Indian cricket fans were disappointed to see the fifth and final test against England canceled. India was 2-1 up in the five-match test series which was a fantastic advertisement for test cricket. India decided to cancel the final test 90 minutes before the start of the toss as the players were not keen on taking the field.

IPL Franchises Charter Private Planes
Since India decided not to play the final test, the players were able to leave England a lot earlier than planned. IPL franchises chartered planes to get their respective players to the United Arab Emirates where the remainder of the 2021 IPL will take place.
IPL 2021 came to a halt in India during May 2021 when the IPL bubble was breached and multiple players and staff got COVID. The BCCI suspended the IPL and managed to work out a window on the cricketing calendar to have the IPL staged in the UAE.
Just like the 2020 IPL, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Dubai will be the three stadiums used to complete the remainder of the 2021 IPL. Most of the IPL squads are already in the UAE practicing and preparing for the final stage of the IPL.
The players flying in from England will be subjected to a 6-day quarantine process and then be released to practice with their respective teams.
Chennai Super Kings vs. Mumbai Indians On Sep 19
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will play the Mumbai Indians in the first game on Sep 19. CSK fans will be anxious about this game because of what happened to CSK in 2020. The men in yellow were eliminated before the playoffs for the first time in IPL history as they had a very poor run in the UAE during the 2020 IPL.
CSK had a good run in India during the first part of the 2021 IPL and finished in second place on the IPL points table. They have played 7 games so far won 5 and lost just 2. They would definitely like to start with a win against the Mumbai Indians just to break the jinx of 2020 and show their fans that they are still contenders to win the 2021 IPL.
The Mumbai Indians were betting favorites to win the 2021 IPL championship. The defending champions did not have a good first half in IPL 2021 as they played seven games, won four and lost three. The Mumbai Indians looked beatable in India and in a way will be happy with the interruption as it allows them to regroup and get back to playing dominant cricket.
The IPL odds for this game are slightly in favor of the Mumbai Indians. MI have IPL betting odds of 1.83 on Betway to win this game while CSK have odds of 1.90.
We think Mumbai Indians will have a slight advantage in this game because they won the 2020 IPL in the UAE whereas CSK had a poor season and will be under a little bit of pressure to show their fans that they can play good cricket in the UAE.
Favorites To Win IPL 2021
If you want to do IPL betting on which team will win the 2021 IPL, you should consider these four teams.
Mumbai Indians – They are the defending champs with five IPL championships under their belt.
Chennai Super Kings – MS Dhoni’s men have played good cricket in the 2021 IPL and look like they can win their fourth IPL championship.
Delhi Capitals – DC are currently top of the table before the second half of the season resumes and it would not be a surprise if they go on to lift the 1st IPL trophy in the franchisee’s history.
Royal Challengers Bangalore – RCB has never won an IPL championship but they look like a team that is determined to succeed in 2021.
