Some of the best cricketers in the world have played a season or two of county cricket in England. From Rahul Dravid to Cheteshwar Pujara, there have been many international cricketers who found the Country Championship helpful to work on their game and also get used to the English conditions.

Another season of the 130-year old domestic cricket tournament has kicked off in England. One of the legendary batsmen, Alastair Cook is part of the Essex squad for the County Championship 2021.

You can bet on the former England opener to score a fifty against Warwickshire at odds of 2.68.

As you can also see in the screenshot, the bookmaker also offers odds for betting on the team with the highest total at the fall of 1st wicket.

Not just this, but 10Cric offers more than 100 betting options for the County Championship matches as seen in the below screenshot –

Essex is the current champion and features players like Alastair Cook, Daniel Lawrence, Ryan ten Doeschate, Peter Siddle, and Mohammad Amir.

Some of the finest first-class cricketers from Australia will be playing alongside the upcoming English Test cricketers this season. Cameron Bancroft and Billy Stanlake are among some of these foreign players who also lead in the betting markets for the top batsman and top bowler.

Bancroft is among the leading favourites to be the top batsman for Durham while Billy Stanlake leads to be the top bowler for Derbyshire. One of the highlight performances from an overseas player was Mohammad Abbas’ 6-wicket haul that included a hat-trick for Hampshire against Middlesex.

Another domestic cricket tournament on our list, the Inter-Provincial Limited Over Cup attracts a good variety of betting markets on the top betting sites. The cream of Ireland cricket will be participating in this tournament. Some of the well-known names such as Andrew Balbirnie, Kevin O’Brien, Gareth Delany, and Simi Singh can be seen competing in the Inter-Provincial Limited Over Cup.

As you can see there are some big names in the top team batsman market on the sportsbook shown in the above screenshot. In addition to betting on who will be the top batsman and top bowler for each team, you can also make cricket predictions for the team with the top batter or bowler.

The above screenshot displays a range of different pre-match betting markets for the Leinster Lightning vs Munster Reds match. At odds of 1.43, Leinster Lightning are the favourites to be the team with the top batter in the match. With players like Kevin O’Brien, Andrew Balbirnie, and Lorcan Tucker in the batting lineup, Leinster would be the clear favourites in this market.

While the top team batsman market at 22Bet offers 3.50 odds for Andrew Balbirnie, in the Enhanced Specials market, you can bet on the same result at odds of 4.40.

After Bangladesh toured Sri Lanka for a two-match Test series that ended in a 1-0 win for Sri Lanka, it is time for Sri Lanka’s tour of Bangladesh. The subcontinent pitches in both these countries have historically been helpful for the spinners. And as a result, bowlers like Wanindu Hasaranga, Akila Dananjaya, and Shakib Al Hasan are the ones to watch out for in the upcoming 3-match ODI series.

Bangladesh pacers Rubel Hossain and Hasan Mahmud have been ruled out of the Sri Lanka ODI series due to injury. While this will come as a big blow to the hosts, Shakib’s return to number 3 is an exciting development to look forward to.

In his comeback series against West Indies following his ban, Shakib was demoted to number 5. Nazmul Hossain who was promoted to number 3 in place of Shakib Al Hasan, failed to capitalize on the opportunity.

Soon after, Bangladesh played New Zealand in an ODI series that Shakib missed and it was Soumya Sarkar who filled in the number 3 spot. The left-hand batting all-rounder was impressive at this batting position during the 2019 ICC World Cup. He will be the key to success for Bangladesh in this ODI series against Sri Lanka.

Bangladesh are favourites on betting sites with odds of 1.78 in the Match Winner market.

Sri Lanka have won 6 of the 7 ODI matches played in Bangladesh since 2014. Can Kusal Perera lead the visitors to victory in the series opener against Bangladesh? The statistics are with him. Will his teammates deliver too?

The amount of cricket played around the world is on the rise every year.

While Virtual Sports have been around for quite some time now, the interest in Simulated Reality IPL among bettors has witnessed a boom in recent times.
