icc cricket world cup 2021 betting oddsCricket odds to win the ICC T20 World Cup
Cricket betting is incredibly popular worldwide and cricket odds for the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup remain on the board after the tournament, originally scheduled for October/November 2020, was pushed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic that has rocked the world.
There are 16 nations involved in the T20 World Cup, which generates massive betting handle at sportsbooks around the globe. Here’s a deeper look at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup cricket odds.
India, now set to host the tournament after Australia was originally supposed to last year, is the betting favorite to win the ICC T20 World Cup at +250. The hosts are closely followed by England (+350) and Australia (+400).
The West Indies are the reigning T20 World Cup champions, winning the tournament in 2016, but are currently ranked just 10th in the ICC world rankings and are tied for fifth on the odds board at +900.
According to the ICC T20 team rankings, South Africa is currently the fifth-highest ranked team in the world, but has good value as a +1,100 live long shot to win the upcoming World Cup.

The 2021 ICC T20 Cricket World Cup will be held in India after the tournament was moved not just from 2020 to 2021, but from Australia to India. In announcing the location change to India, the ICC confirmed the T20 World Cup would still take place in October and November.
The T20 World Cup, formerly known as the ICC World Twenty20, is an international cricket tournament that takes place every few years. The first-ever T20 World Cup took place in 2007 and the last tournament was held in 2016. The next T20 World Cup is scheduled for 2021 in India.
Despite India being the favorites for the upcoming T20 World Cup, no host nation has ever won the tournament and only one host team has ever made it to the finals (Sri Lanka in 2012).
Here are the T20 World Cup winners and runners-up since the tournament began in 2007.
Twenty20 cricket, usually shortened to T20, is a format of cricket that is played over approximately three hours. Each side plays a single innings which ends either after 20 overs or when every player has batted out (generally the 20 overs limit will be reached before all wickets are taken).
An over is a period of six legal deliveries by a bowler. An individual bowler is limited to a maximum of four overs per contest, limiting the impact that an elite bowler can have on a game.
With the fielding team penalized for slowing down the game and the batting team attempting to score as many runs as possible within a fixed period of time, T20 features aggressive batting and fast-paced play which makes for a highly entertaining brand of cricket.
Sportsbooks will post odds to win big tournaments such as the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup as soon as the previous tournament finishes. These odds will continually adjust based on the results of international test matches and the performances of individual players. Sportsbooks will also adjust the cricket odds based on handle and liability to certain teams.
Cricket futures odds will usually look like this:
England +200
This means that if you placed a $100 bet on England to win the 2019 Cricket World Cup, you would have won $200 when they eventually won.
If one nation is particularly dominant, it’s possible you might see a team with a minus sign (-) ahead of its odds, like India just before the 2018 Asia Cup.
India -120
This means that you had to bet $120 to win $100 by wagering on India to win the tournament.

The T20 World Cup begins on Sunday 16th october and runs right through to the final on the 13th November. The tournament was originally due to take place back in 2020 but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
History
This is the eighth running of the T20 World Cup, with the inaugural tournament taking place back in 2007. The tournament is usually played every two years but has sometimes been moved around due to the Cricket World Cup (ODI) and the now defunct ICC Champions Trophy.
Only the West Indies have won the tournament on more than one occasion and no team has ever won the tournament when hosting.

Format
The sixteen teams consist of the sides that made the Super 12 phase of the 2021 tournament and four teams that finished top of the global qualifiers. They are:
2021 Super 12 qualifiers:
Australia (Host)
Afghanistan
Bangladesh
England
India
Namibia
New Zealand
Pakistan
Scotland
South Africa
Sri Lanka
West Indies

The bottom four ranked teams from the 2021 edition, along with the global qualifiers will have to qualify for the Super 12 stage. The top two from Group A and Group B, will join the top eight ranked teams in the Super 12 stage. The top two from each Super 12 group, will then progress to the semi finals.
Cricket Betting Odds
England to win @ 3/1
England appear to be peaking at just the right time. After a demolition of the Netherlands earlier in the year, England lost back-to-back home series against India and South Africa – unthinkable for the quality in this team. A great series win against Pakistan got them back on track and they appear to have carried that momentum into their adventures down under.
The belief is back amongst the squad and everyone is contributing. They have already defeated the Aussies in a three match series and have fearsome hitting throughout the batting line up (Buttler, Hales, Stokes, Brook, Ali, Livingstone), some serious wheels in Topley and Wood, guile in Curran and Willey and some mystery spin in Rashid. If they don’t make the final it would be a huge under-achievement.
Dawid Malan top tournament batter e/w (1/4 4 places) @ 22/1
England no. 3 Dawid Malan is precisely the player they need in a team full of bludgeoners. He knits the innings together wonderfully and it’s no surprise that he was recently ranked the #1 T20 batter in the world. The 35-year-old was superb in the recent Pakistan and Australia series, with two innings of 82 and 78* particularly memorable.
Malan averages 39.73 in T20I with a strike rate of 138 and should England go all the way, he could easily find himself in the top four run scorers. The Pakistan pair of Babar and Rizwan lead the betting here but I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t make the semi-finals, which could be very costly in this market.
Odean Smith top tournament bowler e/w (1/4 4 places) @ 33/1
The outright markets have been skewed a little here with the extra potential games played in the pre-qualifying groups for the Super 12 stage. All games count on these markets, so it makes sense to look at the two teams most likely to qualify, West Indies and Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka leg-spinner Wanindu Hasaranga is the 7/1 favourite and I have no problem with that, I could certainly see him winning. However, I’m tempted to get a little more juice for my buck and am looking at the Windies pace attack. Obed McCoy (14/1) and Alzajji Joseph (20/1) were both tempting but I’m plumping for Odean Smith at 33’s.
Barrel-chested and bowling a hard ball, Smith is a tough prospect to get away for any batter. He should have a field day against the likes of Ireland, Scotland and Zimbabwe in the middle overs. He has a strike rate of just 16.3 and took three wickets in three of his last six T20 internationals.
