T20 Cricket Betting Preview
The hosts Sri Lanka have booked their place in the Twenty20 cricket semi-finals and take on in-form Pakistan. Although the hosts are favourites in cricket betting to go through to Sunday’s final this will be a tough task for them and will require all they’ve got to come through on top.
Pakistan could possibly beat anyone on their day, coming past a powerful Australian line-up to reach the semi-finals, but they did lose to India in an earlier Super Eight match and can be caught out, will the hosts be able to overcome them? Sri Lanka are at odds of 4/5 in cricket betting for victory here. Both teams have performed well during the duration of this tournament though and it could go either way.

Sri Lanka finished first in the Super Eights while their opponents this afternoon finished second, proving this match really is a battle between the two best teams. Sri Lanka knocked out the defending champions to reach this position and it is expected the side will be unchanged. For punters who fancy betting on the top batsman, Mahela Jaywardene is in line for this one for the hosts priced at odds of 5/2 in cricket betting. Imran Nazir is one to watch for Pakistan and he’s priced at 7/2 to be top batsman with his team mate Mohammed Hafeez at odds of 3/1.
Whatever happens this match is set to be an exciting one, with Pakistan making their fourth consecutive appearance in a T20 semi-final proof that they have endless talent at their disposal and are a force to be reckoned with in world cricket. They will no doubt look to their spinners to bowl them to a win this afternoon, but the home side have the talent of Lasith Malinga (9/2 for best economy rate) who took a career best 5-31 whilst ousting England from the tournament. It certainly set to be a cracking affair in Colombo.
