Vitality T20 Blast 2020 - Who Will Win the Cup?

Cricketing action is well and truly back! I literally cannot tell you guys how I am feeling right now; in fact, I am really ecstatic at the moment that I am getting to right about my beloved game yet again. The Caribbean Premier League has kickstarted already, the IPL 2020 will see the green lights on September 18, but for now we do have another exciting T20 tournament to look forward to as we can mint so much money from it.

Yes, I am talking about Vitality T20 Blast 2020 and English summer’s domestic showpiece finally got a nod and will begin from August 27 and it will carry on until October 3. The only thing that will be missing from this year’s action will be the influx of foreign players as most of the stars will be busy with the IPL and other international duties or the CPL. However, the English cricket fans and the others around the globe, should not be disheartened as this competition still promises to be an enthralling one as a total of 18 teams will be fighting for that T20 crown!

The Vitality T20 Blast 2020 is all set to kickstart from the day after tomorrow and we have the chance of making so much profit, you cannot even imagine! So, I have picked up four teams, who have the potential of winning the Vitality T20 Blast 2020 and based on my predictions, these four sides have a really good chance of making it to the big final and winning the competition. Without any further delay, let’s get started:

Nottinghamshire

Nottinghamshire or better known as Notts Outlaws in the Vitality T20 Blast, will still be kicking themselves after that one-run defeat in the semi-finals in the hands of Worcestershire. Believe it or not, it was their third appearance in the finals-day in four years in the Vitality T20 Blast and they were looking really dangerous. But that last ball-defeat will fuel their emotions and confidence during the upcoming season of the Vitality T20 Blast. They have a really balanced side and could well give the others a run for the money. However, due to the current cricket calendar and the Covid-19 restrictions, a number of international players will be missing out on the action from this Nottinghamshire side. Despite that fact, they still have their arsenal full to take on any of those remaining 17 teams in the Vitality T20 Blast. Bet 365 have offered futuristic odds of 8.00 for Nottinghamshire or the Notts Outlaws to win the Vitality T20 Blast 2020. Now if you place a bet of INR 1000 on this team, and if they win the tournament - you will have a profit of INR 7000.

Odds: 8.00

Lancashire

Without an iota of doubt, Lancashire or more entertainingly known as Lancashire Lightning, were the best side of the competition during the group stage. Lancashire collected the most points after the group stage of the previous season of the Vitality T20 Blast but they drew against Essex in the quarter-finals and they lost a rain-curtailed game. They will miss the likes of Glenn Maxwell as he will be a part of the IPL and Australian international duties. However, they still will have Alex Davies and Liam Livingstone, who can cause plenty of trouble with their respective piece of willows. Bet 365 are offering futuristic odds of 11.00 for Lancashire Lightning to win the Vitality T20 Blast 202. So if you place a INR 1000 bet on Lancashire and if they win, you will have a profit of a whopping INR 10000.

Odds: 11.00

Somerset

Somerset saw the rise of a young and destructive batsman at the top of the batting order - Tom Banton. He partnered brilliantly with yet another young and stylish batsman Babar Azam but they were denied a place in the quarter-finals after a record 227-run chase by Middlesex. However, they might not get the services of Tom Banton for the entire tournament as he is a part of the Kolkata Knight Riders setup in the Indian Premier League. But they are still likely to have Babar Azam and the kind of form he is in, it will be a major boost to their chances of lifting the trophy on October 3. They also have Jack Leach, Jerome Taylor and Ollie Sale in the bowling unit to take their team forward in the competition. Bet 365 are offering futuristic odds of 10.00 for Somerset to lift the trophy in the forthcoming season of the Vitality T20 Blast. I would want you to place an INR 1000 bet on Somerset and if they manage to win the tournament, you will bring home a profit of INR 9000.

Odds: 10.00

Sussex

Sussex or fondly known as Sussex Sharks in the county circuit in England, were the favourites of the bookmakers last year. But things definitely did not go as planned as they kept losing key players to international duties and injuries and eventually they were defeated by Worcestershire in the quarter-finals after having topped the South Group. It still remains to be seen if Rashid Khan makes himself available for few of their group stage matches but as of now it looks like a far-fetched idea. Luke Wright, Ravi Bopara, Phil Salt and Tymal Mills will be the key players for Sussex as they are the ones who could propel them right into the finals-day yet again. Since Travis Head does not have international commitments nor an IPL contract, the Aussie southpaw could add a lot more stability to that middle order. Bet 365 are offering futuristic odds of 10.00 for Sussex Sharks to lift the Vitality T20 Blast 2020. I would say an INR 1000 bet on this side would be a starter and the main course will be an INR 9000 profit, if Sussex Sharks go on to win the tournament.

Odds: 10.00

The Final Deal: So if you technically place an INR 1000 bet on each of these four above mentioned teams, your total investment would be - INR 4000. Now, we will look into a few scenarios in ways which you are going to make a profit anyway!

Scenario 1: If Nottinghamshire wins the Vitality T20 Blast 2020, you will be making a profit of INR 7000. But you will also lose the other INR 3000 you would have placed on the other three teams and yet you will still take home a profit of INR 4000.

Scenario 2: If Lancashire Lightning are crowned champions, you will be making a mammoth profit of INR 10000. However, you will be losing that INR 3000, you would have placed on the other three teams and yet take home INR 7000.

Scenario 3: If Somerset wins the tournament, you will be making a profit of INR 9000 and that way you will also have to lose the other INR 3000 you would have placed on the other three potential contenders. But at the end of the day, you will mint INR 6000 from this scenario!

Scenario 4: And finally, if Sussex Sharks take the trophy at the end of the competition, you will take home an amount of INR 9000 as a profit. After losing that INR 3000, which you would place as bets on the other three sides, you will still take home an amount of INR 6000!
