T20 World Cup odds: Latest cricket T20 World Cup betting odds for 2026

We’ve taken a close look at the various T20 cricket odds that will be on offer across the tournament and delved into what markets are available for bettors to wager on.

Joint hosts for the competition are India and Sri Lanka, with the opening games between the Netherlands and Pakistan raising the curtain on Saturday 7 February.

After a busy two weeks of group matches, the tournament will move into the Super Eights phase on Saturday 21 February, with the semi-finals being played on Wednesday 4 March and Thursday 5 March. The final is to be staged in Ahmedabad on Sunday 8 March.

The tournament format remains the same as it was in 2024. A total of 20 nations will take part, comprising four groups of five teams, with the top two teams from each group progressing to the ‘Super Eights’.

It’s no surprise to see co-hosts India head the market as the favourites to win the tournament. Suryakumar Yadav’s team go into it as the current holders of the trophy and home advantage throughout a possible nine matches, with a partisan crowd to back them, should stand them in good stead in their defence.

The 2014 winners, Sri Lanka, have traditionally performed well, and they also act as co-hosts, which should be an extra spur to kick them on in the hope of a place in the Super Eights and possibly beyond.

South Africa have regularly flattered to deceive, but their recent T20 form and the fact that they reached the final last time suggest they can’t be discounted, and their T20 World Cup betting odds reflect that. Mercurial Pakistan could catch anyone out on their day, and New Zealand have a talented squad, but Australia and England will want to have their say, and both are former champions, hinted at by their own ICC T20 World Cup odds.

England come into this off the back of a 3-0 series win against Sri Lanka, which looks an ideal preparation. The other major nation to mention is the West Indies, who won the title when Sri Lanka were the sole hosts in 2012 and then beat England in the 2016 final in India. They have plenty of T20 specialists in their number and their T20 cricket World Cup odds suggest that they can’t be ruled out.

Bettors can have an each-way wager on this T20 World Cup odds market and you can expect most bookmakers to offer two places, with the each-way part of the bet being half the odds of the win part of the bet. Therefore, to receive a return from an each-way bet on the tournament outright winner, your team has to at least make the final.

We’ll display the best odds from online bookmakers for each and every game at the T20 World Cup. That includes what looks a really interesting opener between Netherlands and Pakistan. Netherlands would love to hit the ground running and claim an early big-name scalp but Pakistan have a wealth of talent and will be tough to topple on the sub-continent.

In Group C, the major match in terms of deciding who qualifies in which position for the Super Eights should be England v West Indies on February 11.

The match between New Zealand and South Africa could go a long way to deciding the outcome of Group D, the so-called ‘group of death’. That takes place on February 14th,

If it goes ahead India versus Pakistan, scheduled for February 15, will mean more than just cricket in Group A, Group B’s match between Australia and co-hosts Sri Lanka looks a mouthwatering clash.

Once those groups have concluded, the top two from each of them will form the Super Eights, which is two more groups of four teams, who will all play three more matches each.

The five teams in each group were decided by a combination of automatic qualification based on tournament performance and rankings, plus regional qualification tournaments.

The International Cricket Council then came up with a seeding system to distribute the top-rated teams more evenly and also help with scheduling matches from the point of view of the fans.

Tournament favourites India are also favourites to win Group A. Australia head the market to win Group B, with England favourites to win Group C and South Africa narrowly holding that honour for Group D.
