Captain - Virat Kohli

Wicketkeeper - Rishabh Pant

So far, Team India is witnessing sweet success in T20Is under the leadership of Virat Kohli. He is all set to lead the Indian side for the first time in a T20 World Cup. In the last edition, India, under captain MS Dhoni, performed quite well during group stage matches but lost to West Indies in the knock-out stage.

India has a strong T20I squad which is certainly capable of winning the 2nd T20 trophy.

SRH Pacer Umran Malik to join Team India as a net bowler in the T20 World Cup

We saw Umran Malik bowling at 150 kmph consistently in the three matches that he played for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Seeing his skillful bowling, Indian team has decided to include Malik in the team camp as a net bowler. SRH has confirmed that the pacer will stay back in UAE and join the Indian team.

Malik has just started his cricket career in the IPL after he was included in the team due to T Natarajans exclusion. India will start their T20 World Cup 2021 against Pakistan on 24th October, 2021 in Dubai.

With all the top-players in fit shape and available for the upcoming World Cup, India is grabbing the favorite spot at betting sites with 1xbet offering 3.24 and 10Cric is offering 3.45, but Betway is offering the best price at 3.60 for India win.

If we go by the current stats, New Zealand is probably the best cricket team in the world today. New Zealand is sitting at the top in the ODI and Test rankings, and ranks 3rd in the T20I rankings. Unfortunately, New Zealand has never made it to the finals of any T20 World Cup but we really think that this New Zealand squad can make a difference this year. Over the last few years, New Zealand has become quite a versatile cricket team with good performances in all formats.

Lately, We have been witnessing New Zealand’s hunger for the big trophies including the ODI World Cup final thriller against England. New Zealand is ready to put their heart and soul to win this year’s T20 trophy and honestly, if they do it, we won’t be surprised seeing their recent team compatibility and performances of players.

With their recent team performances, we can say that New Zealand is quite a strong contender to win the T20 World Cup this year. Betway is currently backing New Zealand at 7.00 while 1xbet and 10Cric are backing it at 7.90 and 8.25, respectively.

England is currently the No.1 team in the T20I rankings and the reason for that is their T20 squad which is a perfect blend of players that are skilled in this format. If we take a look at England’s record in previous T20 World Cups, England has been a part of two finals and won the trophy in 2010 T20 World Cup. After winning the World Cup in 2019, England has surely set their eyes on another limited overs trophy.

We have high hopes from England as it is currently the No.1 T20I team. England players are quite skilled when it comes to adapting to foreign pitches, therefore, we can say that England are surely to reach the top 4 in the tournament.

England is currently 4.00 with betway, 4.00 with 1xbet and 4.15 with 10Cric. The reason for these odds is the current top spot for England team in T20I rankings.

Captain - Aaron Finch

Wicketkeeper - Matthew Wade

Although Australia's T20I squad has some really amazing players, as a team, they are seen struggling a bit with their recent performances. Australia was a part of the T20 World Cup final in 2010 but lost to England. The T20 Men’s World Cup 2021 was earlier scheduled to take place in Australia but it was rescheduled to India and then to UAE and Oman. We can bet that every cricket team loves to play against Aussies because of their aggressive gameplay.

Australia is the most successful team in the 50-over World Cups and they will be looking forward to attain the 20-over trophy as well under their feather. With this perfect team combination, Australia is capable of clinching the trophy. Australia will look forward to strike back aggressively like how they used to be earlier.

Australia is currently 6.70 with 1xbet and 6.20 at 10Cric to win the T20 trophy. Betway is offering the best price at 7.00 for Australia to win. Although we saw some low performances from the Australian team lately, the return of the big names like Glenn Maxwell, Steve Smith and David Warner back to the squad means that this team definitely has the winning potential now.

Captain - Temba Bavuma

Wicketkeeper - Quinton de Kock

South Africa is considered as one of the best T20I teams. South African cricket team a.k.a Proteas, have been a part of the semi-finals of the T20 World Cups 2009 and 2014. They were the host team in the 1st edition of the T20 World Cup in 2007. South Africa has been struggling with bad luck with the World Cups as they have succumbed in the semi-final matches several times in the 50-over World Cups and twice in the T20 World Cups.

The South African fans are expecting AB De Villiers to come out of retirement and be a part of the team squad for the T20 World Cup but there are no hints regarding that till now. South Africa’s never ending hunger to win an World Cup trophy is reflected in every tournament and we are sure to see it this year as well.

We can say that this year’s T20 World Cup will witness a transformed South African team under the leadership of newly appointed white-ball captain Temba Bavuma. Although everyone was expecting Quinton de Kock to lead the side, we feel that Bavuma’s leadership will also be something to look forward to. We saw players like Kagiso Rabada, Anrich Nortje, David Miller and Lungi Ngidi making a big difference in the games they played and with such a line-up in the team, we can say that all the rival teams are in for a surprise this year.

South Africa currently has a high price of 13.00 with Betway, 11.00 with 1xbet and 12.90 with 10Cric. 

Captain - Babar Azam

Wicketkeeper - Mohammad Rizwan

Pakistan is always considered as a strong opponent in the 20-20 format and they have been performing quite brilliantly in all their recent T20 series as well. After losing to India in a high voltage final match in the 1st edition of the T20 World Cup, Pakistan came back stronger in the 2009 edition and defeated Sri Lanka in the final to clinch their first T20 World Cup trophy. After that win, there was no looking back for Pakistan in this format.

Over the last few years, Pakistan has produced some really talented players who became important individual assets for the team in white-ball cricket. Pakistan has scored high on the T20 World Cup report card till now and has been part of two finals, So, the ever unpredictable Pakistan is definitely one team to watch out for in this year’s T20 World Cup.

In 2020, Pakistan Cricket Board took some big decisions regarding the captaincy duties and handed over the white-ball responsibilities to the star batsman Babar Azam. The 26-year old batsman has been doing a good job so far and we have seen some amazing Pakistan wins under his leadership. The all-new Pakistan T20 squad is composed of many young players who are doing wonders in the game and producing positive results for their team. As far as our opinion is concerned, Pakistan has a good record at UAE pitch conditions and at the T20 World Cup, it will be one of the teams to be feared.

Pakistan is at the No.4 spot in the T20I rankings and is a tough team to fight when they are at their best. Pakistan is currently at 9.80 with 1xbet, 8.00 with Betway and 10Cric is offering the best price at 10.10

Captain - Kieron Pollard

Wicketkeeper - Nicholas Pooran

Let’s talk about the most successful team in the history of the T20 World Cup, West Indies. Till now, they have played two finals and won both of them. West Indies are also the reigning champions after they won their 2nd T20 trophy in the last edition of T20 World Cup in 2016. There is no denying the fact that the West Indies squad has some of the best 20-over players, like Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, Sheldon Cottrell.

If there is one team which can turn the match around in a flick of seconds, it's the West Indies. The sheer hitting power of Caribbean players is famous in the whole cricketing world. With their amazing performances in the last few series, we can definitely say that West Indies is coming for another T20 trophy this year.

West Indies all-rounder Fabian Allen has to step out of the T20 World Cup due to an ankle injury. Akeal Hosein will replace him in the squad.

The first player that comes to our mind when we talk about T20 cricket is Chris Gayle. Currently West Indies has a perfect blend of some of the finest batsmen who can easily put 200+ runs on the scoreboard. In the bowling department, we can see Jason Holder, Sheldon Cottrell taking the control. We feel West Indies is a perfect T20 team and we will surely see them in the top 4 teams in the T20 World Cup 2021.

The West Indies squad is surely capable of winning their 3rd T20 trophy this year. You can bet on the West Indies win at 6.50 with Betway, 6.95 with 1xbet and 7.05 at 10Cric.

One of the best things that franchise leagues specially IPL has done is putting Afghanistan team on the map of international cricket. Afghanistan has won over our hearts with their match winning performances in all their T20 series in the past year. Afghanistan is also one of the top-8 teams to enter directly into the super-12 stage of the T20 World Cup 2021. It is currently in Group 2 along with New Zealand, India and Pakistan. We are expecting a great performance by the Afghanistan cricket team in this year’s T20 World Cup.

Players like Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi and Mujeeb Ur Rahman are making a mark among the international cricketers as they are part of top-10 rankings. Rashid Khan and Mujeeb Ur Rahman are currently at 3rd and 5th spot, respectively, in bowlers rankings whereas Mohammad Nabi is at the 2nd spot in T20I all-rounders rankings. 

Afghanistan spinners are experts to catch the batsmen by their neck with their fearful googlies and wicket taking balls. We can say that Afghanistan should not be underestimated and under the leadership of their new T20I skipper Rashid Khan, the team is expected to turn everyone’s eyes on them.

Afghanistan has some match winning players but it is going to be tough competition for the team at this year's T20 World Cup. It is priced with Betway at 81.00, 1xbet at 51.00 and 1xbet at 48.00

Captain - Mahmadullah

Wicketkeeper - Nurul Hasan

There was a time when Bangladesh was considered a weak team in international cricket. But Bangladesh has successfully buried that image with their stunning T20I performances in the last few years. Many of the Bangladeshi players have emerged as the match winning players for this format in various leagues and even in international matches. Although the full-time Bangladeshi skipper Tamim Iqbal is currently dealing with a knee injury, he is expected to return to the squad in October and hopefully lead the Bangladesh team in the tournament.

Lately, Bangladesh made a huge mark in T20 cricket by defeating Australia 4-1 in a 5-match T20I series in their home ground. Bangladesh got praises from around the world for this remarkable performance just before the T20 World Cup. Bangladesh is currently in the qualifiers Group - Group B, along with Scotland, Papua New Guinea and Oman.

Mahmadullah is presently taking care of the captaincy duties in the absence of Tamim Iqbal. Under the leadership of skipper Mahmadullah, Bangladesh did the unexpected by defeating Australia for the first time in a T20I series. We feel that Bangladesh can easily beat the other teams to advance to the Super-12 stage. A team which can overpower a strong Australian squad shouldn’t be taken lightly at all.

Bangladesh is currently at 41.00 with Betway, 50.00 with 1xbet and 53.00 with 10Cric.

Although Sri Lanka has been facing a tough time at international cricket lately, as far as the T20 World Cup is concerned, Sri Lanka is one of the most successful teams. Sri Lanka is the only team to be a part of finals for three times in T20 World Cup 2009, 2012 and they finally won the cup in 2014 by defeating India. Sri Lanka has recently broken their losing streak in T20I matches by defeating India in a 3-match series. Let’s hope that things go up from here for the Sri Lankan team as the tournament will commence in just two months.

Sri Lankan team has very talented T20 players which are capable of putting up a tough fight against any opponent. Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga is gaining highlights for his match-winning performances. He is currently ranked at No.2 spot for the T20I Bowlers rankings. Sri Lankan team is currently placed in the qualifiers group along with Ireland, Namibia, Netherlands and we are hoping that Sri Lanka comes out at the top spot among these group teams and enter the super-12 stage.

Sri Lankan winning odds are currently stacked at 29.00 with Betway, 33.00 with 1xbet and 43.00 at 10Cric.

Netherlands finished the 2019 T20 World Cup Qualifier tournament at 1st place by defeating Papua New Guinea in the final match. This will be the 4th appearance of Netherlands in T20 World Cups. Hopefully, Netherlands will continue their match-winning performances from the qualifier tournament to the T20 World Cup in October.

Netherlands has a decent T20 team with which they can reach the super-12 stage of the tournament. They have a line-up of experienced players who have performed pretty well previously.

Currently Netherlands odds are set at 1001.00 with Betway, 1000.00 with 1xbet and 1000.00 with 10Cric.

Papua New Guinea has qualified for their first ever international tournament. The team finished as runners-up at the 2019 T20 World Cup Qualifier, faced Netherlands in the finals. It will be exciting to see how the new entrant performs in the tournament of such stature.

Papua New Guinea performed brilliantly in the Qualifier World Cup in 2019. They played the final match against the Netherlands but Netherlands won the match by 7 wickets. Papua New Guinea finished 2nd on the table and found a place for themselves in their first ever international tournament. We hope to see Papua New Guinea in the super-12 stage along with the big guns of T20 cricket.

The new Papua New Guinea T20 team stands at 1001.00 with Betway, 1000.00 with 1xbet and 1000.00 with 10Cric.

Ireland will be playing their 6th consecutive T20 World Cup. Ireland qualified to the super-8 stage in the 2nd edition of the tournament in 2009. In the last few series, we saw some noteworthy performances by the Ireland players. Although they couldn’t win any T20I series, they put up a good play out in the field and looked very professional. Ireland has the capability to defeat any other international team.

Ireland has a talented and experienced team for the T20 format and has the capability to reach the super-12 stage. Teams like Ireland will make the group stage matches more interesting.

Ireland has the winning odds of 501.00 with Betway, 501.00 with 1xbet and 500.00 with 10Cric.

Namibia played some fantastic matches in the 2019 T20 World Cup qualifier but lost in the semi-final to Papua New Guinea and then lost the 3rd play-off match to Ireland. There are quite a few Namibia batsmen who are pretty talented for the 20-20 format game.

This is the first time Namibia has qualified for a T20 World Cup and is currently placed alongside Sri Lanka, Ireland and Netherlands. We can expect a decent gameplay from Namibia seeing their all-rounders and hope they would be a part of the super-12 stage. Namibia is capable of defeating Ireland and Netherlands to gain the 2nd position at the group stage but it will be a little difficult for them to be at 1st position ahead of Sri Lanka.

The current winning odds for the Namibian team are 1001.00 with Betway, 993.00 with 1xbet and 1200.00 with 10Cric.

Scotland is set to play in their 4th T20 World Cup after qualifying at 5th place in the World Cup Qualifier. It's good to see the Scotland cricket team coming back to the tournament after appearing in 2007, 2009 and then in the last edition in 2016. Scotland had a decent performance in the last few T20I series and we wish to see the best of them in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

Scotland has been part of 3 of the previous T20 World Cups in 2007, 2009 and 2016. Therefore, the experience will play a big part when Scotland will fight for a place in the super-12 group stage.

Scotland is an experienced team in the T20 World Cup tournaments. The winning odds for their 4th World Cup appearance are 1001.00 with Betway, 1000.00 with 1xbet and a whopping 1700.00 with 10Cric.

After struggling for 5 years, Oman cricket team finally qualified for the T20 World Cup for the first time in 2016. Things couldn’t have been better for Oman as they qualified again for this year’s T20 World Cup which would witness few initial matches at their home ground as well. Oman and UAE are decided by BCCI, to be the venues for the upcoming T20 World Cup. We are really looking forward to Oman’s gameplay as home ground is always considered as an advantage to the team.

The cricket experts always talk about the home pitch advantage and at this T20 World Cup, Oman can use some of that advantage being the hosts for the first time. If everything goes well for Oman then they can surely be a part of the super-12 group stage. Oman players are experienced to play in that region where the T20 World Cup is set to take place, So, we will be looking forward to this team’s performance. This will be the 2nd T20 World Cup experience for the Oman cricket team.

Oman winning odds are currently set at 1001.00 with Betway, 999.00 with 1xbet and 1000.00 with 10Cric.
