ENGLAND VS IRELAND ICC WORLD TWENTY20 LIVE BETTING TIPS

England have their work cut out for them today in order to secure qualification to the Super 8’s after losing in a controversial Duckworth-Lewis-assisted to the West Indies. They are massive favourites here to dispose of the up-and-coming Irish side, but this being twenty20, you simply know that anything can happen.
England actually played pretty well against the West Indies, particularly the late stand between Eoin Morgan and Luke Wright who combined for 100 on the partnership. If they can replicate that and not throw away wickets early on, then this could very well be a stroll for the English side.

If you’re looking at the odds, it doesn’t look like England are being threatened at all as Ladbrokes is listing them as the 1.06 favourites to take the victory today in Providence. Ireland are trading at 8.0 and I expect the prices to fluctuate around a bit during the live betting, especially if Ireland bat first and start cobbling together a respectable total.
Both Lumb and Kieswetter had solid performances in the opening stand yesterday and you can actually take advantage of a match bet offer between these two limited-overs specialists. Kieswetter is just favoured at (-0.5) at a 1.83 price. A match bet on the Irish between Porterfield and Stirling is giving the edge to Porterfield by a (-1.5) margin.
Since we’re discussing handicaps, England have a highest opening partnership handicap of (-9.5) at a 1.83 price tag. England are favoured to post a higher 1st over score with a 1.61 price against Ireland’s 3.0. A draw on the 1st over is priced at 6.0.
England’s first wicket is expected to fall at the 25 mark while Ireland are expected to drop around 16. England are also favoured in the most sixes market with a 1.4 price while Ireland trade at 2.75.
Personally, I think this one is all about England and could really be one for the live punters if you’re out there looking for value. I think Eoin Morgan, Kevin Pietersen and Luke Wright are the keys for England, but if they get in trouble they have an able batting deputy in Graeme Swann. I think if Ireland win the toss and choose to bat first then you should save your outright wagers on England until Ireland start ticking up the runs. You’ll likely get a bit more value that way.
