Since the Royal London One-Day Cup was formed in 2014 to act as the new limited overs cricket competition, a lot of excitement was certainly on the cards. It has proven to be the case as the 2016 edition of the Royal London One-Day Cup enters into its final stages.

Warwickshire and Somerset will be up against each other in semi-final one. The winner of the game will face the winner of the semi-final between Yorkshire and Surrey. Even Royal London One-Day Cup odds would not have been able to predict Surrey progress to the semifinals.

Key Facts and Favourites

The Royal London One-Day Cup replaced the ECB tournament which ran from 2010 to 2013. Consisting of 18 times, the tournament has followed the fusion of group stages and knockout phases like many other tournaments. The presence of just two groups makes it exciting. One of the biggest surprises of the 2016 Royal London One-Day Cup turned out to be reigning champions Gloucestershire.

After managing only two wins from the eight group matches, they finished second bottom in the group and have been knocked out. The rest of the tournament will bring an unseen winner from the last few years. Of the semi-finalists, Surrey are the last team to have won the title. They achieved success in 2011, but this is a vastly different team.

Furthermore, Surrey had shown a disappointing form in the group stages, but they are able to feature in the semifinals largely because of the brilliance of Kumar Sangakkara. The century by the Sri Lankan edged Surrey to a narrow one wicket win against Northamptonshire. There is not a lot of confidence in the betting tips surrounding Surrey, as the team had to rely on the D/L method in order to overcome Middlesex in the quarter-finals.

Who Should You Bet On?

Warwickshire and Yorkshire have been in reasonably good form throughout the group stages. The former managed to overcome Essex by a comfortable margin of 70 runs in the quarter-finals. Yorkshire were given a run for their money by Kent, but they managed to come out on the right side of a thrilling game. Yorkshire won the game by 11 run margin. Choosing one of these teams in the bet online options will be a major gamble.

Somerset, though, have been the best team by far in this tournament. After an impressive group stage that saw them lose only one game, they cruised to the semifinals after beating Worcestershire. The best odds seem to predict a Somerset title win.
