CRICKET – ENGLAND v AUSTRALIA T20 SERIES

The dust may be just settling on the English Test summer which was rounded off by defeat against Sri Lanka at the Oval, but in the ever-revolving world of modern cricket, the Aussies are in town for a T20 series.

With an entirely new white ball side compared to the red ball outfit, Brendon McCullum will be hoping to sprinkle some ‘Bazball’ magic following Matthew Mott’s dismissal after a dismal T20 World Cup defence.

England met Australia in the Caribbean and were roundly trounced by 26 runs in the pool sage of the World Cup. Unsurprisingly based off that result in Barbados, the hosts are 11/8 to secure a victory tomorrow with Welsh-born Phil Salt captaining the side for the first time. The visitors, with a wealth of talent can be backed to win on the south coast at 4/7.

In addition to our fixed odds, we will have a full range of cricket spread betting options from player run spreads to Sixes Squared.
