Fantasy Predictions
All of us must be waiting for the sport with eagerness but apart from that we love predicting about the game and this is just for entertainment. So our analysts have just figured a statistics where there will be a probability of winning the cup. Let's check out.
Rajasthan Royals
Despite having star players like JOfra Archer, Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, David miller this team has failed to perform up to the mark in the past few seasons. Though there are some new faces like Manan Vohra, Chris Morris, and more. We can expect a power surged cricket from them to guide their team to the cup.
Winning Chances - 8%
Chennai Super Kings
This team has a good experience lineup and is one of the consistent teams in the past, there are new faces like Cheteswar Pujara, KM Asif, Robin Uthappa, and many others who will give a boost to the side this year. But in few years the main problem of this side has turned out to be the power-hitting in the middle overs. We will hope to see the destruction of MSD's bat this year.
Winning Chances - 9%
Punjab Kings
With a new team and new members on the side, they would be looking for their maiden IPL cup with start performers like KL Rahul, Chris Gayle & Nicolas Pooran. Fresh faces like Dawid Malan & Fabian Allen will be a worthy watch for this side. Let's see what this side can pull back this year.
Winning Chances - 10%
Royal Challengers Bangalore
Being one of the strongest sides in the IPL for years, this team is looking forward to its first IPL trophy. Generally, this team is the most entertaining side of the IPL with some nail-biting matches and a powerful display of batting. We all will be looking forward to the trio of ABD, Virat Kohli & Glenn Maxwell for some boom. Youngstars like Saini, Siraj & Sundar will be a great explode this season.
Winning Chances - 11.5 %
Kolkata Knight Riders
This is one of the favorite teams in IPL with some good past history. But this team has failed to perform in the past few years. Their main problem is leadership. Last year they had made Morgan the captain in the middle of the season. Hope they will get the rhythm back and the coming back of Sakib Al Hasan will boost them up with Cummins and Russell in the middle with Gill & Rana at the top.
Winning Chances - 13 %
Sunrisers Hyderabad
Well SRH is one of the most balanced teams in IPL with a mixture of Star players like Kane Williamson, David Warner, Rashid Khan, Bhuvaneshwar Kumar, Johnny Bairstow & unflagged players like Abdul Samad, T. Natarajan, Manish Pandey. But they had a problem with power-hitting in the middle order. Hope they find a way soon.
Winning Chances - 13.5 %
Delhi Capitals
Well, sometimes a bunch of young lads can beat the shit out of those who are in the field over a long time. The last year's runners-up are looking forward to this year with strong motivation. The coming of Steve Smith & Tom Curran has made this side even stronger than the past year. We will be looking forward to this team with deep passion and love.
Winning Chances - 16.5 %
Mumbai Indians
Well, let me introduce you to the most consistent, dominating, and successful team of the IPL history with 5 trophies in their bag. Looking forward to their 6th trophy Rohit Sharma's lads are ready to get on the pitch. The incoming of Adam Milne & Chris Lynn will give them additional options in the team. But it will be difficult for them to pick up the playing 11.
Winning Chances - 18.5 %
