A feature of cricket is that one meeting can last for several days (of course, with a break). Therefore, in such matches the physical shape of the players plays a major role. If you decide to bet on the course of the game, always keep an eye on the performance of the players in different periods of matches in long matches. It can happen that the team starts out really well and the players score well, but in the dying stages of the game their passion fades, and the points are given with great difficulty. This may indicate the lack of physical fitness of key players.

One should also take into account the teams’ calendar. Sometimes teams have to play several away games. During these games, fatigue builds up, and they often approach the next game in poor condition. This has a negative effect on the final result. In these cases, many decent teams often have problems even with the underdog.

Weather conditions greatly affect the game. On a good and dry field it is much easier to perform technical moves than in rainy weather. The more skilled teams tend to do better on good fields.

In cricket, it is better to bet on matches that pitches more or less equally divided. The odds are higher for these matches. It is better to bet on the course of the match on totals or on handicaps. But in any case, it is necessary to understand the basic nuances of the game, get a closer look at the teams and only after that make a decision to bet.
