Here are our top Scotland v Sri Lanka 2nd ODI betting tips. Scotland and Sri Lanka go head-to-head in the second and final match of the One Day International series involving the nations. There was much fuss surrounding the 1^st ODI that was scheduled for Saturday afternoon, but the famous wet Scottish weather put paid to that with the match rained off without a ball being bowled. Followers of the home side are used to that by now, we’re sure.

We’re hoping for more luck in the 2^nd ODI that has been penned in for Tuesday morning with an 11:00am GMT start time. The Grange in Edinburgh provides the backdrop and although they didn’t stand much chance of winning the series going in, a single midweek victory would give the Scots a monumental series win over a respected side in Sri Lanka. Opportunities like that don’t come around too often and that won’t be wasted on the paying public.

1^st ODI a Wipe-Out

It comes as no surprise that if Scotland were to beat Sri Lanka on Tuesday afternoon, they’d do it against all expectations with bookmakers and experts setting up in support of the visitors. You can spark a slow midweek to life with a bet on this match and although there’s not an awful lot of value in predicting the winner, unless you’re intent on having your cash down on Scotland, there are many markets offered that will gift us an interest on the day.

Have your say on the match winner or play one of the many specials, including top Scotland batsman, top home team bowler, the visiting player to take most wickets and top Sri Lankan batsman. Keep your stakes low and shoot for a bigger price. That will help keep things interesting. Such is the coverage offered by bookies, you can even wager on the outcome of the coin toss, with the odds set at 10/11 heads – tails 10/11. Not one to get carried away on, for obvious reasons, but it does give players a snap interest and the right pick could see you boost your balance before a ball has been bowled in anger.

Prefer to get a feeling for how the day is going? Those keeping their cards close to their chest will be encouraged to see many of the pre-match betting markets will remain live throughout the course of the day thanks to in-play betting. Follow the action and have your say at any point, with prices and handicap lines altered to keep pace with the match. In play betting at an online bookmaker such as Bet365 means a financial interest is as exciting heading towards the final ball as it was before the off.
