Punters are Back With IPL

Cricketing activities stopped from March following the Covid-19 breakout. As soon as the news of IPL finally happening broke, punters started gearing up for this mega event. As per sources betting market will fetch bets worth INR 20,000 crores. 

IPL began on 19th September and two weeks have gone by. MI was the clear favorite and they have proved the punters right as well as they have won 4 out of their six encounters. The betting meter shows that the maximum amount of punter's participation has been noticed during RCB's matches.

They have had a mixed season thus far but are certain to make it to play-offs as per the odds. Most of the final sessions have passed and the punters have made a lot of money as they have backed the big-hitting prowess of the likes of Kieron Pollard, Eoin Morgan, and Marcus Stoinis among others. It has been observed that punter from India have placed maximum bets and have made the maximum money. 

Tips for Upcoming Matches

Delhi Capitals have emerged as one of the favorites and with the strong core of Indian players along with 2 quality international fast bowlers, they are backed by bookmakers to make it to the play-offs. However, they failed miserably against SRH on a wicket which was slow and low. Hence the pitches will become slow and low as soon as we enter the 4th week of the IPL. Bowlers will come into play and the team which has the best spinners can turn things around.

With Kane Williamson getting fit, SRH who is languishing at the bottom half can still make it to the play-offs. Kings XI Punjab too can bring in Mujeeb instead of an overseas fast bowler who has hardly yielded them any dividends. Ravi Bishnoi has proved that he can deliver and with the inclusion of MUjeeb they will have a settled bowling line up as well. Delhi Capitals have lost one of their key spinner in Amit Mishra. They still have 2 quality spinners in Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel who have been among the most economical bowlers of IPL 2020. Punters from India have cashed in on spinners and have backed them in IPL 2020. 

Battles to Watch Out For

All 8 teams will lock horns this weekend and the betting market is supposed to pour in big bucks. The punters will be active throughout as the weekend presents doubleheaders. Kings XI are in a must-win situation from here on and so are CSK. Kedar Jadhav might be dropped after his performance against KKR on Wednesday. For Kings XI Punjab, one of their biggest buys Maxwell has failed to deliver but punters can back him as he is a game-changer. 

The Bottom Line

IPL will soon enter the second phase and hence the bookmakers too have geared up for the exciting doubleheaders that are coming this weekend. Punters favorite teams MI and RCB have delivered and as per bookmakers punters have made significant money in IPL 2020. IPL 2020 has seen more betting than the World Cup 2019 and in days to come, you might see the charts going up even further.

KIngs XI is one team which can turn things around and hence try backing them in upcoming matches. Indian betting market has increased its share from last year and it will continue to grow in the coming events such as Big Bash and India’s tour of Australia.
