T20 Blast Betting

Welcome to the Mzansibet Cricket T20 Blast betting page!

At Mzansibet, we aim to provide players with a safe, secure and enjoyable betting platform and make being a fan as entertaining as possible. Our team is passionate about setting the highest standards, and we strive to provide players with exceptional cricket betting markets across all major leagues and tournaments, including England’s premier T20 league, the T20 Blast.

England has a rich history of sporting codes, and while soccer may be the select sport for many, cricket is not far behind. Did you know England’s premier T20 league, the T20 Blast, is one of the oldest T20 leagues globally? Established in 2003, the T20 Blast is one of the best T20 leagues, attracting fans, global stars, and thousands of cricket bettors annually.

It does not matter whether the league is called the Twenty20 Cup, Friends Provident T20, NatWest T20 Blast, or the Vitality Blast; the T20 Blast is a must-watch for all cricket fans across the globe. The T20 Blast takes place in the summer months in England when most kids are on holiday.

The format is simple: there are 18 teams (made up of the English counties), split into two divisions, North and South, and the top four in each group qualify for the knockouts. The Quarterfinals see the top eight teams of the tournament do battle, with the four best teams progressing to Finals Day. Unlike any other T20 league, the T20 Blast has a unique feature, where the semifinals and final take place in one day, Finals Day.

Finals Day is arguably the highlight of many English cricket fans’ summer, as the entire day is packed with entertainment ranging from on-the-field action with big hits, wickets and boundaries and off-the-field activities like dance-offs, food stalls and, costume competitions and prizes to the best-dressed spectators. For cricket bettors, the fun and betting are non-stop, and at Mzansibet, we provide T20 Blast betting throughout the tournament on both prematch and inplay markets. Our players can bet on T20 Blast action with hundreds of competitive cricket betting markets and unique features such as free bets, bet boosts and much more.

Tips and Strategies for Betting on T20 Blast

Betting on the T20 Blast should be enjoyable, and winning becomes easier when you study the games and conditions and find bets that offer value. Here are some tips, strategies and suggestions to help you become the best T20 Blast bettor.

• Bankroll management is important if you want to be successful, so ensure you have a staking plan ahead of placing bets. A smart strategy would be using 10% of your bankroll of strong researched bets, 5% on value long shots, and 1-2% on accumulator cricket bets.

• Take an outright bet ahead of the tournament, allowing you to hedge for a profit later.

• T20 cricket is a fast paced game, and match winner markets fluctuate. Don’t take short odds; you can likely find better odds inplay, so wait for the right time for better odds, and watch how the pitch plays before placing any inplay bets.

• England is a country with plenty of rain and wet weather. Research the weather, tournament trends and pitch conditions ahead of placing bets, as these play a big role in T20 games.

• The toss is crucial in the rain-shortened games, and teams prefer to chase, so remember that detail and factor weather and toss outcomes in your suggested bets.

• Finals Day has three games, so factor that into your betting research, as the winner of the first semifinal who plays the earlier game has more rest time for the final than the winner of the second semifinal.

• The saying ‘form is temporary, class is permanent’ is true, and you should use your gut instinct when deciding whether to place a bet on off form players and teams.

• Historical stats play a role in matchups between batters and bowlers, so if you find a batter struggling against a specific bowler or vice versa, that is an avenue to target when betting.

• Team sheets are important, so make sure the players you have placed a bet on are included in the starting 11. At Mzansibet, your stakes will be refunded if you have placed cricket bets on players who do not play.

• If you place bets on Player Performance markets, you should back wicketkeepers and allrounders, as they are involved in all facets of a T20 game.

• If you are taking player specific bets such as Top Batsman and Top Bowler, you should note that if two or more players finish with the most wickets or runs, your odds are divided by two. So, you should not back low odds for these types of bets.
