IPL( Indian Premier League) Prediction Thread, 2018.

[bryant.coleman]

This time I will be supporting Kings XI Punjab. Their batting lineup looks extremely strong, with the inclusion of Chris Gayle, Karun Nair, David Miller, KL Rahul, Yuvraj Singh and Marcus Stoinis. The spin bowling strength is also good with players like Axar Patel, Mujeeb Zadran and Ravichandran Ashwin likely to feature in the final eleven.

[AK47-]

This is again going to be MI's year. With maximum number of in form players, I don't think any other team would be a match for them.
Hardik Pandya is in the form of his life and Rohit Sharma is the best Indian opener.
Looking forward to an amazing season.

Great to see CSK after 2 years with the same power packed team members but this time I am looking that Kings XI punjab would show us a winning side. If there is any betting site especially made for cricket league betting I would suggest them to add IPL as well.

Hope to find all the sports betting will be list the IPL matches as well like Big Bash Australia.

[Sithara007]

I think that the Mumbai Indians will be victorious this time around. Their squad looks the most balanced out of all the teams out there. There are world class batsmen like Duminy and Rohit Sharma, in addition to young players such as Evin Lewis. In the bowling department also they look quite strong, with Hardik Pandya,    Jasprit Bumrah and Pat Cummins leading the pace attack.

First of all it is very nice to have separate discussion for one event/tournament rather than having all in one. Big thanks to OP.
Before I tried starting new threads for tour and ICC events but this community did not support that 

It could be too earlier to predict the winner of 2018 IPL. But my inner thoughts flaggin chennai super kings due to their consistency in previous editions and their captain is the only man who played more number of IPL finals. His guidelines so far did magic for chennal hence why not for this year too ?

After chennai, I expect knight riders may surprise us just due to their new captain. His only 9 balls of nittakas final in Lanka will justify this. Gambir returns to Delhi and Rohit's captaincy for Mumbai also we need to consider but chennai remains as a most favorite among these odds.

There is already one thread for cricket matches to discuss but this IPL is a very big event and almost runs for 50+ days so it is better to have a separate thread instead of mixing with other international matches.

But, I think next one and a half month not many international matches are playing right? Because many top players from many countries are participating in this event.

These club teams are almost equally balanced so it is very hard to predict the winner. The first match will start a day after tomorrow. Anyone already ready for the first match to bet? Who you think will win the first match?

Seriously this seems so good to have a separate disunion for IPL because there was a thread with cricket match prediction and that was going so long. So good to OP for making such a new thread and discussion panel for this amazing event. And like you have said, Chennai supper kings would have been the favorite since long times so this time too, they will be making the mark.

Ya it is good to have a separate discussion thread for IPL,

csk this time dont have much chances of winning it but mostly they will be able to make out for Quarter final. As Most of the time Dhoni is the man who always pushes his team to the core and takes good result.

Dhoni is not only the single person who is thriving the team. You must the so far purple cap and orange cap winner from the CSK team. So many aussies like Hayden and Hussy slotted for it.

Other than that Muralidharan holded sometime. Then Dirk Nannas, Ashwin and some local bodies also made some contribution for CSK team. I believe the age parameter talking about through out india on CSK negative factor. Hope you think the same.

Still Dhonism and Rainaism will trash all the team and hit the cup this time. By, hardcore CSK fan.

Thanks for sharing the full schedule of IPL. I think we are heading for another exciting seasons of cricket and it will keep our evenings entertaining for the next month or so.  I am looking for my best team Super Kings to win.

[dmamigo]

Two teams back in the league, specially CSK. Waitong for this team to show there magic. Would be exciting how the legend from around the globe plays at this age. Hope it to be an exciting season. Counting on KXIP and RCB too this time.

Thanks OP for sharing the schedule, let the game, predictions and betting begin.

[bryant.coleman]

OK.. So tomorrow we are having Chennai vs Mumbai match. I will be betting in favor of Mumbai, as they clearly looks like the better side. Lewis/Duminy/Sharma should enable them a score of 200 plus, if they bat first. On the other hand, Chennai has been out for two years, and they may take some time to adjust.

[avikz]

Ok so lets predict match wise and then look back at your own promotion. Here goes mine,

7 April: MI vs CSK
My prediction: MI will win the match in good margin.

I will check back tomorrow after the match!

My prediction is CSK because I love the caption of the team,he is one of the kost valuable athelete and great skills too but bith have the same firepower behind it but lets see the yellow kings or blue army.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni used to be the king of the Indian cricket... (before Virat Kohli entered the scene). His era is over, and he has struggled in T20 cricket lately. IMO, Mumbai Indians is going to win this match, and that too by a good margin.

Let's see 

But don't think Mahendra Singh Dhoni is struggling in cricket,if he is in the ground the match is still on even if the score is too high too climb and many times he did too.Even the best player Virat Kohli is not able to overcome the cool minded kind MSD.So MSD is still in the hunt and will take the trophy too.Still we have few hours left to for the match and see how many people is on CSK side.

[ahmad21]

The spin bowling strength is also good with players like Axar Patel, Mujeeb Zadran and Ravichandran Ashwin likely to feature in the final eleven.

Agree with you they look the strongest on paper this time if we see the line ups. But the only problem in their squad is the lack of a main stream seamer. They have plenty of non-star seamers but no one they could really trust upon in those late death overs. This really is a very big problem. But yes their spin department if worked well can really fulfill that need too. Their batting line up has absolutely no problem what so every. They have such big hitters that even if one of them has a day on each match he can pull over the whole game on their side.

[suvo05]

So the IPL starts, who will be the winner of the first match?
Its a comeback for CSK and I think CSK will comeback with a win. I am a big fan MI, but almost every year they start with loosing some matches. So I won't feel bad if they start with loosing.

CSK marked their come back with a nail baiting 1 wicket win against the defending champion. I see this CSK again proved as they are the king of IPL once again. Literally Bravo grabbed the victory from Mumbai Indians. I did not expect such a start for this year's IPL.

Lets wait and see how many bitcoiners guessed today's winner correctly and how much they have made with their betting.

[richjohn]

A match worthy of a final. Almost everyone had given up hopes after Jadhav's injury. Bravo is really the Most Valuable Player any team can ever have. What a game of cricket we saw! Playing on one leg, Jadhav was able to turn around and drive the ball towards the covers for six. Unbelievable sights! Entire stadium erupted with Joy.
But the performance by 20-year old Mayank really won hearts of every player. A top contender for the U21 Player Award.
