After losing to Gloucestershire in 2015, Surrey are hoping to win the 2016 edition of the Royal London One-Day Cup final.

The end of the season as far as domestic cricket is upon the United Kingdom and this usually means a lot of festivities at Lords. The end of the season is marked by the Royal London One-Day Cup final and the 2016 meeting will feature Surrey and Warwickshire. Both teams have qualified for this stage of the competition after managing to beat the Yorkshire and Somerset respectively. Even though the United Kingdom is famous for several sports, the Royal London One-Day Cup final takes centre stage as one of the important events. One can expect a lot of fireworks on the field and an electric atmosphere off the pitch.

The 2016 Edition

Surrey have the chance to redeem themselves following last year’s disappointment. They narrowly lost – by a margin of six runs – the 2015 final to Gloucestershire. Surrey were favourites to get a victory until the sending-off of Kumar Sangakkara changed the game on its head. At one point in the game, Surrey were well within reach of the 221 target after having made 143/2 in reply. However, a spectacular collapse happened after Sangakkara departure to leave the team six short of victory.

In fact, such a close cricket score is a feature of the finals at Lords. It is quite possible that the game between Surrey and Warwickshire will also be quite close. The run-up to the final is an incredible story for Surrey given that they managed to qualify for the knockout stages by a margin of just one point over Hampshire. Warwickshire, though, have been the inform team throughout the tournament and will be slight favourites for a victory in the best odds available for the final.

History

The Royal London One Day Cup has its origin in 2014 after being started as the replacement for ECB 40. The latter ran from 2010 to 2013, but recent format changes – increasing the number of overs to 50 – were done in order to bring the competition on par with the one-day internationals. Meanwhile, the availability of both Jason Roy and Chris Woakes makes a significant difference as far as the final on September 17 is concerned. The return of the duo could significantly alter the odds available for bet online customers.
