Since the inception of Twenty20 cricket in 2003 as an addition to the county cricket calendar, the format has rapidly spread around the globe revolutionising the sport. The appeal of Twenty20 cricket is that it harnesses the most exciting aspects of the game into a 3 hour adrenaline fuelled display of aggressive batting and colourful cricket (2 x 20 over innings) – attracting fans that would normally find cricket matches to be too long. Following the success of the inaugural ICC Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa and the growing popularity of the formant, a number of domestic Twenty20 leagues are in development – the first and most controversial of which is the multi-billion dollar Indian Premier League.

Indian Premier League (IPL) Betting

Organised by the BCCI, the Indian Premier League is a novel concept in the world of cricket. Functioning similarly to a football league and with tremendous financial backing; the IPL’s 8 franchises acquired the world’s best cricketers through an auction and bidding process – with some earning up to $1 million for a 3 year contract. The television rights alone are worth a massive $1.75 billion. The IPL has evoked its fair share of controversy, conflicting with international tours and country cricket, as well as transforming the state of world cricket with its big budget dealings. The first IPL tournament commenced on 18 April and ended on 1 June 2008, featuring 59 matches over 45 days. Canbet.com offers the best odds and Live ‘In-Play’ Betting on all Indian Premier League matches.
