West Indies vs Thailand predictions, tips & odds update, T20W World Cup betting

WE are predicting the West Indies to thrash cricket newcomers Thailand in the T20 Women’s World Cup match being played on Saturday in Perth.

The T20 Women’s World Cup will be the first ever major tournament for the Thais, who defeated Papua New Guinea in a qualifying tournament last year to clinch the 10th spot.

But cricket betting sites are expecting the going to be tough for Thailand, installing them at a remarkable 34.00 to defeat the West Indies, who are 1.01 favourites. Some betting sites are even refusing to take bets on this match.

The West Indies, who won this tournament in 2016, are sitting just outside the main contenders to win the T20 World Cup, having been priced at 15.00, but their enigmatic nature and ability to win (or lose) from any position make them dangerous.

Below we will highlight the full details of the game, plus our best bets and predictions for the West Indies v Thailand, T20 World Cup Women’s match being played on Saturday.

West Indies W v Thailand W tips

We have had a look at the betting markets ahead of the West Indies W v Thailand W contest and found some lucrative tips. You can read more T20 World Cup Women’s tips.

Thailand to have bigger opening wicket stand

There simply is not much value in the betting for the Thailand v West Indies contest, so we’re willing to take a chance on the Windies losing an early wicket and Thailand’s openers holding strong to give us a payday. The reason we like this market is that we think the odds are too strongly in favour of the West Indies, whose openers are paying 1.14 to score more than their Thai counterparts, who are paying 5.50.

Shemaine Campbelle for player of the match

Shemaine Campbelle, the Windies wicket-keeper batsman, is the only female cricketer to have made a ton batting at no.7 in ODIs. She is likely to bat at no.4 for the Windies at the T20 World Cup and if she gets an early look-in is great value at 26.00 for player of the match. Will be heavily involved in the field as well.

Thailand v West Indies winner prediction

While we’re very happy that another country is playing cricket to a high level, we think Thailand might be out of their depth against the West Indies, who we are predicting to win easily. Look to player markets for more value in the betting, because this really is a David v Goliath battle.
