Ashes Result Rattles Odds On Australia In The T20 World Cup

When it comes to miracles there’s no one quite like the English Cricket team this summer. From the World Cup thriller to the Headingley spectacular it’s been quite the ride for the players, fans and selectors. Looking ahead, however, the odds on Australia in the T20 World Cup at Unibet, one of the best online betting sites in Australia these days, still have the hosts as favorites on 3/1. That’s far better than England get, but in Ben Stokes they might have a winning weapon. 

“It was just an amazing game to be part of.” Said Ben Stokes, national cricketing hero, a man who at the crease might be phenomenal but in front of the cameras looks like he might bolt at any second. “To keep our Ashes hopes alive was a pretty special feeling.” Admitted the man now ranked alongside great all-rounders like Ian Botham and Andrew Flintoff. The man who has single handedly closed England up on those odds on Australia in the T20 World Cup next year.

His innings at Headingley might not, were one wholly honest, be the best Test knock ever seen. However, his ability to rack up runs, demoralize the opposing attack and defend the strike in a time of crisis, under the most ridiculous pressure possible, bodes exceedingly well for England in the briefer cricketing formats. That then means if you’re thinking about a bet on sports in Australia those odds on Australia in the T20 World Cup next year, which they’re hosting, are pretty much based on that home field advantage, rather than their actual performances recently.

Ben Stokes Could Be Aussie’s Nemesi

Don’t misunderstand. The Aussies are a formidable force at home, and no one in their right mind would bet against them being in the top two, the odds on Australia in the T20 World Cup have them as favorites to win and a scant 11/10 to reach the final. This definitely puts the 9/2 England garners in perspective and on the back of Stokes’ performance makes it an opportunity. On a roll right now, if England manage to win the Ashes series that price will drop massively in an instant.

Unibet will even give you 7/4 on them reaching the final, although that does place England behind India who get a very reasonable 6/4 to be one of the top two, and an exceedingly tempting 7/2 on winning. India’s breadth of experience in the format is unparalleled. The IPL gives them the perfect foundation for an amazing T20 squad and makes them well worth taking advantage of Australian gambling laws to back if those odds on Australia in the T20 World Cup don’t appeal. 

Odds On Australia In The T20 World Cup Hold At 3/1

So then whilst the odds on Australia in the T20 World Cup are likely to hold firm in the top slot the actual opportunities lie with some of the other teams. New Zealand, let us remember, came within a few feet of winning the World Cup, and rightfully get 13/2 at the bookies like Unibet, with none of their opponents under estimating them. If there’s a team flying under the radar right now it’s South Africa at 11/2, they might have issues, but they’re working on them very fast.

Just who’ll triumph down under is still up in the air, but if you don’t particularly like the odds on Australia in the T20 World Cup there’s enough opportunity with the other prices on offer at Unibet, one of the best online sportsbook sites in Australia now, to make it worth getting your wagers in early. Ben Stokes need only pull off a couple more miracle innings and you’ll wish you got in on this now, because their price will drop like a stone if they actually regain the Ashes.
