Finally, that bet on the 2021 IPL may swim back into focus, as doubts about the tournament are put to bed. Yes, there are a few issues to sort out. Where and when the obvious two. However, there is a brief window of opportunity and the BCCI are apt to take it. Even if that means a return to play in the United Arab Emirates. So, if you haven’t indulged as yet, you’ll still have plenty of time to check out the all the odds on the 2021 IPL at online betting sites in India like Bet365. They had no choice but to call off and postpone the IPL. That’s unarguable. But they have do to play the remaining matches somehow. This is not just to satisfy the fans. If they don’t play them they lose £200m. Quite the price tag. So you can bet on the 2021 IPL finishing somewhere. Very probably the United Arab Emirates. They were generous enough to host the completion before and seem quite willing to do so again. So all that remains is to find the time, and there’s the rub. There isn’t much of it available. Last week they attempted to get the last test of India’s tour in the UK moved. This would have freed up time to play out the IPL before the T20 World Cup. Alas, however, the English wouldn’t reschedule. Partly because ticket have all but sold out, but mostly because the new date clashed with the start of The Hundred. So now the BCCI have bet on the 2021 IPL fitting in between that tour and the world cup. It’s another crazy bet on sports in India.

That many matches in such a short space of time will take a toll, and some players will absent themselves. Particularly the overseas players. Depend upon it. They’ll want to rest up before the T20 World Cup and will bet on the 2021 IPL not missing them much. However, the Indian players will find this one tough year now. Any rest and relaxation they had planned has gone out the window. Three weeks for 31 games? That’s a punishing schedule after a full test tour.

T20 World Cup Odds

Nambia – 1500/1

Oman – 1000/1

Papua New Guinea – 1000/1

Netherlands – 1000/1

The plan is for the group stage to conclude in just seventeen days. This would leave four days for the knockout stages and final. Brutal. Still, it will make that bet on the 2021 IPL a little more interesting. Just which side will push through the pain? Online sportsbook sites in India like Bet365 already see depth of squad as salient. Without it sides really don’t stand much of a chance weathering this compression of play. They’ll just tire themselves out faster than the others.

Bet On The 2021 IPL Fitting In Wherever It Needs To

Some of them will find fatigue already an issue. That Test tour of England won’t leave them feeling refreshed. However, there is some good news in that the T20 World Cup has a staggered start. Yes, you can bet on the 2021 IPL in its new time slot will slice into prep time for the teams, ut the big names only play from the 2nd round. So they do have more time for it. Perhaps that’s why the odds on India are still the lowest for a bet on the T20 World Cup. Well short of the rest.

Revised 2021 IPL Schedule

Group Stage – September 19th – October 5th

Knockout Stage – October 6th – 8th

Final Match – October 9th

Facing a brutal schedule the Indian side is still perhaps the best in the world. Especially at short form cricket. The odds on the T20 World Cup prove that much. So whilst you can bet on the 2021 IPL to perhaps take a little pace off their attack, it won’t matter. They’re still very much the team to beat. So ignore all the calendar calamities and backroom deals, if you’re going to take advantage of Indian gambling laws keep your eyes on the prize, that T20 World Cup trophy.
