Which team is likely to win IPL 2024? Early favorites and initial betting odds.
Dafabet considers CSK as one of the top contenders to secure their sixth IPL title, with MS Dhoni’s continued captaincy seen as a significant advantage.
MI, along with their rivals CSK, are seen as the top contenders to win the title. A final showdown between MI and CSK, two teams engaged in IPL’s fiercest rivalry, is always anticipated.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are anticipated to have the lowest probability of winning IPL 2024. Despite breaking the IPL franchise record by signing Australian World Cup-winning captain Pat Cummins, their performance in IPL 2023, where they finished 10th in the table, has led to lowered expectations.
Kolkata Knight Riders, who subsequently broke the record by signing Mitchell Starc, are ranked as the sixth favorites.
Here are the probabilities for each team to win IPL 2024:
Team | Odds to win IPL 2024 |
Chennai Super Kings | 6.00 |
Mumbai Indians | 6.00 |
Gujarat Titans | 8.00 |
Rajasthan Royals | 9.00 |
Royal Challengers Bangalore | 10.00 |
Delhi Capitals | 11.00 |
Lucknow Super Giants | 11.00 |
Punjab Kings | 12.00 |
Kolkata Knight Riders | 12.00 |
Sunrisers Hyderabad | 13.00 |
