South Africa to Win (+134)
Odds available at Betfair at time of publishing
South Africa takes on Australia at SuperSport Park, and they have a solid chance to come out on top. They've shown strong batting power recently, which can really shine in this shorter format of cricket. The home crowd will also give them a boost, making it tough for Australia.
The risk is that Australia has a strong team too, so it could be close. But with South Africa being the underdog here, the odds are nice for a team that has a real shot to win. This match could be a great one to watch, and I believe South Africa will put on a good show. It was priced at +134 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $23.40 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 South Africa v Australia. 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.
