ENG vs PAK 3rd Test Cricket Predictions & Betting Tips
With the series tied at 1-1 it is all to play for in the third…
Punters have turned their thoughts to the upcoming World Cup played in the UK later this month with England getting their campaign opened with an exciting match against South Africa at the Kia Oval, London on 30 May. Here are our top Ireland v England 1st ODI Betting tips.
A summer of excitement for followers of the sport, those with a casual interest and punters looking to make a profit from their predictions, but there’s plenty to get through before then. Many of the teams involved play matches between now and the start of the tournament, designed to keep the players warm and competitive while giving the coaching staff a good look at how their squads are shaping up. It also hands backers an idea of who to keep an eye out for when things get serious.
One match of particular interest goes on Friday 3 May at The Village in Dublin where Ireland welcome England for a One Day International that should hold our attention. England may be on the road and up against an opponent desperate to grab the headlines by derailing their opponents’ preparations, but they are hot favourites with the bookies and that’s no surprise.
Armchair fans can follow the play live from 10.45am and punters can have their say on everything, from the winner of the coin toss to which side will secure the bragging rights. You can even wager your cash on top batsman for either side and who will take most wickets. Once the game gets underway, we’re delighted to say many of the most popular pre-match markets are continued in-play, with odds and lines changed to match the flow of the game. That means you can bet before the start and at any other point during the course of the fixture.
Ireland are taking this match seriously and signalled their intentions by recalling experienced Gary Wilson back into the ranks. The 33-year-old has been posted missing for a while now, not seen since before the Afghanistan series due to an ongoing problem with his vision but the fact he returns tells us he will be fit and ready to go. With something as serious as the injury he has nursed recently, no one would be in a rush to get Wilson playing before he was completely ready.
Ireland don’t boast too many wins over England in cricket, but they did pull off a memorable upset back in 2011 at the World Cup, something those packing the stands to watch this renewal will remember all too well. A real upturn for the formbook back then, the Irish celebrated a scoreboard reading Ireland 329-7 (49.1) against England’s 327-8 (50), handing them the bragging rights by a margin of three wickets.
