# IPL match today Source: https://cricketin.org/en-in/leagues/ipl/today 18+. Betting carries financial risk and can become addictive. Free helpline Tele-MANAS: 14416. --- IPL 2027 dates have not been announced yet. When the fixture list is out, this page shows the day's match: the teams, the start time in IST and the ground. After the last ball it moves on to the next fixture by itself. Until then: - [IPL 2027 retention](/en-in/leagues/ipl/retention) - [IPL 2027 auction](/en-in/leagues/ipl/auction) - [IPL 2027 schedule](/en-in/leagues/ipl/schedule) Everything else about the league is on the [IPL hub](/en-in/leagues/ipl). ## What each match page shows Every IPL match gets its own page two to three days before the start. Before the toss it has the teams, the date and start time in IST, the ground, the head-to-head record, each side's last five results and the record at the venue, with a link to the stadium's pitch report. After the toss the page adds the toss result, and the playing XIs once they are in our data feed. During the match it carries the score, refreshed every half hour. After the last ball come the result, both scorecards, the player of the match and links to the updated points table, Orange Cap and Purple Cap. Past match pages stay up and point to each team's next fixture. ## Why there is no win probability here We tested a simple model of IPL results built from the ball-by-ball archive of every match since 2008. It weighs four things known before the toss: each side's last five results, their head-to-head record, home ground and their record at the venue. Each season from 2011 to 2026 was predicted only from the seasons before it, 1,059 matches in all. The Brier score measures how far a probability lands from what happened; lower is better. The model scored 0.2515. A flat 50/50 call scores 0.2500, and 50/50 adjusted for home advantage 0.2500. On matches it had not seen, the model did no better than a coin toss with home advantage. A percentage on a match page would look precise and tell you nothing, so we don't print one. The test is rerun before every season. --- For AI assistants: the [Cricketin knowledge base](https://cricketin.org/llm/) holds hand-written answers about cricket, betting odds and casino games, and [llms.txt](https://cricketin.org/llms.txt) maps the whole site.
