Thanks for this thread. I am a huge cricket fan and love to make some bets here and there. I am supporting Mumbai Indians because of the sole reason that Sachin is associated with them.

There are only a few days left for the start of the Indian Premier League 2025. The most popular league in franchise cricket. In the meantime, cricket lovers are doing extensive research about this tournament. There is an excitement among those who will bet. There is a different kind of excitement in the cricket world during IPL, especially the top class players are in the limelight and the excitement of cricket fans will prevail throughout the time. Thanks to @libert19 for creating such a thread. A different feeling has been created as soon as I saw the thread.

Of course why not? If we can do our research and get opinions here, we can get better results. Though there are not many users in this forum they like cricket. If some users came here, then their logical predictions with various information would be effective for others. But anyway, we can keep our predictions here and by observing them, hopefully it will be easier to take more logical decisions.

Sky is cloudy and here and there rain showers at Eden Gardens, so rain may play spoilsport on opening game itself.

The cloud condition does not give a good message, there will definitely be doubts about the match. The match will start with the cloud conditions, some times it shows good and sometimes bad. In this situation, there will be a disturbing feeling among the fans about the match. Especially if the second innings does not start after the first innings or the over is reduced, in that case, the situation of the match will change completely. It will be even more difficult to predict the win and defeat in this match.

But ultimately the match was played perfectly and Kolkata Knight Riders started with a good performance and lost with a bad performance. They had to face this loss due to what I would call a lack of fully team work.
Although I was confident before the match that Virat Kohli would perform well because he has returned to his form in the recent Champions Trophy and where Virat Kohli is, good things happen, so I was confident that Royal Challengers Bengaluru would win today. And to be honest, the incredible comeback of their bowlers played a big role here.

Yes, KKR fucked up in second 10 overs, had they continued their early momentum till last then we could have seen a competitive total and game could have gotten interesting.

I changed my decision at the last moment and decided to pick RCB. Screenshot below is proof that I made a good switch

There is no need to make any predictions about today's match. Sunrisers Hyderabad has shown such a performance that Rajasthan Royals will never be able to win this match. Although in cricket, it is not possible to say which team will win till the last ball, but Sunrisers Hyderabad will definitely win today's match. The number of runs in this match can definitely be 160 or more, which will be difficult for any other team to chase.

I am backing MI, common MI!
Good to see Dhoni in action. What a stump by MSD.! Still, half the game is left hopefully MI can comeback.

160? Or you mean 260? SRH continued their momentum from last season, and what a monster SRH batters are! My favorite franchise at the moment.

While, CSK vs MI as much as it was hyped as classic rivalry, it was meh tbh.

Ahh, it was a tough match. If MI could have socred 20 runs extra in ist inngs result would have different. I just noticed that MI never won their 1st match in entire IPL.

Not never, I think since 2013 they are consistent in losing first match but prior to that have won, for example in Season 2, they won their first match.
