Predictions for betting cricket at the world cup are plentiful, with only a month to go. The ICC Cricket World Cup will start on February the 19th, and fans betting cricket are getting geared up for the big day.
The event which lasts until April will see 14 national teams compete in a round robin style of tournament. The event will be co-hosted by India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
Pakistan was to have hosted, however security issues as well as scandals involving betting cricket, have concerned the ICC executives. A $10.5 million loss is expected to hit the Pakistani economy, due to the loss of $75,000 per match as well losses to local business that would have greatly profited from the games.
Paul Collingwood, a popular English batsman, has put his skills for betting cricket to use and passed on the teams likely to be in the finals. UK cricket betting fans may agree with the 34 year old.
“On current form I’d hope to put England into a semi final, it would be hard to not put India in there with the strength in their batting and in home conditions – they’ll be tricky to play against,” Collingwood said in an interview.
“I always think Australia can’t be ruled out since they’ve had a good history in this tournament and finally I’d pick South Africa as the fourth semi-finalist. But you never know I may be well off the mark!” he added.
“It’s a huge motivation to do well against Australia in all formats of the game. We want to keep the momentum going from the Test series and we want to carry that into the ICC Cricket World Cup. We want to finish the ODI series in Australia filled with confidence and ready to take on anyone at the World Cup,” Collingwood said.
So how for now in the UK, cricket betting is right on track, and we look forward to a stunning finish.
