David Warner chases another century in the 2nd Aussie-India ODI, a fighty Roma travel to Parma for the Coppa Italia, and Ali Carter aims to claim John Higgins’ scalp – it’s the Spread Bets of the Day.

1. India v Australia 2nd ODI – David Warner Player Performance, 49-54
It was almost rude how hard Australia spanked their hosts during the 1st ODI on Tuesday. After pinning India back to 255, the visitors went on to swiftly thump their way to 258-0 – that’s a 10 wicket win with 74 balls to spare.

Though both David Warner and Aaron Finch both went unbeaten, the former was the star, twice using decision reviews to keep himself in en route to 128 runs. Not only did that see the 33-year old secure an 18th ODI century, he became the fastest batsman for Australia – and 4th of all time – to reach 5000 runs in the format.

Can he put in another shift on Friday? Spreadex are actually offering an India/Australia Supremacy spread of 0-10, despite the former’s humiliation only a few days ago, so Warner could be in for a tougher time of it. Nevertheless he sits at a Player Performance spread of 49-54, where it’s 1 point per run, 10 points per catch, 20 points per wicket and 25 points per stumping.

2. Parma v Roma – Bookings, 43-47
Roma have played 2 games in 2020. Roma have 11 yellow cards in 2020.

In fact, this season, across 25 games in Serie A and the Champions League they’ve picked up at least one yellow in every single fixture. It’s frankly a miracle they’ve only had 4 sending offs.

Will the stresses of a cup fixture exacerbate their tendency towards foul play? They travel to Parma – who’ve already beaten Venezia and Frosinone to get to the last-16 – on Thursday night, carrying with them a Bookings spread of 43-47.

Each yellow card is worth 10 points while a red is worth 25. One player can receive a maximum of 35 points.

3. Ali Carter v John Higgins – Higgins/Carter 10-3 Supremacy, 5.5-8.5
The Wizard of Wishaw was one of the few former Masters champions to make it through the 1st round. Current title holder Judd Trump, Ding Junhui, Neil Robertson, Mark Allen, Mark Williams and Mark Selby all fell at the first hurdle.

On Thursday night John Higgins takes on Ali Carter – the man who knocked out Selby with a 6-4 win. Carter is in only his 3rd ever Masters quarter-final, and will be looking for another scalp at Ally Pally.

The no. 4 seed is the clear favourite, at a Higgins/Carter 10-3 Supremacy spread where the victor gets 10 points plus a further 3 points for every frame won by. Yet Selby was at a similar price on Sunday, and look what happened there...
