When to Bet on South Africa
The South Africa cricket team play across all formats and are regularly in action.
This means there are lots of opportunities to place bets on their fixtures, both across Test, ODI or T20I series or at major international tournaments.
Their star players also feature in the world’s major domestic T20 competitions, including the IPL.
Betting on the Proteas in Test Matches
The South Africa national cricket team have been number one in the International Cricket rankings in the past. They have since slipped down the rankings after the retirement of a few big stars.
The Proteas are still a good bet in Test cricket, though. India vs South Africa, for example, often turns out plenty of great markets to bet on.
Betting on South Africa in ODIs
South Africa have won several important ODI series over the years, but they are still without an ODI Cricket World Cup title.
You can bet on the Proteas in ODI cricket across many markets. This format is long enough for bettors to be able to assess conditions and the match situation before betting.
Bet on South Africa in T20 Cricket
Limited-overs cricket is arguably the strongest format for the Proteas these days. Many South African cricket players also play domestic T20 cricket around the world.
The South African national cricket team have never won a T20 World Cup, but are often favourites when going into bilateral T20 series.
Their star players and experienced performers make them a formidable opponent for anyone.
Betting on the Proteas in Cricket Tournaments
The South African national cricket team play in many different cricket tournaments, such as the T20 World Cup, Cricket World Cup, Freedom Trophy (India vs South Africa) and World Test Championship.
You can bet on the Proteas in cricket tournaments with several markets and events.
Bet on the Proteas at the Cricket World Cup
The next World Cup will happen in 2023. The South African national cricket team have reached four Cricket World Cup semi-finals, but not won one.
They have the players to be able to shine in white-ball cricket and will be building towards this event sooner rather than later.

Bet on South Africa at the T20 World Cup
If you want to bet on South Africa cricket in a major tournament a long time before the 2023 Cricket World Cup, then the next T20 World Cup is an ideal time to do so.
With their star names regularly featuring in domestic T20 tournaments, including the CPL, IPL and PSL, it means South Africa can be strong.
This format offers even more markets to bet on, including interesting outright odds before the tournament begins. These include top batsman, top bowler and the team to lift the trophy.

India are the favourites to lift the trophy in the UAE.
South Africa can be backed at 13.0 with Betway ahead of this year’s event and will fancy themselves to do better than their odds suggest come the start of the tournament.
