Cricket World Cup Odds

With the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup well and truly underway, it only now remains to be seen who will lift the coveted trophy at the end! The 14-team tournament, which started on February 19th 2011 and will continue to 2nd April 2011, has had plenty of controversy surrounding, not least the length of time that it runs. Andrew Strauss, the England captain, told BBC’s Sportsweek: “Ideally it wouldn’t be six weeks long.”

Which is great, if you’re one of the top 8 countries that always makes the World Cup, not so terrific if you’re from a smaller nation that uses the World Cup as a platform to showcase the sport in your country. And on that note, with the 2015 ICC World Cup set to host just 10 countries, that’s exactly what’s going to happen! Big countries in, little countries out!

With two games already in the bag, New Zealand have gotten themselves off to a great start with a 10 wicket win over Kenya, while India beat Bangladesh by 87 runs. Sri Lanka v Canada are set to do battle later today with Australia v Zimbabwe ready to take each other on tomorrow, Monday 21st February, and England have their opening game against Holland on Tuesday 22nd.

With many, many weeks to go, it’s all to play for and the latest and best odds are below…
