In the latest IPL 2024, things are getting really exciting as the tournament nears its end. It’s been hard for bowlers because batters are scoring lots of runs, with most matches seeing over 200 runs. They’re hitting loads of sixes too, almost 1,000 of them! The teams leading the points table are also the ones with the best batters.
Something interesting is that playing at home doesn’t give teams as much advantage as before. Sometimes, it’s better to bat first, and other times to chase. The Royals are doing really well, being the most steady team with good batting and bowling. Sunil Narine and T Natarajan are standing out, with Narine making a big impact and Natarajan sharing the lead for most wickets.
Here are some recent stats: In IPL the last 19 matches, teams scored over 200 runs 17 times! It seems like scoring 200 is normal now. Earlier, there were 15 such high scores in the first 35 matches. This season already has 32 200+ scores, maybe breaking last year’s record of 37.
The run-rate this season is super high, currently at 9.58 runs per over. And it’s still rising! It started at 9.39 and keeps going up.
There have been loads of sixes, almost 1,000 in the first 54 matches. The record for most sixes in a season, set at 1,124 in 2023, might be broken.
So, simply put, batters are dominating, making it hard for bowlers. Teams are scoring big, and the competition for the top spot is fierce. Let’s see what more excitement the rest of the IPL matches will bring!
