In such a highly competitive league as IPL 2021, predicting the four teams that will finish in the top half of the table and earn a playoff place is a difficult task. At the same time, SkyBet is offering boosted odds to do just that and therefore it is well worth making those predictions based on detailed analysis of the 8 teams involved.
For the previous 3 seasons, 14 points or the equivalent of 7 wins from the 14 round robin games has been enough to finish in the top four and secure a place in the playoffs so in essence what we are trying to predict is which team can win half or more of their games in IPL 2021.
Our top tips for betting on who will reach the playoffs are
Sunrisers Hyderabad @2.10
Chennai Super Kings @2.20
Mumbai Indians @1.29
Delhi Capitals @1.57
We also believe that RCB are over priced at 1.80 to reach the playoffs and therefore our tip would be to lay against them on Betfair exchange for 2.2
Royal Challengers Bangalore - lay against @2.20

great article, for all the geeks out there like me, you can convert the odds into probabilities. So Mumbai Indians have a 1/1.29 = 78% chance of making it through. sounds about right...
