India 1/10
Bangladesh 11/2
India should be too strong here and my attention is focused on the top Indian Bowler market. Arshdeep Singh was unlucky not to deliver this bet for us in the last match with Bumrah’s economy proving the difference. He is in great form though and looks worth another shot in the hope Bangladesh treat Bumrah with loads of respect.
Suggested Bet: Top Indian Bowler Arshdeep Singh at 21/10

SUNDAY

Afghanistan had to chase 180 for 8 set by India in their first Super 8 encounter, but they were under pressure early and only managed to reach 134 all out in their 20 overs. Azmatullah Omarzai topped their batting with 26, which included 2 fours and 1 six, off 20 balls.
Australia played Bangladesh in their Super 8 first match and were chasing 140 runs when rain put a premature end to the game and Australia, who were on 100 for 2, won by 28 runs on the DLS method. In the batting department, David Warner topped the board with 53 runs not out, which included 5 fours and 3 sixes, off 35 balls.
Pat Cummins was named Player of the Match with his 3 wickets for 29 runs in 4 overs.

Afghanistan 34/10
Australia 1/5
Australia should be too strong here but they are understandably short in the betting and I will look to some of the alternative markets.
Adam Zampa has bowled excellently in this tournament and currently sits 2nd on the wickets log with 11. Afghanistan fancy themselves against spin and this could open up wicket taking opportunities and a crack at the Player of the Match.
Suggested Bet: Player of the Match Adam Zampa at 9/1
