The Indian Premier League is one of the biggest cricket competitions and there are eight prestigious clubs competing against each other throughout the season, with the 2020 season having been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic although we are all set to go when it comes to the action starting.
It has been agreed that all 2020 IPL cricket matches will take place in the United Arab Emirates, with the season taking place between 19 September and running through to 10 November. There are going to be games coming thick and fast, with the leading bookies pricing up every match.
On Saturday 19 September, the Indian Premier League cricket season starts with Mumbai Indians facing Chennai Super Kings and there will be a stack of available pre-match and In-Play betting markets when it comes to each game.
Punters can choose to bet on the team that wins the match, the top team batsman for each side, the total runs that each side scores along with Top Team Bowler and Total Match Sixes.
The format of the Indian Premier League is interesting, with the top two teams in the regular standings going through to Qualifier 1, while third and fourth-placed sides in the IPL go through to play in the Eliminator. The winner of the Eliminator then goes through to play the Qualifier 1 loser and the winner of that match then plays in the final with the Qualifier 1 winner.
