Birmingham Phoenix to Win (+180)

Odds available at TAB at time of publishing

In this match at Edgbaston, I'm picking Birmingham Phoenix to win against MI London. The conditions here are usually good for batting, and past games show that a lot of runs get scored, which is exciting. Birmingham is the underdog, but they have a real shot to pull off the win. They've got some strong hitters who can take advantage of the pitch. Just remember, anything can happen in cricket, so while I like this pick, there are no guarantees! It was priced at +180 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $28 if it lands. This one is priced as an outside chance. Our model has this as a long shot, so keep the stake small. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.

That is how our model reads Birmingham Phoenix v MI London. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back anything. And if a game does not feel right to you, the strongest move is to skip it -- there is another one tomorrow.
