Surrey, Birmingham Bears and Lancashire among T20 Blast 2024 favourites, with the cricket betting sites struggling to split the leading teams.
The 2024 T20 Blast has been captivating and we're now at the stage where we have a clear idea of the teams set to battle it out in the knockout phase. Surrey are the marginal favourites with the cricket bookmakers, with the southern team narrowly ahead of Birmingham Bears and Lancashire in the betting.
Surrey have performed well in the South Group at the time of writing, with Sussex and Somerset likely to give things a good go, with Essex Eagles also on course to secure a place in the quarter finals. Birmingham and Lancashire look as though they're the leading northern teams right now.

We're fast approaching the knockout stage of the T20 Blast 2024, with the teams battling it out to finish in the top four of the North Group and the South Group. Surrey have been super-hard to beat in the latter, with eight wins enjoyed and just two defeats suffered in their first twelve encounters.
Sussex Sharks and Somerset come next in the South Group pecking order and there's little to split them in the cricket betting market. Much might depend on which of these sides is able to finish second, considering that they will end up playing the third-placed side in the North Group.
Birmingham Bears have won nine of their twelve matches, with Mark Robinson's side looking as though they are going to seal the leading berth in the North Group. There could also be more to come from Lancashire Lightning who clocked up a respectable seven wins from their opening thirteen encounters.
Somerset are the reigning champions after beating Essex Eagles in the final last term, with the former toppling Surrey. Indeed, it was all the South Group teams who lined up in the semis last season, with Hampshire Hawks also navigating their way through to the last four, although perhaps things will be different this time around.
