T20 World Cup Cricket Betting Tips: England v USA
Don’t panic, England still on course for the semi-finals
- England to win & Bairstow to score 30+ runs - 21/10 with bet365
- Saurabh Netravalkar to take 2+ wickets - 9/4 with bet365
- Over 0.5 stumpings in the match - 9/4 with Betway
- Reece Topley to be top England bowler - 4/1 with Paddy Power
- Salt to hit more than three fours & Buttler to hit more than one six - 9/2 with William Hill
It’s not technically correct to say an England win against the USA will see them through to the semi-finals, but it would be a major surprise if they won and didn’t qualify.
The fact West Indies and South Africa play each other in their final game is a huge bonus for England, who are currently sat on two points. Both of those two sides cannot reach four.
Look, there’s no doubt that England’s defeat against South Africa yesterday - they lost by seven runs chasing 164 - was frustrating as they had the game in their grasp once in each innings. But that can happen in T20 cricket.
It leaves England with work still to do. But, in truth, I reckon rain is the only way they could come unstuck. Perhaps I’m being over-optimistic - I just don’t see them losing against the US.
The Americans have been fantastic in this tournament, beating Pakistan along the way. But, for my money, this is a step too far.
Rather than back England to win outright, which is available at 1/12, I’m going to include their success in a Bet Builder double - available via bet365 - of 21/10 with Jonny Bairstow scoring 30 or more runs.
Bairstow has scored 31, 48 not out and 16 in the last three matches from number three in the order.

England v USA T20 World Cup Betting Tips
Net Profit on USA quick in this T20 World Cup Betting Tips preview
USA new ball seamer Saurabh Netravalkar has been excellent this tournament, constantly causing problems amongst his six-wicket return from five matches.
He went wicketless and was expensive in their heavy defeat against West Indies overnight, but it was a rare off day for a bowler who had taken two wickets in each of his three previous outings.
With that in mind, I would be taking bet365′s 9/4 on him to strike twice in this match.
Betway also have the same 9/4 price on offer for there to be over 0.5 stumpings in the match - in other words, just one.
With quality spin in the form of Adil Rashid in England’s line-up, I would be taking that bet on every day.
Going from spin to seam, and Reece Topley has been excellent for England in the last two matches without reward, returning hauls of 0-23 from four overs against South Africa and 0-26 from three against West Indies. He’s deserved more than a wicketless tournament so far.
I don’t expect that to continue, and I would be interested in taking on Paddy Power’s 4/1 on him to be England’s top bowler in the match. You might see that as a stretch from not taking any wickets yet, but stats don’t tell the full story for me.
William Hill have a #YourOdds double on success for England’s opening batters, Phil Salt and Jos Buttler.
They are offering 9/2 on Salt to hit more than three fours and Buttler to hit more than one six.
