Look Beyond the Winner<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of focusing solely on who will win, think about betting on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Top run scorer<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bowler who has the most wickets<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Over\/under total runs scored<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>They are usually more stable, particularly in contests that are balanced, such as this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Find_opportunities_in-game\"><\/span><strong>2. Find opportunities in-game<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>T20 cricket is fast-changing and it is important to be aware of the toss and start of overs. The early momentum can set the stage for markets, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>First 6 overs runs<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Team to score most boundaries<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These could be of great value if you take action in accordance with the real flow of matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Check_Weather_and_pitch_together\"><\/span><strong>3.
