ICC T20 World Cup 2022 Betting Odds & Prediction

ICC T20 World Cup Betting: An Overview

Hands down one of the top cricket tournaments in the world, the eight instalment of the ICC T20 World Cup will be played in the Land Down Under. The T20 World Cup in Australia was originally supposed to be held in 2020, but was postponed to 2022 due to the ongoing pandemic.

The World Cup is a homecoming of sorts for the Aussies as they are also the defending champions, having defeated New Zealand by eight wickets in the final match to lift the trophy.

This tournament will see 16 teams competing against each other over a total of 45 matches as they battle it out for the prized trophy.

The ICC T20 World Cup 2022 will be played in Australia from 16th October 2022 to 13th November 2022.

As the tournament is several months down the line, there is still some time until bookmakers release odds for individual matches.

However, outright odds for the World Cup winner are out, of which we have compiled the best from leading bookmakers worldwide and listed them in the table above. Although total of 16 teams will participate in the tournament, we have included the odds of only those 12 teams that have sealed their spot in the competition.

ICC T20 World Cup 2022 Teams

Come October 2022, 16 teams will enter the tournament with eyes on winning the World Cup. Out of the 16, twelve teams have already qualified based on their T20I rankings and previous performances.

The remaining four teams will proceed based on two Global Qualifier stages that are scheduled to be conducted before the World Cup begins.

Each Qualifier will see two teams seal their spot as World Cup participants.

Below, we have listed the twelve qualified teams and the key players you should look out for while betting:

India

The Men in Blue underwent a change of guard as Rohit Sharma took over from Virat Kohli as the new captain in the T20 format. The team ranks second in the ICC team rankings at present, and possesses the aggression and capabilities to score quick runs and pluck wickets.

India has a commendable batting line up, but one that is often dependent on Kohli and Sharma. While they are unstoppable once they get in the groove, it may prove to be a shortcoming if their wickets fall early. The pace department is strong with the likes of Bumrah and Yadav, which is a plus point as most pitches will favour pace attack.

England

The top-ranked T20 team is full of superstar players like Eoin Morgan, Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, and Jofra Archer. The team’s batting line is top-notch and so is their bowling attack. We can only wonder what these guys will unleash on green pitches.

Pakistan

T20 is largely dependent on hard-hitting the ball and scoring quick runs. The Pakistani side has two batsman who rank on the top of the ICC T20 batting rankings table: Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. The team also has a fearsome pace bowling combination that has been performing well of late.

New Zealand

The Kiwis have had a good season last year, having won the ICC Test Championship and reached the finals of the 2021 ICC T20 World Cup, finding them in best form they have ever been. Captain Kane Williamson has been successfully leading the team for several years and has done a great job as a batsman too.

South Africa

The Proteas are yet to experience a T20 World Cup victory, and have one of the youngest squads as of now. Although they lack experience, and are highly unlikely to make it to the finals, they are no push-overs either, and you can expect them to fight the good fight.

Australia

The team will enter the tournament with an air of confidence because of the home advantage as well as their title of being the defending champions. Australia’s performance in T20 hasn't been  consistent, but their World Cup performance last year showed what the team can really achieve. The team is a clear front-runner, but do they have it them to win another World Cup? Only time will tell!

Afghanistan

The Afghani side has emerged as a top contender in recent years, with immense potential to become a top team in the coming years. But do they have what it takes to win the tournament? For the time being, in our opinion, we think not..

However, do expect them to put on a good show, as the underdogs are always the thirstiest for a win. Besides, some team players are exceptional cricketers, such as the spinner Rashid Khan and Captain Mohammad Nabi.

Sri Lanka

The Sri Lankan side has undergone a major overhaul in recent years and no longer has the old horses, like Sangakkara and Jayawardene, who led the team to some major victories. Lack of experience, along with an inconsistent batting order, are the top concerns with the team.

Although Sri Lanka have reached four finals of the World Cup and even won one, we would advise against betting on the as finals winners.

Bangladesh

The Bangladesh team have won all the three T20 series they played in 2021 and have consistently been improving their game. Although these victories have been tarnished somewhat, with the team blamed for curating pitches that best suit their side, all that is just background noise.

What’s concerning is the team’s dearth of consistent power-hitters, which puts the onus of performance solely on Shakib Al Hasan. Bangladesh is set to compete against top international teams, and we expect them to put on a decent show.

Namibia

The African nation has gained cricketing prominence in the recent years, with their advancement to the top 12 displaying how much effort they have put in to improve their play. Realistically, the team still has to go a long way before they can seal a spot in the finals, but we expect them to put on a good show this World Cup.

Scotland

Scotland has experience playing in four T20 World Cups, qualifying automatically this time around. Although the team are still building themselves up, Scotland have long way to go before they'll be able to get anywhere near the trophy. However, they do have some amazing batsmen, like George Munsey and Kyle Coetzer.

West Indies

The only team to win the ICC T20 World Cup twice, West Indies have a stellar batting line-up but have been struggling with performance issues of late. Superstar Chris Gayle did not deliver in the last World Cup, and the team also does not have a strong opening batsman. However, these are minor issues, which if sorted during these upcoming months, can throw the West Indies in the spotlight as one of the top contenders for this World Cup.

ICC T20 World Cup Betting Tips & Prediction

As a bettor, you should actively look for tips and predictions from authentic sources to build your betting acumen and place bets that have a higher potential of success.

Below are some general tips that can strengthen your betting approach and help you identify opportunities like a pro!

Although you must have heard this countless times, we’ll go ahead and repeat it to underline its importance. Conduct in-depth research before placing your bets. Research the pitch condition, weather reports, fixtures, top bookmakers for the tournament, bonus offers, and free bets, to name just a few important factors. Dedicated research prevents you from making silly mistakes and gives you clarity about how you want to shape your betting strategy.

To help you out further, we've even compiled the top 8 websites with a reputation for making the best cricket prediction in the world. You can always turn to them for research-backed cricket betting tips and expert cricket analysis.

Follow team news, H2H records, stats, and players’ performance to stay on top of the game and turn a profit with ICC T20 World Cup betting. You will find all of that and more on the top-rated live cricket score apps like Cricbuzz and ESPNcricinfo.

Such information, along with portals like ESPN, provides team-wise and player-wise top scores, strike rate, wicket records, and other key data points that can be used to place bets in those markets more confidently and quickly.

With the World Cup still months away, you can monitor performances better by watching live T20 matches that the teams will be playing in the months to come.

If you’re betting on individual outright markets like the Top Batsman or Top Bowler, wager on players whose teams have a realistic chance of progressing to the business end of the competition.

For example, Rashid Khan is every bookie’s fancy in the Top Bowler market (and with good reason too). But before putting your money on him, think about whether Afghanistan has realistic chances of making it to the semi-finals. Because if they don’t, then bowlers from other teams will get that extra window to pick up more wickets than Khan.

Who Will Win the ICC T20 World Cup 2022?

Making a prediction about the winner eight months prior to the tournament will probably be misguiding for our readers, as that period can witness a sea of changes in terms of the squad, captain, and the coach. Any such changes might affect the team’s chances of winning – therefore, we shall publish our detailed take on the winner as the tournament draws closer.

However, what we can tell you are the three teams that have the best chances of lifting the cup− India, Australia, and England. The three teams have lifted the T20 World Cup trophy and know what it takes to snatch that win.

England are in brilliant form and have lost only two out of the last ten T20 bilateral series they has played, while ranking first in the ICC T20I team rankings.

India ranks a close second in the rankings, and have improved their performance under their new captain, Rohit Sharma. The team have lost only one out of the ten T20 bilateral series they have played, and have a good history of turning games in the death overs – a critical factor in T20 matches.

The Australian team have not delivered well enough in T20 bilateral series, but their performance in the 2021 ICC T20 World Cup should not keep anyone in doubt about their ability to perform when it matters the most. That spirit and most importantly, the home turf advantage, is what makes us consider them as a worthy contender.

If you have read until section so far, you probably want to know who will take the Cup home. Like we said earlier, our detailed prediction will be out closer to the tournament commencement date, but if you ask us for a rough prediction today, our bet is on India as the winner.
