India v Australia 5th ODI Betting Tips & Predictions
It’s time for the India v Australia 5th ODI betting tips. We have arrived at the fifth and final One Day International match of the series when India and Australia put the finishing touches to what has been an enjoyable contest on Wednesday morning. The Feroz Shah Kotla in Delhi provides the setting and armchair fans can follow the play live, the coin toss expected around 8.00am GMT.
If this series has taught us anything so far it’s that there’s very little between the sides and both nations will be confident in their ability to sign-off with a win before turning their attentions to the upcoming World Cup in England. India start against New Zealand at the Oval on 25 May and Australia take on the hosts in Southampton on the same day.
Plenty to Play For
It may be the final leg of the ODI series but there’s still plenty to play for and enough life left in the battle to ensure supporters get a match worth watching. The scores are locked at 2-2 heading into the midweek decider, India winning the first two before Australia fired back to win the next couple to move level. Who will hold their nerve and claim the series victory?
That’s a question worth finding out the answer to as the pre-match betting odds remain competitive and picking your side wisely could result in a pay-out from the bookmakers. Have your say on which team will win the match and the series outright, or play one of the many specials on offer, designed to hold your interest throughout play. There’s top India batsman, top Australia run scorer, top India bowler, top Australia wicket taker, and a load more besides.
Let’s take a closer look at how both teams have performed so far in what has been a series of two halves, before looking at how odds makers expect Wednesday’s match to play out.
Fast Start From the Hosts
The hosts exploded out of the traps to take a 2-0 series lead and followers expected them to kick-on from there and claim victory at a canter. They made the ideal start when stamping out Australian hopes in the opener with a six wickets success that was fully deserved, the scoreboard reading 240-4 (48.2) against the 236-7 (50.0) of their opponents.
India were able to build on that when doubling up in the second match played on Tuesday 5 March, this time doing the business by eight runs, India 250 all out (48.2) v 242 all out (49.3). The second was a far more competitive clash and it looked for long periods like Oz would fire themselves back level, but they fell apart down the home-straight and knew they only had themselves to blame for the result. Disappointing for the tourists who are capable of better, but the signs were there for those keeping a close eye on the progress.
