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…
We have a busy Saturday of cricket in the UK and this year’s World Cup steps up a notch in the first weekend. One game is played most days during this stage, but Saturday gifts followers two ties that will be played in Cardiff and Bristol, taking us from 10.30am through to the early evening. Here are our top New Zealand v Sri Lanka betting tips.
There’s plenty for supporters to get through and you can follow the action live on Sky Sports. With armchair fans catered for, major bookmakers ensure punters aren’t left out in the cold and a host of exciting betting opportunities means you can have your say on a number of markets in each match.
When the coin toss is decided and the game is underway, you’ll be glad to know many of the pre-match markets remain live throughout the contest thanks to in-play betting. That means a punt is as interesting in the final few balls as it was before the start.
You can also look further ahead and place your antepost bets, securing a better price on your selections. Bet on the outright winner, to reach the final, teams involved in the final, top batsman, top bowler and more. The outright betting has England as favourites to triumph on home turf and end as champions of world cricket this summer.
Those keen to follow the traders in on that one will get a market best price of 2/1 at Bet365. India are 10/3 with William Hill and there’s 7/2 with Ladbrokes on Australia ending on the top step. Of the two nations involved in the match previewed here, New Zealand are expected to perform better and have been priced at 12/1 (Unibet) to win the World Cup, ahead of the 80/1 of their opponents.
The top batsman market will give you a long-term interest and it’s also a value for money bet as it will keep punters glued to all games, counting runs and marking them against the tally of their player. Virat Kohli is the bookies pick to top bat and can be supported at 7/1 with William Hill. That quote places him ahead of Jonny Bairstow at 10/1 with Ladbrokes and Joe Root who is a market best price of 14/1 with William Hill.
