Pakistan v Bangladesh T20 World Cup Cricket Betting:

World Champions Pakistan begin the defence of their hard earned crown with a Group A match against Bangladesh for which they have been installed as strong favourites to win with Ladbrokes who make them 2/7 odds on to win with Bangladesh surprisingly short in Ladbrokes betting at 5/2.

Pakistan won the 2009 tournament in England by beating Sri Lanka in the final, but they were a team who noticeably got stronger as the tournament went on. All-Rounder, Shahid Afridi was a huge inspiration for Pakistan last year and he will captain the team this time around. Afridi has been given odds by Ladbrokes.com of 6/1 to finish as top batsman in this match, but they make opener, Kamran Akmal favourite at a best price of 7/2.

Bangladesh come to the tournament more in hope than expectation, with both Pakistan and Australia in their Group they have little hope of qualifying. Nonetheless, will be happy to gain a little more competitive International cricket and if they can put up a show then they will leave the West Indies more than happy. There are those who like to back the outsider, particularly in a two horse race and although we think that they have little or no chance in this, the odds of 5/2 might seem attractive to them.

Tamim Iqbal, the 21 year old opening batsman for Bangladesh may well be worth a flutter on in the Top Bangladesh Batsman market, where he is currently a 3/1 chance with Ladbrokes. We think that these odds look really good value as Iqbal has looked head and shoulders above the rest of the Bangladesh batting line up in recent months. He has already become the second youngest player in Test Cricket history to have reached a 1000 runs; only the legendary Sachin Tendulkar can better that.
