Stan James have put the Delhi Daredevils as their favourites as well, at 4/1.

"Delhi have an embarrassment of batting riches with David Warner, Virender Sehwag, Tillakaratne Dilsha, AB de Villiers and Dinesh Karthik all at the disposal of Captain Guatam Gambhir and they look the team to beat... but that has also been the case in the last two years and they have been beaten semi finalists," said an analyst at Stan James. "Third time lucky for Delhi? They are worthy market leaders but will they be known as the South Africa of club cricket after the 2010 IPL?"
