We take a look at the two T20 World Cup games taking place last on Sunday including the massive clash between India and Pakistan.
India are the ruling favourites at 9/4 to win the T20 World Cup with Australia 3/1 and you have to go quite far down the betting boards to find Pakistan who are now 28/1 to win the Tournament.

INDIA v PAKISTAN
This game takes place at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in East Meadow, New York.
Both of these teams are playing their second match with India getting a convincing win over Ireland in their opening game. Ireland batted first and were bowled out for 96 and India chased it down with 7.4 overs to spare and only 2 wickets down.
Pakistan were on the wrong end of the biggest upset of the Tournament so far when they batted first against the United States and scored 159 for 7 after recovering from a really shaky start. The United States got the win though and it came in a Super Over.
Pakistan are now in serious danger of not qualifying for the next stage of the Tournament.

India 4/10
Pakistan 2/1
I can’t look past an Indian win here, but will be looking at some of the other markets available.
Suggested Bet: Indian Top Bowler, Bumrah at 16/10
Bumrah is a class act and a worthy favourite in this market. I am hoping the Pakistan batsman try and knock him off his line and length opening up opportunities for wickets.
Suggested Bet: Batsman Match Bet – most runs, Kohli 8/10/Azam
This is a match-up of the two top batsmen in either side and although Babar Azam scored runs last time out, he didn’t actually strike me as being in the best of form. Kohli had a brilliant IPL and I am looking for him to deliver here.

OMAN v SCOTLAND
This game takes place at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua and both teams will be playing their 3rd match of the Tournament.
Oman’s opening game was a low scoring affair against Namibia where they lost in the Super Over and they then gave Australia a good run for their money, losing by 39 runs last time out. Australia batted first scoring 164 for 5 and Oman found the quality Australians bowling line too strong, finishing on 125 for 9.
Scotland’s first game was a no result against England, but they were certainly travelling well at the time the game was abandoned on 90 without loss after 10 overs. Their next match was an even betting heat against Namibia and they won the game by 5 wickets. Namibia batted first scoring 155 for 9 and Scotland replied with 157 for 5 with 9 balls remaining.

Oman 9/4
Scotland 37/100
Suggested Bet: Oman Top Batter, Aqib Ilyas at 41 /20
He looked good in the reply against Australia, but got out just as he started to get going. He certainly looks a quality batsman and I think he leads the charge for his team here.
Suggested Bet: Scotland Top Bowler, Bradley Currie at 49/20
Fellow-opening bowler, Brad Wheal took these honours with 3 wickets in the game against Namibia but I was particularly impressed with Currie who picked up 2 wickets at just 4 runs an over. If he can reproduce that sort of spell, the Oman batsmen are going to battle against him.
