If you’re new to cricket betting, Sportsbet.io got you covered with this guide to India’s top domestic T20 league:

IPL 2024 tournament format

The 2024 Indian Premier League marks the 17th edition of the country’s premier Twenty20 (T20) tournament. City-based franchise teams compete in a series of games overseen by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

The tournament unfolds in three stages: the Group Stage, Playoffs, and Finals, spanning six thrilling weeks from 22nd March to 26th May. Before you start your IPL betting sessions, learn how these stages work. 

Group Stage

Formerly known as ‘League Stage’, it is reintroduced as the Group Stage to accommodate the expanded roster of 10 teams. These teams are split into two groups (A and B) where each team plays against each other in a double round-robin format. This will result in 21 matches where each team gets a chance to play once as the home and away teams.

The point system from the League Stage carries over to the new format where winners get 2 points each and a tie awards 1 point for both teams of the game. Total points are tallied at the end of the Group Stage and all teams are all ranked together into one leaderboard. The top four teams advance to the Playoffs.

Playoffs

The Playoffs have separate sections in it and teams are seeded depending on their aggregate points in the Group Stage. The top two teams based on points earned advance to Qualifier 1 while the 3rd and 4th placed teams advanced to the Eliminator stage. 

  • Qualifier 1: The top two teams from the Group Stage play against each other and the winner advances to the Finals. 
  • Eliminator: The 3rd and 4th place teams play against each other and the winner advances to Qualifier 2. 
  • Qualifier 2: The loser of Qualifier 1 and the winner of Eliminator play against each other and the winner advances to the Finals.

Finals

The Finals, the biggest event of the IPL 2024, witnesses a showdown between the winners of Qualifier 1 and Qualifier 2, determining the ultimate champion of the season. The most successful teams are the Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings, each having won five titles. Virat Kohli holds the record for the most number of runs (7,263), with Yuzvendra Chahal leading in most wickets (187).

Top teams to follow in the IPL 2024

If you’re new to the IPL, it’s essential to know which teams are worth watching. With 10 teams in the fray, with amazing rosters of athletes, focusing on a handful can enhance your viewing experience. Here are three teams with favourable IPL odds:

  • Mumbai Indians (MI)

With the return of Hardik Pandya from the Gujarat Titans (GT), the Mumbai Indians have received a significant power boost for the season. Despite being considered underdogs compared to the likes of Sunrisers Hyderabad, they remain popular as a top pick in IPL predictions on Sportsbet.io.

  • Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)

The Kolkata Knight Riders also made a stunning draft this season when they got Mitchell Starc. He became the most expensive buy in IPL history at ₹247,500,000. While this investment is lauded, the KKR is still in a shaky position in IPL betting odds since the rest of their roster has many inexperienced albeit talented bowlers. 

  • Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

While KKR made one big purchase at the expense of a weaker roster, Sunrisers Hyderabad did the opposite. They invested in many good batters and bowlers for a more reliable lineup. Their notable acquisition is Pat Cummins, despite facing competition from other bidders. If you want the safest bet IPL offers, then SRH is the team to follow.

  • Top batsman/bowler: Guess the best batsman and/or bowler of the game. Sportsbet.io presents a curated selection to narrow your choices to the most promising candidates. Popular options include Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, and Faf du Plessis in their respective matches.
  • Dismissal method: Predict how a batter will be dismissed. This is a player-specific bet so IPL live betting odds will depend on the athlete’s history in the sport. For example, guess the dismissal method for Hardik Pandya of MI, your options include:
    • Other
    • Run out
    • Stumped
    • Leg before wicket (LBW)
    • Caught / Not caught
    • Bowled
  • Total fours over/under: Fours are scores when the batter hits the ball and it lands within the playing area before rolling or bouncing to the edge. This is the result for most batters so it’s expected to reach a high total per game.
  • Total sixes over/under: Sixes are scores given to the batting team when the ball flies past the playing area after being hit. Exceptional players like Virat Kohli are capable of doing this consistently so expect a high total count in games with players like him.
