The recently concluded actions have set the pace for the upcoming edition of the IPL. Franchises have bought players to balance their squads, and have spent record-breaking sums on players like Chris Morris and Glenn Maxwell. The 2021 edition will start from 9th April with the defending champions Mumbai Indians facing the Royal Challenger Bangalore in Chennai, and end on 30th May, with the finals being played at the world’s biggest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad.
The IPL has always been a favorite of the punters, thanks to its fast-paced action and nail-biting finishes. And this year seems no different, for as soon as the schedules and fixtures were announced, the online bookmakers like betway have put out the odds for outright winners and other betting markets. You can check out the best bookmakers for IPL betting in India on betting apps in India.
While every punter relies on their own research before placing the bets, nowadays, many of them rely on cricket prediction apps for additional information. Let’s find out which are some of the best IPL prediction apps available.
Cricviz
Cricviz is one of the leading data and analytics providers of the game of cricket and has worked closely with teams like the Rajasthan Royals, Multan Sultans in the Pakistan Super League, as well as the Australian national team. It also works with broadcasters like Sky Sports and Fox sports, providing analytical services.
The idea to launch Cricviz was born in 2013 and the Cricviz app was launched in June 2015, providing different models for the analysis of pitches as well as matches. Winviz helps predict the winners of a match, while Predictviz helps to predict the score that a batting side may make. Pitchviz, wherever available, helps analyze the batting as well as bowling conditions using ball tracking.
One of the most popular tools of Cricviz is the Query tool, which provides access to ball by ball data of more than 1,00,000 matches and 15 million balls bowled. Huge quantities of data are filtered into easy-to-read graphics, making them easy to read. It is no wonder then that Cricviz is one of the most popular IPL prediction apps, available for both, Android as well as iOS.
Betway
Betway is one of the most popular sports betting sites in the world and has a great focus on cricket, and especially IPL betting. In addition to accepting bets, the betway app also features great blogs giving tips and predictions about the IPL. There are dedicated blogs for each upcoming IPL match, as well as predictions for outright winners, top scorer, top wicket-takers, etc.
The blogs can be accessed free by every fan, and regularly features columns by guest writers like Kevin Pietersen and Scott Styris.
Prediction Guru
Prediction Guru is a social prediction app and has more than half a million downloads from the Google Play Store. The app provides advanced match reports by experts, including the pitch and weather conditions, as well as the probable playing eleven of each team. The app also provides over-by-over predictions of various events, which can help enormously for those interested in live or in-game betting.
Prediction Guru is an open platform, providing sporting enthusiasts to have their say, and also pitch in with their predictions. In addition to IPL predictions, one can also search for predictions of other leagues like the Big Bash and other ICC tournaments. Users can also pay to unlock `premium´ features like ad-free content and some other features.
Conclusion
While the above-mentioned apps may provide you insight and use historical data to provide you with a prediction, one must remember that cricket is a dynamic game, and no one can predict its outcome with certainty. Users must therefore take these predictions with a pinch of salt, and understand the element of risk while using these predictions to place bets on the IPL.
