England come straight out of their 3 match T20 series against Pakistan and take on Australia at Old Trafford on Friday in the first of 3 T20’s. We take a look at the game from a betting angle.
All 3 T20’s will be played at Old Trafford and the England v Australia rivalry remains as big as ever. They certainly come into this more battle hardened than Australia having played a 3 match series against Pakistan which was drawn 1-1 after no result was possible in the first match.
Australia have not seen any T20 action of late, but they are of course a side packed with match winners.
The England squad looks a bit stronger than it did against Pakistan with a couple of test match players returning to T20 action.
MATCH BETTING
England 8/10
Australia 21/20
BET: England win at 8/10
I think the fact that England have played the more competitive cricket of late will stand them in good stead in the opener.
BET: Total Runs in the match, over 321.5 at 17/20
Both of these sides are packed with talented batsmen and while the bowling line ups are strong I expect the bat is going to dominate the ball.
