ICC Trophy Cricket Betting Odds - Australia Favoured Over England

Australia are the favourites to beat England in their semi-final match-up of the ICC Champions Trophy tomorrow (October 2nd).

Totesport (Go to Totesport ») offers odds of 4/7 on the Aussies reaching the final of the tournament, despite an edgy win over Pakistan to reach the last four.

Captain Ricky Ponting looked to be guiding Australia to a target of 206, before his dismissal at 140-2 initiated a collapse, leaving the team struggling on 187-8.

Brett Lee and Nathan Hauritz managed to carry them across the finish line, but skipper Ponting admitted it was "closer than I thought was possible".

"I was chewing my fingers nails up there for the last little bit," he said, adding that the side will have to "get back to the drawing board" before they face an invigorated England team, who knocked tournament hosts South Africa out of the event on Sunday.

Those looking to bet on the recent Ashes victors can find them at 6/4 with bookmaker 888Sport (Go to 888sport »).
