T20 World Cup predictions, odds and cricket betting tips: England can go far

Jonny Bairstow and Jos Buttler starred in England's T20 series in India in March.

T20 World Cup starts on Sky Sports Cricket from 11am Sunday.

The T20 World Cup is taking place in India. There is a round-robin format in Group A (Ireland, Namibia, Sri Lanka and Netherlands) and Group B (Bangladesh, Papua New Guinea, Scotland and Oman). The top two from each section progress to the Super 12 stage. The 12 teams are split into Group One and Groups Two.

It's been more than five years since the West Indies were crowned Twenty20 world champions in Kolkata. Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer are injured for the T20 World Cup. India are the team to beat according to bookmakers.

England have a good squad for the T20 World Cup in the UAE. They would like to have Stokes and Archer, but they have plenty of other options. Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid, Tom Curran and Chris Jordan are experienced death bowlers. Tymal Mills, who was signed on a £1.4m contract by Bangalore in 2017, and Mark Wood add pace and zip to the attack. Virat Kohli has given up the captaincy of Bangalore and will step down as India's T 20 skipper at the end of the World cup.

South Africa are considered outsiders of the four confirmed runners in Group One. They beat the T20 world champions 3-2 in the Caribbean in July and thumped Ireland and Sri Lanka 3 -0. Australia have struggled to get their first 11 on the field recently and the Windies are heavily reliant on their power hitters. Bet365 offers up to £100 in Bet Credits for new customers at bet365.
