We always knew we could bet on the T20 World Cup to surprise us. It’s certainly surprised India. Online sportsbook sites in the UK like Bet365 are now giving England the shortest of the T20 World Cup odds available. They’re now clear favorites after qualifying for the knockout stages with some great performances. But who will join them in the final four alongside Pakistan? Can Eoin Morgan’s boys really bring home the trophy? Could they go unbeaten in the tournament?

England were always in with a shout. They entered the tournament with a good chance that has only gotten better after some superb performances. Jos Buttler particularly has stood out helping the side to four wins in four games. They’ve played well at the crease, wielded a devastating attack, and fielded like acrobats. They appear every bit the champions right now. So none of the qualifying sides will read those T20 World Cup odds and really look forward to playing them.

England dominated the West Indies and embarrassed Australia. Jos has scored a century and there have been some catches to write home about. Anyone who bet on England pretournament will cackle at just how well they’ve played. Unlike those who bet on India. They’ll not smile quite as much. Sure, the pretournament favorites may still qualify, but if so it’ll be by the skin of their teeth. Online betting sites in the UK like Bet365 now give them T20 World Cup odds of 10/1.  

England Go Unbeaten As India Fade Away

So England now top their group and wait to see who will join them in the final four. Most assume that will be Australia who’ve the NRR to hold onto their slot. However, over in the other group things are far less clear. Pakistan, who get the second best T20 World Cup odds at the moment are through, but the other slot? Still up for grabs. At the time of writing Afghanistan occupy that second berth, but for how much longer? Most expect India or New Zealand to get that 2nd place.

Odds On The T20 World Cup  

• West Indies – 200/1
• Afghanistan – 66/1
• South Africa – 12/1
• India – 10/1
• New Zealand – 6/1
• Australia – 5/1
• Pakistan – 9/4
• England – 13/8

Unfortunately India are not playing as well as anyone expected, least of all India themselves. The initial loss to Pakistan setting the seal on their mood. Still, they do have some matches in hand, and if New Zealand don’t stay steady could qualify. Not that you will get odds on New Zealand to throw away the opportunity. Any more than you would take advantage of UK gambling laws to bet on Afghanistan. Their T20 World Cup odds might now be better, but they’re far from safe.

Bet365 Has All The T20 World Cup Odds You Need

At 66/1 Afghanistan are still massive outsiders. Online bookies in the UK like Bet365 give them little or no chance to stay ahead of India and New Zealand. Indeed you can bet on New Zealand to beat them next week and end their dream. Possibly ending India’s at the same time. India of course face two rather easy group games now, but winning them may not prove enough. They need New Zealand to slip up against Nambia, and the chances of that are very slim indeed. 

“You always have to believe because if you don’t, nobody else will.”

• Eoin Morgan – England Captain

So the odds on England are well worth checking out if you like to bet on sports in the UK. The final four will prove more of a challenge for Eoin Morgan and Co, but nothing insurmountable. Indeed if they continue to play as they have been doing so far they should cruise to victory. Albeit with perhaps a little resistance from Pakistan. Then again, everyone thought India were the best bet on the T20 World Cup and look where their T20 World Cup odds languish right now.
