IPL starts on Saturday 28th March and we will keep this thread for all bets throughout the tournament.

Latest outright betting from WSB below, odds correct at time of this post.



All IPL tips are most welcome here

Put a brief article together to cover the first 5 matches, 28th March to 1st April which sees all the teams get one game under their belt. Will add some more picks in due course, nothing to adventurous for me for now. 

Preview 28th March to 1st April  

Saturday 28th March RCB v Sunrisers  
Player Performance Heinrich Klaasen over 28.5 points at 0.87/1 with WSB 

Sunday 29th March Mumbai Indians v KKR 
Most sixes Mumbai Indians at 0.77/1 with Sportingbet

Remaining picks to be posted nearer their match days. 

Will miss the first few matches but here are some outrights

Top bowler
A Singh  @  15/1

Top Batsman
Samson  @  15/1

KKR Top Batsman
Rahane  @  7/2

GT Top Bowler
Rabada  @  4/1

Name the Finalists
Mumbai Indians + Delhi Capitals  @  18/1

RCB v Sunrisers

Sunrisers over 61.5 runs after 6 overs 87/100 @ WSB
1st Over a Six Scored - Yes 53/20 @ Pokerbet
Sunrisers over 199.5 runs 86/100 @ Sunbet

Head, Abhishek, Kishan, Klaasen. More than enough fire power for the above bets, reckon pitch won't be full of tricks either. Both bowling lineups missing a few key bowlers.

Pitch and conditions | Kevin Pietersen and Danny Morrison: 65 meters on one side, 64 on the other. 73 meters down the ground. Weather conditions are good. Set for a lovely, lovely, lovely batting display. The surface has got a beautiful covering of grass. Yes there are a few of bare patches. Do I think they will make too much of an impact - I'm not so sure. You see the size of these players, the muscles of these players, the sizes of their bats

Let's go 🍀

A near clean sweep last night, took only 4 deliveries to be ensured of a profit on the night.

MI v KKR
MI has a superior record in this fixture at the Wankhede and should win, but 5/10 doesn't excite in T20 cricket.
SKY top MI bat & MI to win 9/2 @ Sunbet

QDK and Rohit have struggled against Narine in the past, it might be worth a risk for KKR to open the bowling with Narine. MI might also decide to rather select Rickelton instead of QDK so check team news first. I suspect Rickelton will get the nod. 

MI to lose a wicket in the first over - 13/4 @ WSB

Not sure what the rules are about this bet, but Sunbet currently offers a market: Next Batter Out KKR Wicket One. Odds as follow: Finn Allen 15/10, Sunil Narine 47/100. It has been confirmed that Allen and Rahane will open with Cam Green to come in at first drop, so Narine will most probably bat anything from 7 or lower. Will the bet be null and void come the KKR iinnings or will only the Allen bets have a chance of winning? Would appreciate if anyone can clear this up.

Monday, Royals v CSK, nibbling at Ayush Mhatre as top CSK was 19/5 at Sportingbet at the weekend. 

Tuesday and Wednesday picks  from the preview  

Tuesday 31st March Punjab Kings v Gujurat Titans (2 SA bowling interest price boosts look pretty good to me) 
Top Punjab Kings Bowler Marco Jansen at 15/4 with Sportingbet 
Top Titans Bowler Kagiso Rabada at 15/4 with Sportingbet

Wednesday 1st April Lucknow Super Giants v Delhi Capitals 
Highest score in first 6 overs Lucknow Super Giants at 17/20 with Betway
 

RR  v  CSK

When these sides met here last season they managed 17 sixes. They have added Samson and Veer and Hetmyer is in much better form then last season so taking on the sixes line.  Overton can be a little wild and I expect a few leg bye fours off Archer and Burger. Last season 26 wickets fell in the two matches here so taking a bowler MOM for a few beers.


Match sixes over 16.5  17/20

Match extra's over 17.5  @  9/10

MOM  Archer  @  15/1

Going to be a very long season for CSK. They look rubbish.

PJKS  v  GT

Not a fan of this ground. Seen 420 runs scored for 11 wickets (same pitch being used today) and 206 for 20 wickets. Never know what you are going to get. Taking PJKS on the odds and I prefer their bowling line-up.  Taking Arshdeep as this ground generally favours pace.

Win   PJKS  @  evens


Over 1.5 match wickets - yes   A Singh  @  5/4

On the money with Punjab on Tuesday Vann, I started well enough with 2 / 2 then its gone pear shaped last couple of days with top bat and ball picks. Back to conservative plays for next batch of games from Thursday through Saturday,  preview here  

Thursday 2nd April Kolkata Knight Riders v Sunrisers Hyderabad
Highest Individual Score over 75.5 runs at 0.87/1 with WSB 

Friday 3rd April Chennai Super Kings v Punjab Kings
Most Sixes Punjab Kings at 0.77/1 with Sportingbet

Saturday's picks to follow

Basically treading water here - make one/lose one. Decided to go one bet or three bets

LSG  v  DC
Pace gets wickets at twice the rate of spin on the red pitches and I like the look of that DC's pace attack. Looking forward to seeing Nabi  with  Ngidi and Natarajan being proven wicket takers. Expect the majority of overs to be pace so will take extra's. With Kuldeep backing up the above trio I have to take DC even though that top four for LSG looks scary.

Win   DC  @  9/10

Match extras over 17.5  @  19/20

Over 1.5 match wickets - yes   Ngidi  @  7/4  He can spray them so I either make the extras or get the wickets

Well read with the LSG v DC game Vann. 

Added Saturday's picks  to the current preview  

Saturday 4th April Delhi Capitals v Mumbai Indians 
Player Performance Axar Patel over 34.5 at 9/10 with WSB

Saturday 4th April Gujarat Titans v Rajasthan Royals
Highest First 6 Overs Score, Titans at 17/20 with Betway

Nice call the LSG six overs Chris. Thought you were in trouble when they finished on 48.

KKR  v  SRH

Understand they will be on the same pitch used when New Zealand beat us up in the T20 semi. Produced 342 runs and 20 sixes. I think the bowling attacks of KKR and SRH are worse then SA and NZ so expect more runs and more boundaries. Certainly favour SRH in the sixes market which makes me believe KKR wiil take the fours.

Match Sixes over 20.5  @  17/20

Most fours  KKR  @  17/20

Next IPL preview from Sunday 5th April  is available here  

Sunday 5th April Sunrisers Hyderabad v Lucknow Super Giants

Sunday 5th April Royal Challengers Bengaluru v Chennai Super Kings
Top CSK run scorer Mhatre at 5.25/1 with WSB 

Monday 6th April Kolkata Knight Riders v Punjab Kings
