If One-Day cricket carries with it a degree of unpredictability for punters, you can crank this up several notches when it comes to betting on Twenty20 cricket. While the Leicestershire Foxes have won the Cup twice since the competition’s inception four seasons ago, the truth is that roughly a dozen teams can win this every year and a huge slick of luck is required to win the spoils.

With teams only having 20 overs each, this format can act as a great leveller and often ensures a close finish which can be exceptionally nail biting for those with an enthusiasm for In-Play betting.  Although every team wants to win this competition, it’s certainly less of a priority than the County Championship and the whole idea of Twenty20 cricket is to broaden the appeal of the sport rather than create a silverware opportunity.

When it comes to match betting on this tournament, typical odds might be 4/6 about Team A and 11/10 about Team B. However, if the match is being played into twilight, the odds will swing in favour of the team that wins the toss and ultimately bats first. It’s generally acknowledged that it’s more difficult to bat under the lights than in daylight!
