Mumbai: An anonymous gambler has struck an £82,000 pounds ($132,300) bet with a London bookmaker on India winning the Cricket World Cup, one of the biggest ever laid in the one-day game.

If the co-hosts and 3-1 favourites triumph in the 2 April final in Mumbai, the punter will collect £246,000 ($396,900), Ladbrokes said.

The tournament starts on Saturday when India, who lost in the first round four years ago in the Caribbean, play Bangladesh in Dhaka.
