Match Betting Preview
Cricket World Twenty20, Group B, The Brit Oval 17.30
Holland could take their place in the Super Eight’s today without bowling a ball! Who would have thought that you would read or hear that statement 3 days into the tournament? After Friday nights result that is exactly where the group stands, as anything other than a win for England is no use and even then it might not be enough.
In digging themselves out of this hole England have picked Dimi Mascarenhas, Graeme Swann and Kevin Pietersen, Adil Rashid retains his place as England go with two spinners.
Pakistan have no form at all in losing both their warm up games but with Pakistan teams in the past I wouldn’t be reading too much into those results.
Pakistan have won the toss and will bowl.
