CWC Pakistan150Tuesday is a busy day of international cricket and we take a look at the betting for the third T20 between West Indies and Australia, the third ODI between between England and Pakistan and the second ODI between Ireland and South Africa.

 

 

 

West Indies v Australia, 3rd T20

 

This 5 match series is taking place in St. Lucia and West Indies are in control having won both matches so far, the first by 18 runs and the second by 56 runs. West Indies posted 196/4 in taking a 2-0 lead at the weekend and Australia are finding batting tough going having being bowled out for 127 in the first match and 140 in the second.

 

West Indies are currently 8/10 favourites to make it 3-0 with Australia trading at even money. Evin Lewis and Lendl Simmons are 3.25/1 to top score for Windies and Finch is 11/4 to do likewise for Australia.

 

The Verdict

 

West Indies were inconsistent in the recent 5 match series against South Africa which they lost 3-2 but they seem in a much better space now. I can see them sealing a series win here.

 

Obed McCoy sat out the second match after taking 4 wickets in the series opener and if he is selected he looks worth a shout as top WI bowler.

 

Bets: West Indies to win at 8/10

Top WI Bowler Obed McCoy at 3/1

England v Pakistan, 3rd ODI

 

This is the final match of the series and despite having to completely overhaul their squad due to a Covid outbreak, England have an unassailable 2-0 lead. They won the first match in Cardiff by 9 wickets after bowling Pakistan out for 141 and in the second match at Lords they successfully defended 247 to come out on top by 52 runs.

 

Birmingham is the venue for the third match and England are 0.72 favourites whilst Pakistan can be backed at 11/10.

 

The Verdict

 

It's hard to believe how poor Pakistan have been but they will not be short of support at Edgbaston and I will take a chance they can get some momentum ahead of the T20's to follow.

 

Bets: Pakistan to win at 11/10

Ireland v South Africa 2nd ODI

 

This is the second of 3 ODI's in Dublin and no result was possible in the opening contest. Ireland did make 195/4 in 40.2 overs before play was halted on Sunday with Porterfield (63) and Balbirnie (65) in the runs whilst Rabada took 2 wickets.

 

Ireland are 13/2 to spring a surprise with the Proteas at less than 1 / 10.

 

The Verdict

 

Ireland were going better than many would have expected before the rain on Sunday which suggests a good batting deck. The Proteas never got the chance to get to the crease but in a one sided betting heat I'll go with any of the South African batsmen to score a century.

 

Bets: Century scored by South Africa? (yes) at 23/20
