T20 World Cup plus any other cricket

Afghanistan v UAE, England v Italy and Australia v Sri Lanka, Monday's T20 World Cup preview from Couch  is available here

USA  v  Namibia

USA inclined to go aerial while Namibia do a lot of running. Would rate the fours around evens so worth a nibble on the odds

Match most fours  Namibia  @  14/10

13-13 On the fours in the USA match so packed it in for the day. Probably just as well as I would not have made anything on the India match. We go again on the morrow

Afghanistan  v  UAE

Taking the UAE best bowler and expecting Afghanistan to get close to bowling UAE out so a batsman at around six could be a winner.

UAE

Top wicket taker  Siddique  @  13/4

Top batsman  S Kahn  @  5/1

Afghanistan v UAE

Delhi pitch has been good for batting in all three games played there thus far.

Muhammad Waseem to score 50 - Yes @ 15/4

Man of the Match: Darwish Rasooli @ 15/1

Sri Lanka v Australia

Price all wrong on the SL Win. Aussies in trouble at the moment and their struggle against spin bowling is well known. A Sri Lanka win guarantees qualification for the next round and see Australia needing favors from both Ireland and Sri Lanka v Zimbabwe. 

Sri Lanka Win 39/20 @ Sunbet, 35/20 @ WSB

Top SL Wicket Taker - Dinuth Wellalage @ 17/4

Man of the Match - Dinuth Wellalage @ 16/1

SL Top Batsman: Pavan Rathnayake @ 5/1 

England  v  Italy

This was the match that influenced my tournament outright on the highest innings bet. Hope England bat first here. Will join Couch on Archer but taking the reasonable best bowler odds. For an interest in the other innings have taken my favorite art form - The Leggie


Match most wickets  Archer  @  17/4

Italy most wickets   Kalugamage  @  9/2

Nissanka you biscut!!

Few things better in sport than Aussies losing

Top stuff Jacques and Couch. Going to be a massive supporter of Zimbabwe tomorrow.

New Zealand  v  Canada

If you have a lucky coin the New Zealand top batsman but must surely be between Allen and Siefert - so 11/4 choice. My coin is crap so skipping. Lockie has gone home to pass out in hospital at the birth of his first child so hoping Jamieson gets a run. Taking the old guy from Canada - an orthodox leftie.

Most wickets

New Zealand  Jamieson  @  15/4

Canada  Zafar  @  4/1

NZ v CAN

The NZ bowlers must be feeling a little low after getting dismantled by Markram. Canada haven’t looked hopeless at all. Surely they cover this…

Canada 1st 10 overs over 64.5 runs @ 1.87

Couch took a well earned break from previews on Tuesday, his plays for South Africa v UAE, Pakistan v Namibia and India v Netherlands on Wednesday  are available here

 

Nice one on Zafar Vann and grest call on first 10 Canada overs Shaft!

Scotland  v  Nepal

Taking the Scots captain on the batting front. No bowler from either side has had a good T20 WC. Most wickets thus far taken by Leask with his part time offies. Worth a sniff at the odds

Top bat Scotland 
Berrington  @  9/2

Match most wickets
Leask  @  14/1

SA  v  UAE

Group is settled so no idea who will play. Do hope SA give Nortje a run. Looks like match may be weather shortened so just taking the one bet

Most wickets UAE
Siddique  @  13/4

MAKING MAGIC ONE LAST TIME, WI v Italy, SL v Zimbabwe, Afghanistan v Canada and Australia v Oman. Couch's preview for Thursday and Friday's stand alone fixture  is available here

He does it again with Corbin Bosch. Great call Couch, damn

Couch, Shaft and The Vann on fire the last couple of days! Top stuff gentleman!

@The Vann, was the Leask bet declared a winner (like dead heat) or not yesterday? Damn close if it was a loser due to him conceding 5 runs more than Sompal. 

Ayub and Abhishek having shockers with the bat thus far. They were also two of my picks for top run-scorer. 

West Indies v Italy

Reckon we could be in for a huge score here, Italy have conceded just over 200 in both their matches at Eden Gardens.

West Indies Over 210.5 Runs @ 19/10
Over 197.5 @ 9/10 to cover.

Brandon King due a big score. King to score 50 Yes @ 43/20

AUS W vs IND W

Don't think the Indian ladies are given enough respect by the bookies. I give them a more than fair chance to win again today. My bets though,

India 1st over over 5.5 runs @ 19/20. They like a brisk start.
India most sixes @ 29/20. Plain and simple - more big hitters than Oz.
 

TIME TO GO TO WORK, Couch's preview and plays for NZ v Pakistan on Saturday and England v Sri Lanka and India v South Africa on Sunday  is available here

Was a wicket bet so dead heat - 7/1  and half stake returned.

I wonder how much KKR are looking forward to the 2026IPL having forked out a record amount for an overseas player on Cameron Green.  I expect whoever made the call is spending a large portion of each day in prayer.

Australia  v  Oman

Nissanka collected a century here against the Aussies so pondering that 11/2 on a century. Hoping they give Smith an outing

Match top batsman
Smith  @  9/2
