Recent IPL headlines

There was a recent IPL code of conduct in the match between RCB (Royal Challengers Bangalore) and LSG (Lucknow Super Giants).

RCB’s South African captain Faf du Plessis, was fined Rs 12 lakhs in match 15 for maintaining a slow over-rate (level 1 offence 2.2 of IPL’s Code of Conduct) in a game that took place at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Monday, April 10th.

In other news, England’s 32-year-old right-handed, right-armed medium-opening batter Jason Roy was signed by KKR (Kolkata Knight Riders) for a reported fee of INR 2.8 crore for the remainder of the season.

When Roy last played in the IPL in 2021, he played one season for SRH (Sunrisers Hyderabad). He was brought in to replace Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan who is unavailable for the rest of the season, and Shreyas Iyer, who is out of action due to an injury in his lower back, which he still hasn’t recovered from.

IPL match predictions

Let’s take a look at a few predictions for some upcoming IPL matches, starting with the Thursday, April 13th match between the Punjab Kings (PBKS) and the Gujarat Titans (GT).

A safer bet would be to put your money on the Gujarat Titans to win this match. If you look at the odds, they are currently priced at around 4/5 in the UK fractional odds format, which means they have a 55.60% chance (implied probability rate of winning) compared to the Punjab Kings’ 48.80% chance of winning the match outright (with 21/20 odds).

When you convert GT’s 4/5 odds into decimal odds, it’s 1.80, and in American/moneyline odds, it’s -125. When you convert PBKS’ 21/20 fractional odds into decimal odds, it’s 2/05, and in American/moneyline odds, it’s 105.

Don’t worry if you miss this match because we also have predictions for the upcoming match on Friday, April 14th, between the Kolkata Knight Riders and the Sunrisers Hyderabad.

This match is too tough to predict who will win. For example, you will see that most online bookmakers currently have them both priced at around 10/11 (which is -110, or 1.91), with a 52.40% chance. In other words, either team could win.

Which team can win the league outright?

If you’re looking to place an outright bet on which team might win the league, a safer bet would be the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) – the current odds-on favourite at 4/1 (which is 400, or 5.00) with a 20% implied probability rate. Let’s take a quick look at some more odds:

  • Gujarat Titans – currently the second odds-on favourite team to win the IPL outright. They are priced at around 9/2 (450 or 5/50) with an 18.20% chance of winning
  • Rajasthan Royals – currently priced at 5/1 (500, or 6.00), with a 16.70% chance of winning the league outright
  • Chennai Super Kings – currently priced at around 11/2 (550, or 6.50), with a 15.40% chance of winning

The other teams that are in the league that are least likely to win are Kolkata Knight Riders (currently priced at around 11.00 in decimal odds), the Mumbai Indians (approx. 12.00), the Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Punjab Kings (both priced at around 15.10), and the Delhi Capitals.

DC are the least favourite to win at around 41.00, which only gives them a 2.40% implied probability rate of winning this year’s IPL.

What to remember when betting online

Even though the odds may seem overwhelmingly in favour of a certain outcome, that doesn’t mean to say this outcome will actually occur. In other words, don’t forget that no bets are ever guaranteed.

When placing bets with your hard-earned cash, remember that risks are involved and never to spend more money than you originally intended. Therefore, try to place strategic bets, gamble responsibly, and don’t chase your losses.

Take your time to read the latest team news before placing a bet. Learn the different cricket betting markets and try to understand what the odds for each event are telling you.

Never place outside bets that are not likely to occur, and try to manage your bankroll by setting deposit limits where possible. Also, don’t treat sports betting as a job. It’s only supposed to be fun. You may get lucky sometimes, so if you do, remember to withdraw your winnings.
