Now that COVID-19 has decided to fuck my exams and cricket, I have a lot of time. So here is a futile post. Imaginary scenarios where the team that finishes first in group stages get awarded the trophy like in European football leagues
IPL
| Season | Group Stage Winners | Playoff Winners |
|---|---|---|
| 2008 | Rajasthan Royals | Rajasthan Royals |
| 2009 | Delhi Daredevils (Capitals) | Deccan Chargers |
| 2010 | Mumbai Indians | Chennai Super Kings |
| 2011 | Royal Challengers Bangalore | Chennai Super Kings |
| 2012 | Delhi Daredevils (Capitals) | Kolkata Knight Riders |
| 2013 | Chennai Super Kings | Mumbai Indians |
| 2014 | KXI Punjab | Kolkata Knight Riders |
| 2015 | Chennai Super Kings | Mumbai Indians |
| 2016 | Gujarat Lions | Sunrisers Hyderabad |
| 2017 | Mumbai Indians | Mumbai Indians |
| 2018 | Sunrisers Hyderabad | Chennai Super Kings |
| 2019 | Mumbai Indians | Mumbai Indians |
So lets put that into perspective:
| Most successful teams in playoff system | Number of titles | Most successful teams in football-style system | Number of titles |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mumbai | 4 | Mumbai | 3 |
| Chennai | 3 | Chennai | 2 |
| Kolkata Knight Riders | 2 | Delhi | 2 |
| Deccan Chargers | 1 | Sunrisers Hyderabad | 1 |
| Sunrisers Hyderabad | 1 | Gujarat Lions | 1 |
| Rajasthan Royals | 1 | KXI Punjab | 1 |
| - | - | RC Bangalore | 1 |
| - | - | Rajasthan Royals | 1 |
Stupid Inferences:
-KKR would never have been champions under the football-style system.
-Delhi would be the joint second most successful team under the football style system
-RCB, KXIP, Gujarat Lions would all be one time IPL champions under the football style
Pakistan Super League
| Season | Group Stage Winners | Play Off Winners |
|---|---|---|
| 2016 | Peshawar Zalmi | Islamabad United |
| 2017 | Peshawar Zalmi | Peshawar Zalmi |
| 2018 | Islamabad United | Islamabad United |
| 2019 | Peshawar Zalmi | Quetta Gladiators |
| Most successful teams in playoff system | Number of titles | Most successful teams in football-style system | Number of titles |
|---|---|---|---|
| Islamabad United | 2 | Peshawar Zalmi | 3 |
| Peshawar Zalmi | 1 | Islamabad United | 1 |
| Quetta Gladiators | 1 | - | - |
Stupid Inferences:
-Peshawar would be the most successful team in PSL with three titles to their name under a football-style system.
Big Bash League
| Season | Group Stage Winners | Play Off Winners |
|---|---|---|
| 2011-12 | Perth Scorchers | Sydney Sixers |
| 2012-13 | Melbourne Renegades | Brisbane Heat |
| 2013-14 | Melbourne Stars | Perth Scorchers |
| 2014-15 | Adelaide Strikers | Perth Scorchers |
| 2015-16 | Adelaide Strikers | Sydney Thunder |
| 2016-17 | Perth Scorchers | Perth Scorchers |
| 2017-18 | Perth Scorchers | Adelaide Strikers |
| 2018-19 | Hobart Hurricanes | Melbourne Renegades |
| 2019-20 | Melbourne Stars | Sydney Sixers |
| Most successful teams in play off system | Number of titles | Most successful teams in football style system | Number of titles |
|---|---|---|---|
| Perth Scorchers | 3 | Perth Scorchers | 3 |
| Sydney Sixers | 2 | Adelaide Strikers | 2 |
| Sydney Thunder | 1 | Melbourne Stars | 2 |
| Brisbane Heat | 1 | Melbourne Renegades | 1 |
| Adelaide Strikers | 1 | Hobart Hurricanes | 1 |
| Melbourne Renegades | 1 | - | - |
Stupid Inferences:
-Hobart Hurricanes, who have never been BBL champions, would have won their first tile 2018-19 under the football-style system
-Sydney Thunder would never have been champions under a football style system.
-Strikers and Stars would be second joint successful teams under a football style system
Caribbean Premier League
| Season | Group Stage Winners | Play Off Winners |
|---|---|---|
| 2013 | Guyana Amazon Warriors | Jamaica Tallawahs |
| 2014 | Barbados Tridents | Barbados Tridents |
| 2015 | Barbados Tridents | Trinbago Knight Riders |
| 2016 | Guyana Amazon Warriors | Jamaica Tallawahs |
| 2017 | Trinbago Knight Riders | Trinbago Knight Riders |
| 2018 | Trinbago Knight Riders | Trinbago Knight Riders |
| 2019 | Guyana Amazon Warriors | Barbados Tridents |
| Most successful teams in play off system | Number of titles | Most successful teams in football style system | Number of title |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trinbago Knight Riders | 3 | Guyana Amazon Warriors | 3 |
| Jamaica Tallawahs | 2 | Trinbago Knight Riders | 2 |
| Barbados Tridents | 2 | Barbados Tridents | 2 |
Stupid inferences:
-Guyana Amazon Warriors, who are yet to win a CPL tournament, would be 3 times CPL champions under a football style system
-Fun fact: Guyana went undefeated (won 10/10) in the 2019 season. Their only match lost being the final
-Jamaica Tallawahs would have never been champions under a football style system
I have excluded the T20 Blast (has two divisions) and the Mzansi Super League (because no one gives a fuck).
