ENGLAND'S cricketers have the ideal chance to boost their semi-final hopes at the T20 World Cup in India this morning.
Eoin Morgan and Co take on minnows Afghanistan and are just 1-9 at the likes of Skybet and Boylesports to follow up their superb win over South Africa with another victory.
The Afghans are 7-1 at 10bet for a shock win while Alex Hales leads the top England batsman betting at 13-5 with bet365 followed by Joe Root (10-3, bet365) and Jason Roy (4-1, Betway).
At the Miami Open tennis, British hopefuls Aljaz Bedene and Kyle Edmund are among the players in action on a busy day of first-round matches.
There's also a dozen NBA games throughout the night and Jordan will add his top tips below. Good luck with your bets and let's hear all your picks and chat.
FOr the record if you fancy the cricket, especially top scorer, then please check team news because Alex Hales is a doubt. England should still be more than fine but Hales would be a big favourite in terms of top scoring batsmen. Also England might go with the extra spinner depending on the weather so it might affect betting in terms of how England approach it.
Probably not many on here who follow cricket but sadly I do just thought I would alert you to check it before sticking anything on.
@ooseven if england bat first i will be on over 162.5 runs 5/6 and over 14 fours 1/1. England know they will have to win well because net run rate going to be so important due to the structure of the tournament and having already lost to the west indies
And England just showed how hit and miss they are I suppose. Some comeback to beat SA then pretty woeful against Afghanistan. No consistency considering their talent. I didn’t watch the game but when I saw the scorecards I couldn’t believe how bad the top order were. If it takes Moeen Ali (with the bat I mean) to get you out of trouble against Afghanistan what chance do you have!
Oh and Shazad to top score for Afghanistan, possibly even in total (if they are to have any chance) could be worth a shout. Probably get a duck now but he’s actually ranked higher than any England batsmen (assuming Hales doesn’t make it) at T20 and hit South Africa everywhere the other day before getting out.

Good luck.
Raoul what is your best double for tonight? Please thanks
I know i’ve got a lot on tonight, and this is a bit of a rarity…
But I like them all so it’s difficult for me to pick out 2…
I will say that Rockets is definitely one of the more ‘must win’ games out of the bunch.
Portland Trail Blazers -6 @ 1.90 (Bet 365) – 1.2 Points.
Good luck.
My double pays 47/50 @ 365 so putting another 2.5 points there. Compared to Marathon where I first placed its now below 7/10.
Toronto Raptors -3.5 6/4 paddy power. Nothing else I really fancy
SA Spurs -9.5 @ 1.86 (Bet 365) – 1.2 Points.
And that’s my full card tonight.. 7 bets in total, prob the first and last time I place this many haha.

Sticking with Bulls/GSW. Portland game should be a close one.
Finally covering a bet works in my favour! Bouchard/Hradecka, stuck money on Bouchard at 10/11 (not watched the game yet) a set down thinking she would be a good shout. The starting watching the game and thought, wow she is her usual all over the place self but she won the 2nd. Covered Hradecka at 2/1 toward end of 2nd set that Bouchard won but thought she had a right good chance.
Bouchard wins 2nd set then it goes 3/1 on Hradecka. Are you kidding me, 3/1! All the covered profit goes on Hradecka and she romps the 3rd. I normally make the wrong choice with those but finally got one right.
Oh and I didn’t copy and paste Hradecka once in this post :)
