T20 World Cup plus any other cricket

Can Australia do me a favour and have some semblance of a game face on today..

Oman total under 135.5 @ 17/20

New Zealand  v  Pakistan

This wicket normally spin friendly and a reasonably large ground hence the sixes line. Thing is - Zimbabwe whacked 7 sixes here earlier and NZ do have several players capable of clearing the ropes. Joining Couch on the stop-start Tariq at the same odds

Match sixes over 8.5  @  9/10

 

England  v  Sri Lanka

At the same ground and probably the same wicket that Australia beat Oman on. In that short, one-sided affair the teams managed 27 fours. Line looks good to me. Don't think England faced Hemantha in the warm-up series against Sri Lanka so worth a punt.

Match fours over 29.5  @  17/20

Top wicket taker
Sri Lanka  Hemantha  @  7/2

Expect England to scrape home here so

MOM  Curran  @  13/1

WORKING IT, West Indies v Zimbabwe, Monday's Super 8 preview from Couch  is available here

Sri Lanka v England

Sri Lanka Win @14/10 - Chasing today, half the job done. 

Jos Buttler - Method of Dismissal - Bowled @ 17/4. Out bowled in 2 of 3 innings here just before the World Cup. Worth a penny. 

With The Vann on Hemantha for SL Top Wicket Taker

Was way too confident on that fours bet in the England match. Made several books very happy that did.

Zimbabwe  v  West Indies

India batted first against USA on this wicket and managed 161/9. USA replied with 132/8. Both teams managed 7 sixes. 

Zimbabwe total under 158.5  @  9/10

Windies match sixes over 8.5  @  9/10

Taking Blessing as he generally gets one of the last two overs

Zimbabwe most wickets  Muzarabani  @  9/4

Couch sweating on the Zimbabwe no 50 bet and me sweating on the total. Very seldom does one beat the books in that position. Hallelujah

England v Pakistan and New Zealand v Sri Lanka, Tuesday and Wednesday T20WC Super 8 preview from Couch  is available here

England  v  Pakistan

Buttler looked so poor last time out. Could not get in line, had trouble judging length - just all round abysmal. Sticking with Tariq. Jacks has three MOM awards so taking on the odds

Under 24.5 runs  Buttler  @  8/10

Over 1.5 match wickets  Tariq  @  14/10

MOM  Jacks  @  16/1
