2018 Indian Premier League Week 6 Betting Tips
Kings XI Punjab vs Kolkata Knight Riders, Indore (Saturday 8:30pm AEST)
This will be a massive encounter for both the sides, considering the recent downturn of form. While it is still not alarm bells for Kings, three of their last four matches have ended in losses. Capturing their momentum back is very crucial ahead of the Playoffs.
For the Knight Riders, losses to Mumbai Indians have dragged them into the bottom half of the table. They have everything to play for now, as they look to catch up with other contenders. With their erratic form however, that looks a difficult proposition.

Delhi Daredevils vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi (Sunday 12:30am AEST)
The Delhi Daredevils are out of the tournament after their latest loss to the Sunrisers. However, they will not be short of motivation, as the young stars will look to end the season on a high. Even the misfiring foreign imports will be eager to get their game back on track.
RCB are still alive in the tournament, but only by the barest possible margin. Going by their recent form – four losses in five – it is only a matter of time before they join DD on the sidelines.

Sunrisers have built their season on the back of impressive bowling performances. To add to that, they have improved their batting in the recent games and are beginning to show signs of all-round ability. On current form, they look a tough team to beat.
