Way too early to make any predictions. At the Cyclones we have only made one big signing so far but have basically retained all our players. We should definitely be more competitive in the BS while our HC, HP and ALC teams should all be pushing for the playoffs. Other signings could still change things a lot.
Vipers to go through the BS season undefeated at home, top the table by ~20 points and then lose the final.

It'll end up being Allstars, Vipers, Pumas, in that order. The Ravens were actually on track to make the semifinals but choked in their second to last match of the season. In their final game of the season they managed to reach the same number of points as the Pumas but due to some horrific bowling and batting from <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=37>RG Cribb</a> in their penultimate match they end up coming fourth due to a worse quotient. Cribb rues the missed opportunity to not only make it to third had it not been for his performance in that game, but also the chance he had to expand the playoffs to the top four teams. Pumas beat the Vipers by a single wicket in one of the greatest matches ever played and complete #redemptionS13 and go on to face the Allstars in the grand final. The Allstars bat first and while their openers get a solid partnership, the Pumas prove that staying #loyal is the ultimate philosophy as <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=913>JA Chewie</a> gets a golden pair. With the ball he gets another rare opportunity to bowl but gets smacked for six by <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=396>AJ Son</a> on his first delivery. After that game <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=58>SA Flack</a> will announce that he is coming out of retirement despite winning the player of the season award. <a href=http://cricsim.com/site/players.php?id=853>BR Hall</a> wins the ALC player of the season award after not getting a single game in BS all season.
