 September 19 - Believe it or not but online sportsbooks have named the
Australian cricket team, lead by captain Ricky Ponting, as the favorites to win
the inaugural Twenty20 World Championships currently being hosted in South
Africa.
After suffering a surprise defeat at the hands of Zimbabwe, Australia showed
grit by bouncing back to make mincemeat of both England and Bangladesh, and
re-emerge as the leading contenders to become the Twenty20 World Champions.
According to leading international online sportsbook, Ladbrokes, Australia are
the favourites to win the exciting limited-over cricket series with 13 to 8
odds, giving them the credit to bring home the championship and
US$2.24m winners' cheque.
Pleasingly for South African cricket lovers, the SA cricket team have been
placed second to win the Twenty20 World Championships with odds of 4 to 1,
followed by Sri Lanka at 5 to 1, New Zealand at 8 to1, and Pakistan at 12 to 1.
England, however, have been given odds of only14 to 1 to win the Championships after
they were given a 'hiding' by the Australians last week. Online sportsbooks, such as William Hill, have given India odds of 28 to 1 to win and Bangladesh
100 to 1 odds after its knocked the West Indies out of the tournament.
With a total prize pool of over $5m up for grabs in the Twenty20 World
Championships, there are still many games to go and everything to play for, as

in bets via their favourite online sports betting sites.
