The cricket T20 World Cup is one of the most anticipated events in the cricket industry and as a result, there is always massive hype around it. With all the activity directed at who the possible winners of the tourney will be, we have to ask the question, are <a href="https://cricketprediction.com/odds/t20-world-cup/" rel="nofollow">cricket T20 World Cup betting</a> sites picking the right favourite or are bettors going to wager on the underdogs.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/05/T20-Worl-Cup-2020-Australia-1024x580.png" alt="" class="wp-image-10795"/></figure>



There are already odds being predicted and many are wondering which team will grab the gold and should be wagered on. Though the T20 has been cancelled until further notice, there is still massive hype around the cricket event and punters want to know which team to bet on.



While Australia is one of the favourites in running for the T20 World Cup, there are some who believe the team shouldn?t be considered as <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-ultimate-favorites-list/stevo200" rel="nofollow">the ultimate favourite</a> due to a number of underlining factors. Here we take a look at what these might be and possibly why Australia isn?t the right team to bet on as the favourites.



Australia Statistics T20



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/05/T20-Worl-Cup-2020-Australia-2.png" alt="" class="wp-image-10794"/></figure>



We can only kook oat the facts and the fact is that Australia performed poorly after having made only one final and then losing to England. The loss was a severe one leaving Australian supporters with a bitter taste.



Another fact to look at is that Australia has a win record of just over 55 percent which places the team as the 6th best team to have played in more than just one tournament. This rank isn?t a very promising one and there is no indication of improving this rank in the near future unless players on the team suit up for some serious competition.



There is mounting pressure on top of these restricting statistics as the Women?s Australia team won the T20 and what a win it was. Now to compete with that and after the dull season Australia has had so far, it?s safe to say that the team is feeling the pressure from supporters as well as their own captain.



What Works In Favour of Australia Winning



The only factor working in favour of voting Australia as the favourites is that the cricket team came in second in the T20 rankings which were made public in March. Australia has the home advantage and while this may be the case there isn?t much supporting evidence that Australia has what it takes to go for the win.



By overestimating the odds of Australia winning, simply because the team has the home advantage, sportsbooks risk losing future bets especially if the odds are grossly overestimated.



Some sportsbooks think Australia has a 3 to 1 chance of winning while other believe the odds to be far less in favour with Australia coming out on top as the Cup winners.



Competing Teams



What further weakens the chance of Australia taking home the win is that the team is going up against India; many sportsbooks believe the odds are in favour of Pakistan. West Indies also stand a good chance of winning the title and New Zealand is also in the running. These teams weaken the chance Australia had of winning but it also does present opportunity for a more thrilling competition.



Which Team Is In The Running for Favourites



India is set to be the favourite amongst many reputable sportsbooks. However, though Australia hasn?t had a fantastic season, there is a chance that the team takes the win and in that case, overestimated odds would work in favour of those who have strongly believed the team would always win.



Only time will reveal the winner when the T20 opens, it has been well worth the wait and bettors have had the luxury of evaluating which team would win and which will lose. Where Australia falls remains to be seen. Maybe luck will turn and the Aussies will put a show that takes the win!

Are Australia The Right Favourites for the T20 World Cup?

"Cameron has already won selection in the white-ball squad and continues that in joining the Test squad. He is a wonderful young talent who has great potential to become an allrounder of substance over time. His batting alone has demanded his place in the squad."

Pat Cummins has been named as Australia?s new Vice-Captain for limited over cricket (T20I and ODI). While talking about the IPL and Bio Bubble, the Australian Vice-Captain says, he feels fresh ahead of Australia vs India Series.



The Speedster played for Kolkata Knight Riders in Indian Premier League 2020 in UAE, believes that Playing in Bio Secure Bubble has benefitted him ahead of Australia vs India series. The Australian said, in usual IPL every second day is traveling which is exhausting sometimes but the Bio Bubble has kept him fresh.



<h2>Pat Cummins on Bio Bubble and Australian Pitches:</h2>



<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Look out, India!<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AUSvIND?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AUSvIND</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/samuelfez?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@samuelfez</a> <a href="https://t.co/LlceExK3SV">https://t.co/LlceExK3SV</a>&mdash; cricket.com.au (@cricketcomau) <a href="https://twitter.com/cricketcomau/status/1328224402018852870?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 16, 2020</a></blockquote> 



?One of the benefits of being in a bubble in the UAE was we didn?t spend much time traveling,? Cummins to cricket.com.au.



?A normal IPL we?re on a flight every second day, different city, so I think sometimes that can be as draining as the playing part,? he added.



?No doubt as well, the six or seven months we had at home (during the winter) put us in a pretty good place leading into the England tour and IPL. Coming in fresh to those tours it doesn?t feel like the end of the summer, it feels like I?m ready to start the tour and in a pretty good place,? the fast bowler further said.



India will be on an Australian tour for 3 months, where 3 T20Is, 3 ODIs, and 4 Tests will be played between both the teams.&nbsp;The tour has already started with both the teams practicing under Biosecure Bubble for 14 days. The official tour will begin with 3 ODIs, with the first one being played in Sydney on 27th November.



Pat Cummins further said, ?Hopefully, pitches will react as what the Aussies are accustomed to. The surface got a bit more pace and bounce to what they get in India, that?s where a home advantage comes in.?



?Australian pitches give tough times to the Indian Batsmen?, he added.

The former Australian pacer, Glenn McGrath speaks in support of Australia ahead of India vs Australia. McGrath feels Australia has a slight edge over India because of left arm Pacer Mitchell Stark. India will be buoyed with the series win against Australia back in 2018-19.



?Bowlers will have a job to do in the test series. Mohd. Shami has great control and can swing the ball on both sides, Umesh has got raw pace. Bumrah is just class. He has great mental strength. His second and third spells are as quick as the first one. You have guys who, if on fire, are tough to beat but on the par, you have Josh Hazlewood, he can hit the right areas with the ball,? McGrath to the select media in an interaction organized by Sony.



?Pat Cummins is no 1 bowler in the world right now. He gets slightly different angles because of the way he runs in. Then they have, Mitchell Starc, the left arm lethal pacer. When he gets right, he can easily pick four or five at a go. He has got that X-Factor. If Both the teams are bowling on with top performances, I will rate Australia slightly higher because of the left-arm pacer.?

<h2>McGrath on Cheteswar Pujara:</h2>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2020/11/Cheteshwar-Pujara.jpg" alt="Cheteshwar Pujara scoring century against Sri Lanka" class="wp-image-21459" /><figcaption>Cheteshwar Pujara against Sri Lanka | Image - AFP</figcaption></figure></div>



India?s win against Australia back in 2018-19 was because of the valiant efforts from Pujara. Cheteshwar scoring 571, including 3 centuries made it easy for Team India. However, this time he will have to put in some extra efforts.



?Pujara is one of the two players in Indian Test squads who is not featured in any cricket match since March, thanks to Covid-19. Cheteshwar Pujara lastly played in the Ranji Trophy final in March. He is out of the game for almost 10 months, although he is practicing with the state team Saurashtra in nets.?



?McGrath feels he has to work harder for his runs to make a big impact due to lack of match time and not batting long.?



<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/india-squad-for-odis-t20is-and-test-date-venues-fixtures/">Read: Australia vs India Full Schedule and Squads</a>



?The last time he was successful to compile runs was that he occupied the crease for long. He is not the kind of batsman who feels pressure for not scoring runs. The modern-day cricketers want to convert the next over for a big if one over gets maiden. Pujara does not have that mindset, which helped him last time.?



<h2>McGrath on Australian Pitches:</h2>



The changing pitches is not a problem anymore for the current lineup, unlike in the past where they had to adjust to the pace and the bounce from the Australian Pitches. The surfaces have changed its character over the year.



?In the early days, Indian batsmen were not used to the pace and bounce from the pitches. But these now have become more flatter. I would not say they was real fear but the inexperienced bounce and pace troubled them. I don?t think Australian pitches have the same pace and bounce. But they are still quicker than what they get in India.?



?The first test will be interesting, as India has never experienced the Day and Night test game in Australia. With the sun setting, it will start favoring pacers. It is about a time when you are bowling and batting. Virat will have to make an impact in the first game itself, he won?t be plying more of them because of paternity leave.?



?As far as other batsmen are concerned, Rohit Sharma is a quality player. He has not shown anything big in overseas Test cricket but in absence of Virat he will definitely step up. You can not depend on one player, especially in the longest format of the game. You have Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, KL Rahul, and many more, they have a quality lineup,? he concluded.

The Australian Wicket Keeper Batsman, Alex Carey said, he is hoping to get his T20I position back in Australia vs India T20I series. Alex Carey told, he has worked on his technical part under Ricky Pointing back in IPL 2020.



The Wicket Keeper Batsman had the fortune to work under the former World Cup-winning skipper of Australia, Ricky Pointing in Delhi Capitals camp.



?It was my first IPL season and to have Ricky as head coach for Delhi Capitals and few more familiar faces in the camp made it a very enjoyable season of IPL,? Alex Carey to reporters during Video Conferencing.



The Australian batsman was dropped from the playing eleven in the last T20I against England in September, due to inconsistent form. In IPL he just played three games scoring 32 runs.



Alex Carey scored his maiden ODI century against England, clinching an ODI win over England. But in the preceding T20I series, he was dropped from the playing eleven making the way for Mathew Wade. In the two T20I against England, the wicketkeeper-batsman scored just 3 runs.



Carey did not have a memorable T20I season against South Africa too, scoring 7, 14, and 27 in three T20Is.&nbsp;



Now, India and Australia will play three T20Is after the ODIs starting on 27th November. Alex Carey hoping to make his comeback after working on his techniques and skills.

<h2>Alex Carey on his Comeback:</h2>



?I was lucky enough to work with him in the World Cup last year and formed a good relationship. He was an amazing player and is an amazing coach, and he picks up on little things really quickly,? Carey to the reporters.



?We have a lot to talk about, however, I didn?t play many games but that gave me more time to train myself and correct my technical part with Ricky. I had worked a lot on my skills in IPL which will help me grow and develop and have a successful summer.?



If it's a lower-order role or back up the top of the order, I'm doing everything I can to get back into that team and it's something I want to do.



"Since then I felt like I finished off that UK tour really strongly and took a lot out of the IPL working with (Ponting)."



"Coming up against England recently and India soon, we're playing the best in the world so it's a great indicator of where our T20 cricket is at."

Australia vs India: Kane Richardson has withdrawn his name from the limited over series against India. Cricket Australia informed the reporters on Wednesday, Richardson wants to spend time with his wife and newborn son. The Australian Cricket Board names Andrew Tye as his replacement for the upcoming ODI series.



<h2>National Selector on Kane Richardson:</h2>



?It was a difficult call for Kane Richardson to pull out which has the complete support of selectors and the entire playing squad,? said national selector Travis Hohns.



?Richardson wanted to spend time with his wife Nyki and new Born son. We will always back our players and their families; even more so given the challenging environment we are in,? Hohns added.



"We will miss what he brings to the team but completely understand and support his decision.



?Tye is really skilled to be a part of the squad. He impressed in England with his high work ethic and positive energy around the squad?, Hohns added.

Australian Test captain Tim Payne has said he hates India captain Virat Kohli and enjoys his batting.



Sydney,



The Indian cricket team led by Virat Kohli has left for Australia to play in a series consisting of 3 ODIs, 3 T20 overs, and 4 Test Matches. The first ODI between India and Australia will be played in Sydney on the 27th. The first Test between the two teams starts in Adelaide on the 17th of next month.



The Indian players, who are staying at the Star Hotel in Sydney, have been isolated for 14 days. The first phase of the corona test revealed that none of the Indian players were affected. Subsequently, they have started training in the specific area allotted to them. During the net training yesterday, Tamil Nadu fast bowler D. Natarajan bowled aggressively. The Cricket Board has posted a video of his training on Twitter.

Interview with Tim Payne



Meanwhile, Australian Test captain Tim Payne has given an interesting interview about the series and India captain Kohli. Tim Payne said: -



They ask a lot of questions about Virat Kohli. To me, he?s just another player. Otherwise, there is nothing to worry about him. Truth be told I have no friendship with him. I see him when he throws the ?toss?. After that, I play against him. That's it. One funny thing about Virat Kohli is that we like to hate him. At the same time, we as cricket fans want to see his batting. We (the Australian people) have two kinds of thoughts like this. Although they likes to watch his batting, they does not like to see more runs scored.



The India-Australia series will be full of aggression and excitement. Virat Kohli is a player who can be a tough challenge. So am I. Sometimes we are both engaged in a war of words. It doesn't happen just because he is the captain and I am the captain. This would have happened even if he had been a player.



There will be tension



There will be little tension when playing against the best player in the world like Virat Kohli. The struggle is intense in every way to bring him down. There will be similar tension when England's Joe Root and Ben Stokes stand on the field.



I look forward to it as it is the biggest series. The last time the Indian team defeated us here (Australia) in a Test series. But the Australian team at the time was different. At any given time, you can only test your full potential when playing against the best team. We are eager to make it a hero and a team. said Tim Payne.
