Japan to Win (+120)
Odds available at Sportsbet at time of publishing
Japan is listed at +120 to win against Hong Kong, which is a solid opportunity given how evenly matched these teams are. Japan has strong batting power and the conditions at Sano International Cricket Ground should favor some big hits.
The most concrete risk here is that both teams have shown moments of brilliance, making it tough to pick a clear winner. If Hong Kong's top players get going, they could easily take the game. However, Japan's home advantage and batting strength make them a solid choice for this match. It was priced at +120 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $22 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 Japan v Hong Kong. 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.
