Article: Kitply Cup Final India v Pakistan
As expected, the final on Saturday sees a rematch between the old enemies. India drubbed Pakistan by 140 runs in last game and whilst I think this one will be closer, I still expect another Indian victory.
However, from a betting point of view, the downside of that emphatic win for India meant that we no longer get the generous 1.73 that was available on India for that match.
They are generally 1.55 best price for the final and whilst I think they will win, there is not much value in this price.
Pakistan on their day has the players to beat anyone and with the pitch likely to be slow and turgid after the first twenty overs, if they bat first they could pose India big problems chasing.
Having said that, I would not encourage anyone to oppose this formidable Indian batting line up, even at these short odds.
To put it simply, I am not comfortable taking just 1.55 on India , but even less comfortable about opposing them.
Therefore my suggestion for this match is to sit back and enjoy it, but have no bet.
Sometimes it's nice to watch a game without the pressure of gambling on it, this game falls into that category, especially when there is plenty of other Cricket to keep us occupied.
