West Indies to Win (+375)

West Indies brings a lot of batting power, and they can surprise anyone with their explosive style. Even though they are the underdogs, they have the talent to turn the game around on their day. India is a strong team, but they might underestimate the West Indies, which could make this match interesting. The biggest risk is that India has home advantage and is usually very tough to beat in front of their fans. Still, with the odds at +450, taking a chance on West Indies could pay off nicely if they find their rhythm. It was priced at +375 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $47.50 if it lands. This is a long shot at the price, so keep the stake small. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it.
