England take on Pakistan in the first of two T20 cricket internationals in Cardiff this Sunday and have been made 4/7 odds on favourites to win it by Ladbrokes while Pakistan are quoted at 5/4.
The match will be played amidst one of the biggest cricket controversies ever known, and many are saying that it should not be played at all. The betting scandal which has dominated most sports pages this week and which has caused Pakistan to leave out the three players at the centre of the storm has taken its toll on the ticket sales for the match and has certainly tainted any further matches the Pakistan team take part in.
Nonetheless both teams have been asked to ‘stiffen their upper lips’ and get on with the business of competitive sport which hopefully will produce a meaningful and exciting T20 match. In recent T20 encounters between the two countries, England has had the edge, beating Pakistan in the Super 8 stage before going on to win the T20 World Cup. However, as we all know past results count for nothing in this version of the sport as it is one that is always decided ‘on the day’

England go into the match without Kevin Pietersen, who has effectively been dropped from the one day picture due to a lack of form. His absence means inclusion for Ravi Bopara who has been made7/2 favourite to be in England’s top batsman, with the rest of the top order all being at 4/1. Those of course include under pressure opener, Craig Kieswetter, who has already lost the gloves for this match and is playing as a batsman only.

Pakistan will once again be led by one day specialist, Shahid Afridi, who looks an interesting 8/1 bet to be Pakistan’s top bat, but favouritism at 4/1 is shared by Shahzaib Hasan, Umar Akmal and Mohammad Yousuf.
In the bowling department joint favourites to claim top wicket taker for England are Jimmy Anderson and Graeme Swann who are both around the 11/4 mark, while Umar Gul a T20 specialist bowler looks good value to us at 3/1 with Ladbrokes.com to top the Pakistan wicket taking list.
Selection 1: Eoin Morgan top England batsman @ 4/1 (£25 Bet wins £100)
Selection 2: Shahd Afridi top Pakistan Batsman @ 8/1 ( £25 Bet wins £200).
