Cape Town
Cape Cobras v Knights
Cobras convincingly defeated Knights in their previous encounter. Cobras are First in the points table and Knights are Fifth.
Bookmakers are providing an odds of 2/5 on Cobras and Knights are priced at 2/1.
I think the odds are right to say Cobras are favorites, but they are clearly very short. I'll tell you why very soon.
Cobras have a strong batting and bowling line-up on paper. I have no complaints on their batting. The bowling is not up to the mark.
Cobras have given away more runs in their first 15 overs, than they managed to score against their oppositions (Except Knights). Their opponents failed to chase the targets because of score board pressure after getting good starts. On the other hand Knights tend to play aggressively for the first 15 overs.
If I consider the match Cobras v Knights, from 0/2 and 7/3 Knights managed well till 90/3. Soon they were 90/6. Still they were able to post 162.
This is the first match in Cape Town in this series. Chasing is much easier here. Since both the teams have bowling issues, I think the team that is chasing has more chance.
Tip
Chasing team to win.
If Cobras are chasing - 2$
If Knights are chasing - 0.5$
Bank as of 20-Oct - 128.5$
