One Day International matches are generally fast and furious – perfect for In-Play betting! An ODI series between two countries generally accompanies a Test series – either preceding or following it. However, when making a betting selection on an ODI series, it’s important not to read too much into the Test matches that have taken place – one-day cricket is a totally different beast altogether.
For example, Australia, New Zealand and England contested the Commonwealth Bank Series in Jan & Feb 2007, directly after the Aussies had trounced England in the Ashes. However, that didn’t stop England triumphing 2-0 in the final after being backed at huge odds.
As with the Cricket World Cup matches, there are generally lots of pre-match and In-Play markets available on One Day Internationals. In addition to Match Result, you can bet on which team will have the highest score after 10 and 15 Overs. You can also bet on the Top Batsman for either team, along with Most Sixes and Highest Opening Partnership.
