akka for bet right and an akka which pays 1446 to one cool we're underway in IPL we're enjoying aren't we quite quite like what we've seen yeah absolutely
1:45 um all very predictable I think really the three favorites of one uh also notably three very easy chases I don't know if that is I don't know if that says something about first time out on these pitches, about it being an advantage, about it being a bit hard to bet early on, or whether it says more about the teams, but we'll get into both the grounds and the teams during the show. Yeah, I suspect you're right on the point about does it say more about the teams and the teams who failed to chase, who failed to defend. Sorry. Rich, we're going to have a look at the outright question. uh in a second it's good to be back on ipl core coley has already won on top bats form guide seems to be holding yeah i mean we we identified
2:36 a couple of teams who we thought would struggle sunriser csk and crikey they look really bad didn't they uh mumbai on the other hand who obviously started as favorites as they do every year they look seriously good i agree with paul about cases it's going to be so hard. The bowling doesn't look great from anyone. I don't know if we've seen a good ball in attack yet. It's obviously still early days, but nevertheless, it's going to be really hard to defend 200. Isn't it? The nature of the grounds, the nature of the pitches, the dew. Um, if you're balling second, you look like you're going to be in big trouble. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 200, not a big score these days. It's certainly not the big score of old. Um,
3:22 And teams just are not afraid of going up to 200 at all. It doesn't bathe them. It probably would have done four or five years ago. Let's have a look at that outright check. It's also a good time to remind you that there is 50% off subscriptions for our VIP Telegram service during IPL and PSL as well. But we are enjoying healthy profits. If you use the code ASHES25, you get 50% off and you can go monthly, you can go yearly. So big savings to be made and we do win money. You can keep track of all the bets there on the PL tracker. You also get access to the VIP chat room. It's particularly important for this podcast because
4:09 our best bets are hugely profitable and so popular that this week we are putting them in the VIP section before this pod goes live. So we're still telling you what is actually going to happen in these games, but to make sure you're getting best prices on these bets, you've got to sign up to the VIP and you also get those bets to your device for every single game as we spot them. Right, IPL outright is looking like this as we record. We expect change, of course, because teams and matches in action all the time. But Mumbai Indians 11 to 4, Sean Dapp, Spredx Sporting, Ladbrokes, Coral. RCB have shortened up fives, spread X sporting. Punjabs eights and Gujarat 17 to
4:56 two. There's the teams which will be moving because they're playing as we go into production. Rajasthan rolls are into nines, they're general. Delhi Capital 12, Sunrise is the same. KKR and LSG four teams, they're all general. There's agreement across those last chunk of teams. Good week for two tournament favourites, bad week for Sunrise and KKR. We'll talk about those teams in more depth. But Paul, anything you spotted on the outright? Well, look, you couldn't have been more impressed with Mumbai and Bangalore. They really were excellent across the board, I thought, bat and ball. But you know me, I'm not one to overreact to one game. like the longer term and also i'm not one to take short prices so i'm not looking at them
5:45 at this stage despite respecting them both hugely i was actually very impressed with rajistan to be honest and i know we sort of originally said we thought there were value and then we had a bit of a wobble because they didn't because sam current bought out but i'm you know mostly kind of go back in i mean surya vanshi really does look exceptional doesn't he he really does look an absolutely spectacular player and if he's going to score at that rate they've got a chance i was happy to see nandre berger get in the starting line up that's another little weak spot for them that might improve and i mean i think the point about rajasthan is that they've got a really strong indian core which is critical absolutely critical in this tournament Yep, Ravage of Days has gone over there from Chenna,
6:33 of course. We did like their balance in our IPL preview show. Rich, any spots for you? I mean, Royal's an example of looking sweet very early on, but early days. Yeah, we've probably been here before with them as well, but I don't want to criticise them too much. The bowling, I've criticised the bowling attacks. but that opening pair of theirs looks really good. Archer and Berger, who I'm a big fan of, I think he's underrated. And I think their home ground, I know there'd been a lot of rain around before Monday's game, but I think they'll bowl well there. Just something I have spotted, and I know we talk about big runs and all that, but the power play scores have obviously been huge. And I don't think
7:19 the market has caught up yet to the six over power play scores. So look, so far, we've had 49, 76, 78, 80, 41, 74. So four from six have gone over 60. Generally priced up, and we'll talk about a game later on, actually, between sort of 55, 58, 60 max. Yeah. I just think it's too low. It hasn't caught up yet, that market anyway. So, you know, if you want it to back big runs and you put off because the lines are so high, the first six over score, that might be the way to get some value. Eek a little bit anyway. Okay. Interesting point, Rich. And if you want to be talking about power play scores, let's just have a look. A bit of a brief
8:05 interlude then. Unexpected, unscripted interlude into power play scores. The team's the best power play scores. from last season. So RCB and Punjab 58 was their average score, but Rajasthan Royals are higher than that at 65. That's well, that's Suravanchi really, isn't it? Doing the business in Jaiswal. Jaiswal is a bit of a forgotten man of Indian batting. And then LSG 55, KKR 55, GT 55, Sunrise is way down at 36, which was I think we can call that statistical anomaly. And then Delhi and Chennai struggling a little bit comparison to some of those numbers down at the bottom of
8:52 52. That was their average. So if you can mix and match teams with strong averages in the past against teams with low averages in the past on your power play match bets, that may well be an angle for you. Or you could start looking at the six over scores for individual teams if you want to take out one element of the equation. Let's start then on some actual matches and finding some best bets for you. Our first game is Look Now Super Giants versus Delhi Capitals. It's Wednesday, 1500. Look Now is the venue 2021. Look Now star
9:38 priced up Bresbet. Evens, Delhi Capitals, across the board. Let's break the tradition and go and get an angle on the ground from Paul because this isn't a typical Indian batting road, is it, Paul? Well, it hasn't been. And do we expect something different or the same? Well, it's mixed. Certainly on average, it's one of the low scorers. The two year run line, median under over, is somewhere between 181 and 195. That's relatively low. You can get very high scores there. I saw one at the end of the season, to a couple actually, well above 200. But generally speaking, it's lower. But the bigger thing is it's a big ground. 60% of matches here have seen 13 or
10:28 fewer sixes. So the sixes line, on average, is only 12.5 to 13.5, which is way down on all the others. All righty. Now let's do some possible 11s. We've got a sixes angle, early doors from Paul. We'll look now. Last 10 games, total match runs 4-1-9-6 against 2-0-1. Markram, Marsh, Paran and Explosive front threes are absolutely loaded up top. to go extremely hard in that power play. Badoni Pant Abdul Samad. That's where it potentially could be going wrong. Shabazz Shami Avesh Digvesh Noor here. Wininder Hassan is a major doubt. I don't think
11:17 he's even taken his fitness test to get his NOC yet from Sri Lanka. So no actual word that he's even in India. So that does weaken. Look now early on. They were bottom on economy last term with the ball, but they were fourth for batting strike rate. Samad subbing in and out for Mayan Gagreb, we think. Delhi Capitals, total match runs 4-1-7-4 against 1-8-1. Rahal Nisanka, Perel, Axar Stubbs, Miller, Ashutosh, Vipraj, Kaldip Nghidi, Nata Rajan, And Samir Rizvi, the batting sub coming into the team, probably for Natharajan
12:03 in and out with those two. No start at the moment. He said he's not turning up just yet. His Instagram post did seem to suggest it was going to be a while as well. Ben Duckett, of course, already ruled himself out. This Delhi Capitals team are the opposite of Lucknow. So they were eighth on strike rate, but fourth for bowling economy. We've got contrasting styles here. Rich, look now, batting side, Dele a bowling side. Who wins? Yeah, I think they could go under the radar look now, just generally this season. I think if there's a dark horse, it could be them. You just look at the way the game's played and the way the game is going to be played in this tournament and, you know, Dele, really win it playing the way they play whereas look now i
12:51 think that top three they could take down anyone this showed on occasions last season so i'm going with them i think they'll have a good season any any issues that align up rich i'm looking for reassurance and gede's going to play because i think we're on him on 25s on vip the top delhi bowler i mean we don't like people getting injured of course but it is quite good news isn't it that stark's not there but that's looking about the best bet the tournament isn't it really because he's going to get a start now he's going to get a chance to prove himself um what was it 12 wickets in seven at t20 world cup he was brilliant um so yeah i think he'll start uh we'll talk about him in a minute but no i agree with your lineups uh i'm really interested again we'll talk in a minute about where axa is going to batting now i do
13:38 hope he gets the sort of top four five slot oh who's going to win the match I've got to be for a look now. I mean, actually you say it's evens, evens. When I look this morning, it's obviously come in because Dele were clear favourites this morning, which I can't have at all. I mean, first of all, just to say one thing I missed out on the ground guides, by the way, there's a big chase of bias here in the last two years, which, and we've seen that already. So really you wouldn't want to be taking short on about someone, but no, I can't have Dele at all without Mitchell Stark. I mean, he was really critical to their improvement last year and it wasn't that good they're very ordinary with a bat um nissanka is critical for me nissanka and nigidi are both critical
14:23 for me it doesn't really say a lot when you're relying on two overseas players you know to get you out of it um and i really like look now i i've got massive issues with their bowling absolutely but it's you know that could come around if players are fit But the bang, the top six, really is outstanding. I think they've got runs galore. And talking about it being a big ground, lots of hard-to-hit sixes, they are so much better equipped in that regard. Yeah, nice little nudge my way, actually, Paul. We were talking about it on our group, weren't we, earlier? A big edges on sixes match bet here, potentially. Look now, the second-highest six-hitters. in the tournament last season against the third lowest.
15:13 And in terms of sixes per bull's face from your cumulative top six, there's a 3% swing in Lucknow's favour. I know that doesn't sound a lot, but when we're talking about, you know, a good percentage six hitter batter going at sort of about 10%, that is quite a big number. Now that bat has already gone on our VIP this is where you need to sign up and get involved because we've got odds against on look now to win this sixes match bet it and they won't be odds against anymore so that's why we're taking the value early um what else happens in the game rich I do like Aksar Patel player performance and form tapered off a bit towards the back
16:01 end of the season but I mean even if you just like take his last eight which I'm looking at now, you know, comfortably over 30, five in a row. If we've got him buying up the order, he's a terrific batsman. And his current player performance line with a float of thumbs is 35. So I think I'd be an overs play there, particularly just looking at the way they're set up, really. He's probably going to have to bat in the top five. He's got some finishes down there. So he's almost like a proper batsman in there now. So I think that's a little bit low for someone who probably bought four overs as well. and will probably throw his toys out the pram if he doesn't bat where he wants as well that's i think he will be making the decision where uh where he bats um paul you got anything else to add on this game before we go
16:50 to player win rates yeah just to first of the unique one of my best bets with that um sixes line fantastic bet but just a build on that as well statistics So last season, LSG hit 152, so Delhi's 109. But remember, this is LSG, whose home ground is the least six-friendly ground in the tournament, and Delhi, which is certainly in the top three, top six hitting grounds in the tournament, and nails that advantage. Now, you also mentioned the power play. So that's the alternative angle, isn't it? Back LSG to win the power play. I mean, really, there's no context. Marsh... markrum or an if that's maybe poor and first is rahul who is not quality batsman but not that quick and debutant
17:39 in this anchor and perel so that's a solid one i would also just say on one thing about the bank because i said it's low for scoring interestingly the last three years the season opener has been pretty good so you saw one nine three 1-9-9 first inning scores and then a 1-7-1 that wasn't nearly good enough. So you probably will still see a high scoring game. All right, let's look at player win rates and players to follow. We have got a bet right boost requested for the Cricket Betting Podcast listeners for this game. It's KL Rahul, two top score for his team, 26% win rate. a bet right of boosted to nine to four for ran
18:29 is 32 win rate you can get 130 sky bet power betfair sportsbook um with the ball you're two to follow either team on top win rate there's cold deep 28 three to one sky bet power betfair sportsbook to be top delhi um bowler and then dig vash also a spinner diglase rathi who rather lives up to his uh surname he can be a little bit troublesome he gets a bit excited out on the field 30.7 just the asterisks by that though because it's 13 game study sample he probably does return to the mean um but 92 sky bet power betfair sports but for him rich who do you like i like loads here well two really strong ones i think in gidi the
19:18 12th In 70-20 World Cup games at a strike rate of 13, he's got to be on your radar. But the bet I prefer for Nkidi is two wickets at 9-4, or two or more wickets at 9-4 with 3.65 from Betway. I think that's really strong. I mean, just looking at those international stats I've given you, I think that's a bet. I mean, three wickets is 8-1. I think what I'd do is I'd front load up on two wickets, and I'd have to have a few quid on the 8-1. McHale Rowell to make a 50, it's 5-2 with bet 3-6-5 and Boyles. He made an unbeaten 50 in this fixture last year. And again, Sloan's steady wins the race in this. I'm not bothered. You
20:04 know how he's going to play. I've just double-checked there. I wasn't actually on my phone. I was checking the price. It's held 3-6-5, still 5-2. So I think that's very fair, and you don't have to take on Nassanka, who I am a big fan of. Paul, you are a Nassanka fan, but do you watch how he goes or do you want to talk about somebody else entirely? I want to watch how he goes. First of all, you mentioned Digvesh 9-2. That's just obvious value. That's got to be the wrong price. He was their best bowler last season by far. But the bet I really like is I like the two look now openers in the milestones. 3-1 Markram for a 50, 3-1 Mitchell Marsh for a 50. So Markham landed five 50s in 13 matches last year, so comfortably
20:54 profitable. Four in 12 in South Africa. And Marsh got seven in 13 games last year. So comfortably profitable for both of them. Expecting decent batting conditions first time out. No reason at all not to back both of them. I think it's gone under the radar how well Michael played at that T20 World Cup. I mean, he was pretty much favourite to be top tournament run scorer. And then he imploded against New Zealand. He was caught out. I mean, it was a really poor decision, wasn't it? He clearly bounced a Dowell Mitchell catch. He wouldn't have made a difference if they'd have got beat, wouldn't they? If they were that bad. But that's how good he was. And then obviously they went out. Everyone forgot about South Africa and how well he played. He was the best batter in the tournament going into those last stages. i'm still
21:42 i'm still nursing the wounds what's on him each way well as a self as a south african backer so am i so am i uh righty uh we are underway on your ipl betting hub for bet right brought to you by the cricket betting podcast uh quick stats to ai also our partners have a load of fancy new offerings for the IPL. So go and check out their updated stats site to make all the key decisions for your bets. I mean, really is the best website in the world for cricket betting stats. If there is a market, they have got the stats to help you wager on it. So go and check it out and it'll help you make reasoned, sensible decisions. And if you're doing that, you're going
22:30 to be long-term, you're going to be up. You're going to be absolutely fine. That's what the stats are there for. We've got two more games to go. We've still got those best bets still to come. Plus our bet right, Acker, as promised. But next up, it's potentially an absolute cracker. I can't wait to talk about these two teams. It's Kolkata Nightriders versus Sunrisers Hyderabad. Thursday, Eden Gardens 1,500. A genuine choice affair evens the pair. KKR with Hills, Betford, Quinnbet. Sunrisers with 3,65. star sports priced up. Bresba AK bets. I think there is an angle here on this game, but we'll get to it. We'll tee it up for you. Let's do the possible 11s for you. And the stats. KKR
23:16 match runs four in the last 10. 1-4-9 against 1-8-8. Rahane, Allen, Green subbing out for Tiagi and in batting first, bowling second. Bowling first. Raghavanchi, Rinku, Ramandeep, Roy, Noreen, Varun, Arora, Muzarabani. I've got a view on KK. I know we're probably supposed to be taking strong views early on, but what an absolute mess they've made of this. Rahane was complaining that Green couldn't bowl. He's been basically banned from bowling by Cricket Australia for 10 to 12 days.
24:01 So it's quite simple. You just don't play him. I mean, they needed Green to be bowling in this because they're a bowler short. And then they've split up Seafoot and Allen to make room for Green. It's absolutely bonkers stuff. If you don't want to play Tim Seafoot and you're a bowler short, you have to play Ratchin Ravindra at number three because then he'll give you some overs with spin. I'm really concerned about what KKR are thinking. Luckily they're playing Sunrisers who aren't doing much sink in themselves either. Head being subbed in and out for David Payne, Abhishek, Isham, Reddy, Klassen, Aurora, Verma, Doobie, Harschel, Unadkat. Two sides who look absolutely desperately weak with the
24:50 ball. KKR lost three first choice bowlers. Green who can't bowl, won't bowl. Sunrisers third bottom on economy. Dreadful, dreadful performances against Mumbai Indians and RCB respectively, all pointing to a batting dominated match. Surely, Paul, does the Eden Gardens round guide agree? It really does. Yeah. So if you look over the last couple of years, the pile line is above 200 in the low 200s. 220 or more is only a nine to four shot. The sixes line is 20.5 to 21.5. As a
25:36 possible angle here then, the flutter firms go 188.5, both teams first in these runs. Now granted, that does involve risking the other side might bat first and not make 1-8-8, right? Make mean you can't win. But... This is a really high scoring ground Eden Gardeners, 9 in the last 13 first innings were 180 or more. So I think you take the 188.5 now and expect it to go off at whoever bats first is going to go up above 200 because that's certainly what it should be. And as you said, two really bad bowling sides as well. Also the sixes line is low at 19.5 with flutter. do you think um betfair exchange parline will be then kkr 183.5 at
26:24 vankede against mumbai indians probably a little skinnier because it was basically four overs of boomer so you you think it might go higher than that 188. oh much higher i think 205 i think well i think whoever backs first it'll be above 200 because it's eden gardens i mean you know If you take the Wankito the other day, it was billed at the pitch report as the greenest pitch there's ever been at the Wankito, right? And the run line is lower there, right? This is a really reliable runs ground. I'd look even more at Sunrise, sorry, because Sunrise's batting line line is always high. So I just think 1.88.5 is too low. Okay. I think that probably is the rational choice, actually, Paul. I like the way you filtered that one out. That is
27:13 probably the best way to play. I certainly wouldn't mind being on 1.5 total match runs at all because even if it could go a little bit pear-shaped for one of those teams batting first, it's still below the par. Rich, what about... I mean, how do you bet on this game in terms of match odds? I mean, they could turn out to be as incompetent as each other. these two and through k power's i have sympathy for them but they seem to have had a bit of a being caught in sort of blind panic because they've lost so many players and they and they they've picked a completely nonsensical 11. yeah the thing is that i mean i've got probably got a little bit less
28:01 into it the pay the chunk of money for an overseas rookie keeper batsman in seafair Now if you're not going to play him for someone and instead play someone who's injured, then that just seems a completely poor decision. They must have had an idea a while back that actually we'd prefer green. So why didn't they just leave Seif away at the auction and get another bowler? And I know they've had injuries to bowlers, so clearly they've been caught shot there, but why do you spend a chunk of money on a wicketkeeper batsman overseas if you're going to pick someone who's injured anyway? That's a different argument. Both bowling attacks look really poor. I'll give Sunrisers some credit though. I mean, they were in big trouble against, I know they got walloped in the end, big trouble early on against RCB, but the middle order looked
28:47 strong, didn't it? You know, they finished strongly. Klaarsson made runs as well. Brilliant catch. So actually, they're batting... probably got a bit more depth to it whereas conversely I thought KKF fell away at Mumbai. They don't look to have with Russell gone I wonder if finishing is going to be an issue for KKR. The reason I bring it up is we used to talk a lot about big finishes in this KKR team but Rinku I know Bunro was bowling but he made a mess of like three full tosses that he just clothed there was a no ball that he couldn't clear out of the ground so I do wonder if KKR I still think this is a runs ground but I just I just think generally they might not have the finishing power that they did a few years ago. Rinku, another one of those players whose star is on the way and had a breakout season, didn't
29:35 he? I can't even remember when it was, what, two, three seasons ago? And it's just done basically nothing for a couple of years now, Rinku. Right. Let's talk about something else that might happen in the game. Paul, you can certainly answer a question about match odds. What else have you got? Well, first of all, I mean, I completely wholeheartedly agree with both of you. I mean, Rinku Singh couldn't have been less impressive yesterday. It was terrible, wasn't it? It was awful, right? And you're right. I mean, he had that breakout where he hit five in the final over, I think, against Gujarat. I think it was. And he's really done nothing. He really looks ordinary. And again, like you talk about their decision-making about the auction. Well, that's where they're missing, isn't it? It's a team of top all the
30:21 players. I mean, you could put Narayan in as opener. right as well here if you wanted to but they've lost Andre Russell their like finisher for the last 10 years not really replaced him and now you're just relying on Rinku so not into them at all I think Sunrises are much better equipped for a run fest and for the sixes fest and that to me is the best bet of the game for me is over 10.5 Sunrises 60s that's just part look how well they played the other day look how many sixes they got even with just with Head and Sharma failing, right? I mean, I just think they're going to make mincemeat at Eden Gardens. One final bet, again, same principle on the runs, both teams to score 210, five to one. That's one four out of 13 at Eden
31:09 Gardens last two years. They've actually, Flutter firms have put the, both to score 200 line wrong. So I can't see exactly what it is. I think based on that it's going to be 2 to 1, 9 to 4, that's 1, 6 out of 13, so it's barely above evens, it's going to be value. One more nugget from Rich. Right, agree with Paul, 6's ground individual player, 6's mark, it's a great 3, 6, 5 bet where the best one I found, Finn Allen over 1.5, 6's at 5 to 6 with 3, 6, 5, I mean if you can get that then I mean, you want to be robbing the granny's pearls for that, don't you? Surely. I mean, this was the ground where Shimmer and Hetmai was hitting sixes galore in the World Cup. And just, I did mention earlier, power play scores.
31:57 KKR's power play score, Anova's play at 58.5. They top-odded really well against Mumbai. It was the middle order that let them down. All righty, super stuff. We've got some player win rates for you. Sunrisers, by the way, can see there's 53 in power play last season and KK, I can see there's 56 in power play last season. Just throw that in there as we're talking about power plays. I would tick those numbers up, give them the ground. That's for sure. What have we got here with players to follow on your win rates? Well, Ishan is your top Sunrisers at 28%. He's just one. I don't like to go back to back on these players. So next best, Abhishek, 23%. uh seven
32:43 to two generally uh about 100 to 30 hills uh rohani 35 but he's just one 72 hills see if if he plays 72 bet right is a strong chance see if it is winning at a better rate than that uh ragu vanshi is at number four so looks big at sixes generally um but there's no joy on win rate that's right on how often he wins but um Number four is too big. He's too big at six to one when he's back at number four. With the ball, very interesting that Varun Chakravarti is down at 17.8% on win rate on top bowler now in IPN the last two scenes. That's a very, very poor return. Noreen is winning just under 26%
33:31 for KKI. You get four to one with the Blatter firm. Sunrise as your top man is in a cap, 26%. Clear value with AAA, 18 to five. I like Ishan Kishan, he's in fantastic form. He's the most informed batsman around. To hit a 50, which he's done in six of his last 12 T20 matches, is 3-1. Alternatively, you could do the player performance at 36.5 with the flat-up firms. He's beaten that nine of his last 12 and he's of course the wicket keeper so you could always get a stump in and really be in the chair. And also adding Sunil Narayan at 21.5, won eight out of 13 last
34:21 year. Always a chance he's going to be elevated up the order. Richard, have I asked you about players? No. no i want to follow up on what paul said about narine i mean he would the couple of years ago he was opening the bat in the mere condors i don't think it'll happen yet but if if if the wheels do come off this side they'll start shopping and changing more than me kk are renowned for that anyway um And you might just see at some point, they'll say, right, okay, Rahane can bat anywhere in that top four. I mean, he's never really been an opening T20. They might say, let's just go back to Narayan at the top of the order, then we can get another bowler in our bowling's week. I don't think that'll happen yet, but by game four, five, six, it might be. He's 18-1 for top KK Arbasa. It's just one we're going
35:09 to have to keep an eye on. But for the here and now, Raghavan Shee, he just looks for coming, man. Ed's run the numbers and he looks a bit of value, but I just think his best years are ahead of him. His best days are ahead of him. He's really improving rapidly and maybe not the next big thing, but certainly the next big thing for KKR. So six to one is too big. Yeah. Won't be around for long, not sixes. No. He's going to do good things, I think. Right. That's two games down. We've still got one more to go, but it's Aka Baka time. we have picked out the bet right akka bet for you we're using our win rates as a guide so across those two matches plus uh a bonus pick from pakistan super league which will also be a win rate

37:33 hit. I think we're managing that so far. Best bet still to come. One final game. Just have a quick look at and try and point you in the right direction. Chennai versus Punjab. Chimdambaram. Friday, 1500. Punjab playing as this pod goes into production. So we're looking at specific angles. Chennai hammered by the Royals. No Brevis, no Dhoni, no Ellis. Rich mitigating circumstances for Chennai, I think. don't know whether you agree i know register rolled well but if the toss had gone the other way or rather if rajasthan had been batting first i think we might have seen a different result do you agree yeah i do agree with that you're crucial and you know
38:19 i was a henry back when i was dying for him to to get a go on that the wicket had been on well if henry got if that's a great example of how betting can go against you if you're on henry fair performance wickets if Chennai bowl first, he wins all day. Yeah, because just for some context for those who might not have been following, it rained right up until the kickoff, basically. The wicket had been under covers and it had been under covers all the previous day. So, I mean, actually, well, beautifully, Berger swung the ball around and then obviously, it's dried out and got easy to bat on um even the royals i've made that after um that said i thought csk were particularly poor in the field i mean some sloppy fielding some drop catches in there one off henry as well i'm not bitter um so so they
39:06 were poor it's more the absences that concern me because i think ellis is a brilliant death bowler and has probably turned himself into a borderline world-class just all-around T20 bowler, but Brevis, he transformed them last year and it's a side strain, missed the first game, I'd be surprised if he gets up and ready for this game quickly and I think they really need him in that middle order. Yeah, I think Brevis missing at least the first two. Side strain's not a great injury for a six-hitter. Paul, a little bit of you on Chennai, too early, I mean, we weren't keen on them anyway, were we? Yeah, look, I'm going to just I think my role here is to play devil's advocate because if you go back to the preview Punjab and my outright tip and Chennai are putting a potential good value to finish bottom.
39:54 So obviously I'm not that keen on Chennai. I don't really rate the bowling. I think they're overrated. But you can't really read anything into that first game. As you said, the conditions were just immensely favourable to the team bowling first. And also, you can't really measure the batting yet because if you look at last season, they didn't have Sandju Sampson. Guy Acquad only played a few games at the start. Revis only came in for a few games at the end. They could improve. I'm not going to put them up here. I definitely prefer Punjab because they're my pick. But I'm just saying, don't overreact to that first game. Yeah.
40:41 I don't want to upset you, Paul, but it wouldn't be a bad thing if Gujarat beat Punjab, perhaps, to get a bit of sugar in the Punjab price match.
