Brendon McCullum has found form

"This is a battle of form sides insofar as Kochi are slap bang in the middle of a golden run and Rajasthan are the opposite"

Ed Hawkins analyses Sunday's clash between two sides at different ends of the form spectrum

Rajasthan
The Royals have lost three in a row and it would appear only rain saved them from making it four against Bangalore. They are in a dreadful rut. But analyse their haemorrhaging of runs against King's XI and it was only Shane Warne and Siddharth Trivedi who were profligate.

Kochi
Kochi are cosy at the moment after taking a while to find their feet. Brendon McCullum is scoring runs while a bowling line up of RP Singh, Vinay Kumar, Muttuah Muralitharan and Ravi Jadeja is purring.

Match odds
This is a battle of form sides insofar as Kochi are slap bang in the middle of a golden run and Rajasthan are the opposite. Still, we would expect Rajasthan to trade lower than [2.30]. Even in their hammering against King's they dipped under [1.80]. Backing-to-lay requires discipline and, of course, time to watch the whole game. But we don't think [1.73] on Kochi is value.

Innings runs
There have been only two matches in Jaipur so far but the wicket has not looked like it's a belter. The first-innings scores read 151 and 159. The average in IPL3 was 153. So the best wager looks like laying 160 runs or more for the side batting first.

Best Bet
Lay 160 first-innings runs or more @ [1.80]
