Bairstow hands England a Cricket World Cup lifeline, Trump’s favourite footballer sends the USA into the Women’s World Cup semi-finals, and England nix Norway.

Bairstow blasts England past India – Cricket World Cup
Coming off 2 consecutive defeats, and facing the only unbeaten side left in the competition, England needed something special against India at the weekend. Up stepped Jonny Bairstow. His first World Cup century provided the spine of England’s 31 runs victory over the 2-time champions, keeping their hopes of reaching the semi-finals alive.

Despite an impressive 102 from Rohit Sharma, Bairstow’s 111 runs was the biggest total on Sunday. And with an opening spread of 46-51, that’s a potential 60 times your initial stake.

Rapinoe ends France’s World Cup – Women’s World Cup
Trump’s favourite footballer Megan Rapinoe was once again the difference maker for the USA, her brace against France maintaining the defending champions’ record of reaching every single Women’s World Cup semi-final (while also keeping up the country’s run of scoring within 12 minutes of kick-off).

Her 6th minute opener was followed by a 2nd just after an hour, taking her tournament tally to 5. That means she managed a Rapinoe SMM make-up of 135 against an original spread of 24-29, meaning you could have won 104 times your initial stake if you’d backed the Seattle Reign ace.

England reach 2nd consecutive semi-final – Women’s World Cup
Setting up a tasty tie against the USA, England breezed past Norway in the quarter-finals, the Lionesses coming away with their 2nd 3-0 knockout victory. In doing so they emulated their semi-final opponents, their opening goal coming after just 3 minutes courtesy of Jill Scott. If you’d sold the 1st Match Goal spread at 36-39, that’s 33 times your initial stake.

Haiti continue underdog Gold Cup run – CONCACAF Gold Cup
Ranked the 101st best team in the world by FIFA, Haiti are having a brilliant time of it in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. They topped Group B with 3 wins, including against Costa Rica, leading to Saturday’s quarter-final against Canada.

Things started poorly. The Canucks were up 2-0 in less than half an hour, requiring Haiti to score at least 3 goals for the first time in 2019 competition. Duckens Nazon brought them back into soon after the restart, while a converted spot kick from Herve Bazile drew them level 20 minutes later. With a quarter of the game to go Wilde-Donald Guerrier pushed them in front, completing a comeback that sent Haiti to the Gold Cup semi-finals for the first time in their history. Those late goals meant that a Total Goal Minutes spread of 117-127 saw a make-up of 242 – in other words, 115 times your initial stake.
