Essex have been made 4/5 odds on favourites by Blue Square to win this Twenty20 Cricket Cup Quarter Final against Lancashire, who are quoted at Even Money to deny them and win it themselves.
The match that will take place under floodlights at the County Ground in Chelmsford, and brings together two of the original favourites to win the tournament, although neither side has ever had the honour in the past. Lancashire came closest when Runners Up to Somerset in 2005, while Essex have been Semi Finalists in both 2006 and 2008.

Both sides boast big hitting batsmen, but in Ravi Bopara, Essex have a man in great form and who is anxious to keep his name ‘ in the England frame’ with the Ashes coming up at the end of the year. it is why we would not hesitate to back Bopara to finish as top batsman for Essex on the night with odds of 9/4 from Blue SQ. As for Lancashire, the safest bet in the top batsman market is surely the 3/1 available on the very consistent Stephen Moore, so often the Lightning hero this summer.
Whilst batting has tended to dominate the game of Twenty20, the bowlers are now managing to adjust in a much more comprehensive way, particularly the Slow left arm spin bowlers, who are tending to get wickets with increasing regularity. It is why we would back Grant Flower of Essex at 6/1 to be top bowler for Essex and Gary Keedy at 9/2 to be the same for Lancashire Lightning. These odds are available via Blue Square.
Regarding the outcome of the match we take Essex to take advantage of the home draw and expect them to win this match with a degree of comfort, although as we all know, Twenty20 outcomes can turn on its head at any point during a match. Nonetheless we will side with Essex and would also be tempted to back them to win the Twenty20 Cup outright this season at 13/2 also with Blue Sq Bookmakers.
