Cricket Odds: Big Bash Crunch Time
January 21st, 2015 by G WaldorfThe bookies at our favourite online betting sites only have four franchises left amongst the Cricket odds for the 2015 Big Bash, and three of them are in action before the semi-finals get underway. Tonight sees the Stars and the Scorchers clash in a game that will see both sides looking to lay down a serious marker ahead of a potential finals encounter, and then, tomorrow night, the Sixers get the chance to settle the nerves and right the right kind of form against the Thunder. That will be the plan, anyway…
Looking at the Cricket odds for those two games, you can see that it’s pretty tight between the Stars and the Scorchers, with odds of $1.87 the shorter of the two by a shade, and sitting next to the Scorchers on Sportsbet as of right now. The Sixers are expected to have an easier time of things against the Thunder, and they’re at odds of $1.38 to go into the semi-finals with a win behind them. Looking ahead to the finals, though, the Sixers are not the bookies’ favourites to make 2015 a winning year. Both the Strikers and the Scorchers are sitting on odds of $3.25 to claim the 2015 title, with the Stars a $3.75 bet and the Sixers seeing longer odds of $4.50. You’ll get the chance to see them in action tomorrow night, but they look to us like they might be value for a late charge.
Meanwhile, the tri-series continues on Friday night with another clash between Australia and England. For obvious reasons, the Aussies go into this one as strong favourites, but with odds of $2.38, and buckets of stung pride, plus strong motivation for players to grab a berth in the World Cup squad, the English might be worth a little look…
