2015 Cricket World Cup Latest Betting Tips PT 2
- By A.J. Ryder on March 4, 2015 01:35 GMTLooking ahead to the next set of fixtures, we have Australia coming in as the prohibitively massive favourites against associate nation Afghanistan - who have actually been pretty solid so far this tournament. It’s nice to see that there is something to cheer for in a country that has not seen good times in several decades.

Punters will find the Australians coming in at a microscopic price of 1/66 for the outright victory here while their Afghani counterparts trade at a 16/1 margin, making them one of the biggest underdogs in a match throughout the tournament. The big variable here is whether the Aussies have had a real drop-off in confidence since they fell apart against the New Zealanders.
There won’t be many who bet against them but it will be fascinating to see how things pan out as the Australians try to use this as a chance to put their loss against their rivals behind them.
The other match-up features Bangladesh taking on Scotland in a fixture that will likely be very competitive as the two sides will be sensing an opportunity here as both of them need to victory in order to ensure progression in the tournament.
Scotland were beaten by Afghanistan and that was a significant setback that has ratcheted them up to 11 World Cup losses in a row - obviously something will have to give. Sri Lanka were able to dispose of Bangladesh relatively comfortably and they will be looking to this fixture as instrumental in their chances of progressing.
Bangladesh come into the match-up as the significant 1/4 favourites while Scotland are trading at a solid 3/1 price that may entice some punters to come out of the woodwork and have a bash against the Bangladeshis.
