Cricket: India in Bangladesh - Tri-nations tournament & Test Series

[Westy]

It begins tomorrow with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh kicking off the tri series. I'm not really sure what sort of betting opportunities will arise throughout this series but have started a thread just incase any catch the eye. The two test series that will follow may offer better opportunities. Sri Lanka have dropped some big players including Malinga, Mendis and Jayasuriya. India are without Tendulkar who has taken a rest. Bangladesh are without Mortaza although they do welcome back ICL rebel Aftab Ahmed. The matches will be live on Skysports via the red button.

Re: India's Tour Of Bangladesh Will take one for the opening match. 3 points - Shakib Ul Hasan 45 & over - 5/6 (bet365) Shakib is the class act in this otherwise poor Bangladesh team. He was recently ranked the top ODI all rounder so is obviously a good player. I fancy him to take a couple of wickets so 45 points looks more than achievable.
