England v West Indies Cricket Betting
Current T20 world champions England take on the Windies in their first T20 World Cup Super Eight match in Pallekele on Thursday, with the West Indies knocking out Ireland to get to this stage, and their captain warning England that they can play ‘unbeateable’ World T20 cricket.
Nevertheless, England are the favourites in cricket betting for the win here at odds of 4/5 with the Windies trailing at Evens. England will want to go into the match with a positive outlook after suffering in a bad match against India in Sri Lanka on Sunday and they are only at evens to be the team of the top run scorer.

Craig Kieswetter was the only England batsman to come out of their dismal performance against India with his head held high and he’s at odds of 10/3 to be the top England batsman in Thursday’s match, along with Alex Hales and Luke Wright. His team mate Eoin Morgan is at 4/1 to be the top, and Michael Lumb is at 7/2.
For the Windies’ first fixture in the World T20 they suffered a 17-run defeat to Australia in a rain affected match before beating Ireland Monday which was also affected by the weather. The West Indies have failed to shine in recent major tournaments, and as a result will be hoping to reverse that trend in this tournament, with getting to the Super Eights an impressive start.
For punters who fancy betting on the top West Indies batsman, Chris Gayle is at odds of 15/8, trailed by Dwayne Smith and Lendl Simmons at 4/1, with Johnson Charles, Darren Bravo and Marlon Samuels at odds of 9/2.
