Cricket World Cup
Monday’s action in the Cricket World Cup sees West Indies take on Bangladesh in Taunton. Both teams have managed just the one win so far and have ground to make up in the race for a semi final place but West Indies are currently firm favourites at 4/9 whilst Bangladesh can be backed at 37/20. We have a full match betting preview on this link and we fancy 14 or more sixes will be crunched across both innings. Bet on West Indies v Bangladesh.

At 01:00 on Tuesday morning Chile begin their bid to land a third successive Copa title when they clash with invite nation Japan and a full suite of betting options are available.
In the Women’s World Cup Banyana Banyana take on Germany and our ladies are still looking for their first point having lost both their matches so far, 3-1 to Spain and 1-0 to China. The Germans have won both their games by a 1-0 scoreline and are already assured to progress from Group B. Theoretically Banyana could yet claim a best third placed finisher spot but it would take a remarkable sequence of results and in all likelihood this will be their last action of the tournament. In the betting Germany are overwhelming favourites to maintain their 100% record. Let’s hope Banyana can at least find the net and the price for both teams to score is currently 17/10.
