Champions League T20 - Rajastan Royals v Otago Volts

Inriguing game .. given Royals home record, and the Volts flair for attacking batting.

Pre-toss, RR 1.80 .. they win the toss, and field.

Royals shorten to 1.72 .. Run Line, 158

Think 1.72 is a lay, and have a big position against RR to start.

Market moving back to 1.75/6 ,, and taking a little profit.

1.80 now .. a nice 8 tick move, for a good start.

Ok, here we go :

Otago 9-0 after 1, Otago favs .. yes favs .. 1.93 .. 31 tick profit, booked ..

Otago 10-0 after 2, RR favs, 1.89 .. flat ..

Tricky to know if Otago are still trying to win the game, or, get enuf score, so Mumbai have harder task to qualify, if front of them ..
