Why is the United States such a massive underdog to win the ICC T20 World Cup?

Before baseball became the United State’s national pastime, cricket was the game. But as soon as baseball came into existence, around 1830 and 1840, cricket fell into the oblivion of sports.

Athletes in the United States don’t play much cricket. Cricket is well behind the U.S.’s other sports, including soccer and even lacrosse, which explains why Team USA is such a massive, a Jupiter like underdog to beat England, India, and the other favorites to win the ICC T20 World Cup.

What are the United States’ true chances of taking the ICC T20 World Cup?

As crazy as it sounds, the odds on Team USA to win the ICC T20 World Cup aren’t overlayed. They are either fair or make the United States an underlay. That’s how much better India, Pakistan, England, the West Indies, Australia, and pretty much every other team at this year’s ICC T20 World Cup are than the United States.

There are some sports where the U.S. is light years behind and cricket is one of them. Most Americans don’t even understand cricket rules. Few Americans, perhaps 5% or less, have stepped onto a cricket field or played cricket in any form.

Some colleges have cricket teams, including the University of Penn, Auburn, North Carolina State, USC, and George Mason, but funding for college cricket is well below funding for other sports.

Also, most college age athletes play anything other than cricket like the aforementioned lacrosse.

Is Team USA worth a bet to win the ICC T20 WC?

Betting on Team USA means we want some action on the U.S. Nobody should put money on the United States to win the ICC T20 World Cup expecting to cash a winning ticket.

The other host nation, the West Indies, has a legit chance of winning the tournament. But the United States doesn’t. India, England, Pakistan, the West Indies, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand would have to implode and even then the U.S. isn’t guaranteed to make it to the semifinals.

But if you want to have action on the United States and you plan on watching the ICC T20 World Cup, there’s nothing wrong with backing the Americans. Just don’t expect to win your wager.
