The Indian Premier League 2014 is nearing an end, and what a thrilling event it has proved to be. Teams predicted to finish low, turning the tables and challenging for the title, and mis-firing star transfers. The only risk is that we will all suffer from an IPL depression after Sunday’s final, due to the excitement ending.
This year as we head into the Indian Premier League 2014 Final, it has once again proved that for cricket fans, there really is nothing quite like the Indian Premier League. There is always something happening, and the passion from the fans is simply overwhelming at times. Even as we entered the play-offs, moments of genius were witnessed and sheer determination to get both the Kolkata Knight Riders and the Kings XI Punjab into the final.
So as we approach the Indian Premier League 2014 final – what do we need to know?
The venue is set as the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on Sunday 01st June 2014, and will start at 1.30pm BST.
The pitch has the tendency to favour those that posses the ability to get swing on the ball, and in Morkel and Yadav, the Kolkata Knight Riders certainly have that.
It’s going to be a tight affair, that much is for sure, but with Kolkata’s bowling depth that includes the likes of spinner Sunil Narine, the final may just be leaning towards their favour.
Last year, Mumbai Indians won the IPL final thanks to an inspirational bowling performance that saw Chennai Super Kings limited to just 125/9. This time around, it’s Kings XI Punjab that face the prospect of being de-crowned, with Kolkata’s winning streak not looking like ceasing.
Looking at the form, resilience and overall consistency the Kolkata Knight Riders have shown throughout the IPL7, we feel that most will be leaning towards the Kolkata Knight Riders to emerge as Indian Premier League 2014 Final champions. You can also pick up some fantastic value match odds on the KKR to win.
The odds for the Indian Premier League 2014 Final are below:
Kolkata Knight Riders to win @ 2.10
Kings XI Punjab to win @ 1.72
