How We Worked Out the IPL 2027 Chances
We played the season 100,000 times in the format used since 2022: each team plays 14 league matches, the top four reach the playoffs, and then come Qualifier 1, the Eliminator, Qualifier 2 and the final. Every match uses our model's current view of the two teams, built from their recent T20 results. A team's chance is the share of those seasons it won.
Squads change at the auction, so these chances describe the teams as they stand today. We run them again after the auction and before the first match.
