England are on tour in South Africa for a winter of Test Matches and One Day Internationals but first of all the two sides meet in two England v South Africa 20/20 Internationals on the 13th and 15th November, both sides will be eager to win and England know a good start will give them a big boost ahead of the Test series. England have not had great success in International T20 so far but they do have some good talent and are more than capable of upsetting the South Africans despite the home side being the clear favourites with the bookmakers to win the two match series. Twenty20 Matches have exploded in popularity over the last few years with new competitions popping up all over the place, and the betting is also exciting with the short format providing good value and always the chance of a shock or two.

The England v South Africa T20 Cricket Odds for England v South Africa this weekend has both the overall series betting as well as the match betting which gives punters some great chances of success. South Africa are the strong favourites to win both T20 Matches with Captain Graeme Smith in charge of a team that has become the No.1 side in world cricket over the last couple of years. However, they were one of the favourites to win the T20 Cricket World Cup in the summer but flattered to deceive and were knocked out early which would be a worry for their backers. The South Africans are packed full of top class T20 players such as AB De Villiers and JP Duminy who are brilliant batsmen in the short format, new kid on the block Wayne Parnell has proved himself as an outstanding young talent in his short career to date and will be a threat to England. The side will also feature the old warhorses Jacques Kallis and Mark Boucher who have been scoring runs for fun over the last decade for South Africa and show no signs of slowing down any time soon. This blend of youth and experience means that the home side are odds-on in the Twenty20 Betting to beat England in the first T20 match at the Wanderers on Friday evening which would give them a 1-0 lead in the two match series.

England are not without a chance in this series as they do possess quality players throughout the team despite them still missing Freddie Flintoff and Kevin Pieterson through injury, KP will be joining up with the squad after the T20 matches next week. Paul Collingwood will Captain the side while Andrew Strauss steps aside and he will be looking for some of his players to step up and defy the odds to claim the series. One player who has come on leaps and bounds in the short format is Eoin Morgan who looks to be getting better with every performance and he will be hoping to continue that run in South Africa. England are odds against with all the bookmakers to win the first T20 International but they will be out to cause a shock on Friday night and start the tour with a bang. It will be interesting to see how Jonathan Trott gets on playing for England as he returns to his homeland, he is sure to get a fiery reception from the fans which will add another exciting angle to this already hotly anticipated series.
