England v West Indies First T20 Betting
England and the West Indies will meet for the first of two Twenty20 international matches at the Oval. England are the World champions in this format of the game but the West Indies are always guaranteed to bring some of the best support in the sport of cricket.
The two sides have had some epic battles in recent times with the most notable being when the West Indies bowled out England for under 50 to signal the sacking of Peter Moores as coach and the arrival of Any Flower. England v West Indies first T20 betting will favour England heavily but there will be some West Indies players who shine.
Twenty20 Betting
Twenty20 betting is one of the few forms of cricket that isn't prone to change in the same way as a four-day game, a Test match or a 50 over game. The reason for this is simple. The match are only around an hour and a half long which means a bad start to an innings for one side is difficult to recover from.
The Twenty20 betting markets which are going to feature strongly in this match are the markets that predict direct results. This means Twenty20 betting markets such as picking the winner, picking the best bowler, the best batsman and how many runs one of the sides is going to make.
England in Twenty20
England in Twenty20 are just embarking on a new era. Stuart Broad has come in as skipper although he will miss the matches against the West Indies with a shoulder injury. England had a very different side when they won the World Cup but they have set a stunning example of how to transform one side into the next.
England in Twenty20 are very consistent. They very rarely have a bad day at the office. The reason for this is because they have managed to keep a number of experienced players in the team who can all do a job at the highest level of twenty over cricket. They have combined this experience well with the naivety of youth.
West Indies Cricket
West Indies cricket is loved around the world because the region brings passion and fun to the game. The crowds that follow the West Indies away from home often get involved in the banter which is one of the reasons a lot of neutrals back the West Indies. West Indies cricket is nowhere near as strong as it was a few years back but there are still some very good players in the team.
West Indies cricket is about pace. Some of the bowlers in the West Indies side such as Kemar Roach bowl the ball well in excess of 90 miles per hour. This is very difficult to cope with, even for the most experienced of the English top order. West Indies cricket is also full of players who like to smash the ball everywhere. Chris Gayle became an English hero when he hit Australian bowler Brett Lee out of the ground in a T20 match.
