Cricket T20 World Cup betting tips, England’s approach to this game will have shifted significantly after Australia’s hard-fought victory against Afghanistan on Friday.

As a consequence on the Cricket T20 World Cup betting, England has a significant Net Run-Rate lead over Australia, which means that a win against Sri Lanka is all that is needed for Jos Buttler’s team to finish second in Group 1 and go to the semi-finals. Sri Lanka undoubtedly surpassed expectations in Australia, but they still fell short against the top teams and were blown away by New Zealand’s formidable seam attack on this identical pitch a week ago at the Cricket T20 World Cup betting.
If the real England shows up, they should make short work of their opponents. However, the betting reflects this, and with England’s batting order throwing up some shocks in the last match, we’ll have to tread cautiously for a bet there. For Sri Lanka at the Cricket T20 World Cup betting, the scenario is considerably clearer, and I’ve written about the qualities of Sri Lanka skipper Dasun Shanaka in my entire match preview here. Shanaka is a fantastic buy in the top Sri Lanka batting market.
PREVIEW OF SRI LANKA VS. ENGLAND
South Africa vs. Netherlands

South Africa would advance to the semi-finals with a victory against the Netherlands, capping up an excellent Super 12 campaign that had been blemish-free until Pakistan staged an incredible comeback in Sydney on Thursday. The Netherlands’ lone success in the Super 12s has been a five-wicket win against Zimbabwe, and their batting has been dismal throughout, even making hard work of a short run chase of 118 on that occasion.
Expect them to struggle against a powerful South African pace assault led excellently by ANRICH NORTJE and LUNGI NGIDI, and supporting that combination in the Man of the Encounter market appears the angle entering this match. Nortje has 10 wickets at an average of 8.40 in the tournament so far, while Ngidi has seven at 11.57, and both will be salivating at the thought of tucking into a struggling Netherlands batting line-up.
South Africa’s way to a major win seems to be with the ball, and Nortje at 14/1 and Ngidi at 12/1 are reasonably priced up. Despite a dismal World Cup so far, I’m ready to give TOM COOPER another shot in the top Netherlands batsman market, with odds of 13/2 simply too huge.
Cooper has a great First-Class record in Australia, having spent his whole career with South Australia in Adelaide. Cooper’s fast 32 in the Netherlands’ victory over Zimbabwe was no surprise, and we know he has the game to prevail against South Africa’s powerful speed attack. Cooper might be the standout in a weak field and is well worth a bet at the present odds.
India vs. Zimbabwe

India are likely to win their last Super 12 game against Zimbabwe at the Cricket T20 World Cup betting, and KL RAHUL is anticipated to build on his impressive half-century earlier in the week. The India opener came into the competition in fine form, and although beginning softly, he looked in silky touch while stroking precisely 50 from 32 balls in Adelaide. Rahul has been one of the most consistent performers in the IPL for many years, and his ability to bat through the innings and churn out large scores has been a trademark of his game.
