The 13th edition of the Indian Premier League is all set to be contested in the UAE from September 19 to November 10. The Board Of Control For Cricket In India (BCCI) worked overtime to organise the league this year outside of India. The cricket board ahead of the T20 league this year has once again taken yet another significant decision.

The BCCI has associated with Sportradar to identify all the ‘betting irregularities’ throughout the complete IPL 2020. Sportradar is a well known multinational corporation that analyses and collect sports data. All the matches of the IPL this year will be closely monitored by the corporation and will implement risk assessments to BCCI by proffering insights concerning all the betting violations.
