The Newlands Cricket Test between South Africa and England is one of the sports betting highlights on Friday and we take a closer look at that and other action in our Daily Betting Diary.
CRICKET
South Africa are favourites to win the 2nd Test at Newlands having taken a 1-0 lead at Centurion in the Boxing Day Test.
The Proteas are 21/20 with the draw 7/1 and England are priced at 13/10. There will be live in-running betting on the match and of course there are a host of Exotic Markets to get involved with.
From a South African perspective they will be hoping that Elgar can return to form and you can get 2/1 about him scoring a 50 in the match.
Wickets fell frequently at Centurion and the run spread for the first wicket of England’s in their first innings is set at 24.5 at 17/20 either side of the line. Looking at the Man of the Match Market we do have a small fancy for Ben Stokes who didn’t bowl much at Centurion, but certainly looked good with the bat and you can get him at 10/1.

We won’t go into too much detail for the Australia v New Zealand 3rd Test which gets going in the early hours of Friday morning South African time. Needless to say Australia are firm favourites at 7/20 with the draw 15/4 and New Zealand 9/1.
There will be in-running betting and there are plenty of Exotic Markets on offer.

GOLF
The Sentry Tournament of Champions gets going late Thursday night South African time so we won’t spend too much time on this one other than to point out that Jon Rahm is the 9/2 favourite and that there will be in-running betting and updated betting at the end of each round.

HORSE RACING
Local horse racing takes place at the Fairview Turftrack on Friday an 8 race card starting at 12:30 and finishing at 16:40.
Our fancy for the day comes in the feature race where we think Madame Speaker is going to be hard to beat at a current price of 5/2 a win.
