    Metro Bank One-Day Cup Format & Teams

    The One-Day Cup was created in 2014 and sees 18 teams from England and Wales battling to lift the trophy. 

    The competition is played in the 50 over format, meaning each side has a maximum of 50 overs to bat and 50 overs to bowl. The format is longer than the Twenty20 game and shorter than Test cricket. 

    The tournament is a round-robin tournament at first with two groups of nine teams. The groups are split into the North and South groups up until 2021. Since then, the groups have been decided via a draw. 

    Currently, the top three teams from each group progress to the knockout stages. They battle to play in the final, which is currently held at Trent Bridge. 

    The following teams play in the competition:

    • Derbyshire
    • Durham
    • Essex
    • Glamorgan
    • Gloucestershire 
    • Hampshire
    • Kent
    • Lancashire

    • One-Day Cup Winner: With two groups and a total of 18 sides battling for the trophy, nailing the right choice to win the tournament is far from easy. Even if your choice tops one of the groups, they may be eliminated in the knockout rounds if the teams from the opposite group are simply better. However, if you can pick out the winner before the tournament has started then you will be looking at good odds. 
    • Highest Opening Partnership: This is a match-specific market that will provide bettors with the chance to wager on which opening partnership of the two sides will score the most runs. This can be a tough ask as the conditions on any given day at a ground will likely be different. This could simply mean that batting first could see the runs flow as the bowlers are given little help, while on another day batting first could see the ball moving all over the place as the wickets tumble. This market is as much about knowing the conditions overhead and underfoot along with the forecast. While you may fancy the chances of a specific opening pair, if they are inserted into bat with the conditions favouring the bowlers, they might struggle.
