T20 World Cup: Best Bets For The Opening Weekend

On Sunday, the T20 World Cup starts with an intriguing clash between two associate nations, the USA and Canada, at Grand Prairie Stadium. On the same day, one of the tournament favourites, West Indies take on Papua New Guinea at Providence Stadium. Let’s look at the best bets to take for these two encounters.

USA vs Canada

Sunday, 2 June at 02:30

Venue: Grand Prairie Stadium

As the T20 World Cup kicks off with a clash between two associate nations, this match may initially seem unremarkable to neutral fans. However, there’s potential for excitement in Texas as the United States team dubbed the “all-star world XI,” aims to challenge Group A contenders like Ireland and Pakistan. Having shown resilience against Nepal, Canada won’t be an easy opponent, but the current form of the US team suggests they have the upper hand in this intriguing opener.

Prediction: USA to win at 1.39.

Best Bet: Aaron Jones to be the USA’s top batter at 5.50.

Alternative USA to score the highest score in the 1st 6 overs at 1.60.

West Indies vs Papua New Guinea

Sunday, 2 June at 16:30

Venue: Providence Stadium

The West Indies have had some unexpected defeats over the past decade, including a surprising loss to Afghanistan in 2016, despite ultimately winning the tournament in India. However, this time around, they’re on home turf and in high spirits with Daren Sammy at the helm. The team boasts a good mix of seasoned players and young talent, setting the stage for a dominant performance in their opening match in Guyana. A strong victory is anticipated for the West Indies as they kick off their campaign.

Prediction: West Indies to win at 1.005.

Best Bet: Johnson Charles to score 50+ runs at 5.00.

Alternative Bet: Johnson Charles to score over 29.5 runs at 1.86.
