Sunday’s IPL T20 final between the Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings has brought together the two biggest icons in Indian cricket, Sachin Tendulkar who captains Mumbai and MS Dhoni who leads Chennai in a match that promises to be the most exciting of all in this third edition of the IPL. Bookmakers everywhere are already reporting heavy betting for both sides on the outcome, Ladbrokes.com for instance have taken several big bets on Mumbai and have made them 8/13 odds on favourites, while they quote Chennai at 6/5.
Mumbai who have led the tournament from start to finish, reached the final by dispatching the Royal Challengers Bangladore, while Dhoni’s Chennai thrashed the 2009 champions, Deccan Chargers by 38 runs in their semi final. It will be the Chennai Super Kings second appearance in a final; they were runners up in 2008 but will hope to go one better in this.

Doubts remain on whether or not Tendulkar will actually play in the final as he has had to have five stitches put into a split web on his right hand. His absence would be a massive loss as he is the top run scorer of the tournament this year, despite celebrating his 37th birthday this weekend. That said Ladbrokes still make the ‘Little Master’ a 2/1 favourite to be top bat for Mumbai in the final, while they make Andrew Hayden and Vijay Murali 3/1 joint favourites to be top bat for Chennai.
There are also some concerns about the pitch that will be used in Mumbai, it was clearly breaking up in the semi final and if this was to continue it would certainly give the team who bat first a big advantage. Punters are therefore advised to make bets after the toss has been made as this could prove vital.
As far as bowling is concerned, punters should look closely at the 7/2 odds of Mumbai’s Lasith Malinga to be the most economical as well as the 9/2 about Doug Bollinger of Chennai. These two have been in terrific form for their clubs and their performances in the final could prove decisive. They can be backed with Ladbrokes
For our money, we think the impetus has been with Mumbai all season, Tendulkar has been a huge inspiration to them and provided he plays we think that they will win.
