Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

BETTING

THERE IS no value in backing the West Indies to beat Scotland or Australia to beat Bangladesh, but for the record, the best price available on either is 1-20 with Stanley. Those who fancy the outsiders should take Ladbrokes' 10-1 on Scotland and Bangladesh to win their games. Ladbrokes are offering a tempting bet on which of today's underdogs will fair best. Each side will be awarded 1 point for a run, 25 for a wicket. Ladbrokes offer 5-6 against both Bangladesh and Scotland. For some value bets, back Mark Waugh to top score for the Aussies (9-4, Coral and Stanley), and Gavin Hamilton to top score for Scotland (10-3, Stanley).
