Desert Vipers v MI Emirates best bets
Vipers, last year's runners-up, are struggling. Their hopes of going one better this year look forlorn following defeat by Knight Riders (twice) and Sharjah.
We've said before that we're just not keen on the balance with Wanindu Hasaranga batting at No 4. Even so, a bowling attack comprising Shaeen Afridi and Matheesha Pathirana should be doing better.
Emirates are top of the tree with four wins and one defeat. They've thumped the opposition in their last three.
Top-bat bettors were also frustrated that Alex Hales, who we've followed closely, was subbed-in meaning that he was voided on the market. Of course he went on to win.
Durban Super Giants v Pretoria Capitals

Durban Super Giants v Pretoria Capitals best bets
Durban have already qualified for the play-offs so there is a possibility they take their foot off the gas against Capitals.
Still, Capitals know their big games are still to come. They have two matches against MI Cape Town in what is a mini play-off for the last four.
We are beyond irritated with Durban's use of Heinrich Klaasen. The best white-ball hitter in the world batted at No 6 last time. It's a lesson in how to waste resources and there would be some justice if such a braindead tactic were to cost them the title.
Thankfully, Sportsbook have priced Klaasen relatively fairly. The 11/26.50 is worth an interest. There's a small chance he gets bumped up at least one spot if Durban decide to drop the struggling Tony de Zorzi. For Capitals Phil Salt is due on win rates and he has been boosted to 10/34.33.
