Listen to Cricket... Only Bettor


The Cricket...Only Bettor podcast team agree that the Indian Premier League has got off to a brilliant start with runs galore scored in the opening matches.

It has been a thrilling time on the Betfair Exchange too where Delhi Capitals were matched at 50.049/1 in-play before they beat Lucknow Super Giants who saw £1.4m matched on them at 1.021/50. The game saw a brilliant finish and there could be more to come. 

Meanwhile, the impact players are living up to their name and the market is being slow to catch up with the high-scoring, according to Betting.Betfair cricket tipsters Ed Hawkins.
