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…
It may only be Wednesday but we’re already into the second One Day International match of the week between West Indies and England and the fourth of a rapid five-leg series which concludes on Saturday 2 March. Here are our West Indies v England 4th ODI Betting Tips.
The National Cricket Stadium, St George’s again provides the setting as these rivals go head-to-head with all to play for. There has been little between the teams so far, with followers not short on talking points. With the scores tied at 1-1, it’s anyone’s guess who will go on and take the advantage in this vital fourth leg. The winner of Wednesday’s match will come out of the series with no less than a draw and that should inspire a big performance from all players.
Armchair fans can follow the action live on Sky Sports from 1.30pm and the competitive nature of the tie means bookmakers have done the work to ensure there’s plenty to bet on. You can have your say on the winner of the series outright, or back a number of attractive markets in the 4th ODI, including match winner, top English batsman or bowler, top Windies run scorer or wicket-taker, even which team will have the highest opening partnership.
In the series winner betting, you’ll find England as favourites across the board, no more than bet365’s 3/10 available. That may seem on the short side about a team locked at 1-1 heading towards the home straight, but it’s a better price than you’ll get with most, 2/7 the general feeling in the betting ring at the time of writing. This seems much closer to a 50/50, so we wouldn’t put anyone off a bet on West Indies winning the series at as big as 17/2 with some firms.
England made an impression on their hosts when overturning a huge deficit in the opening ODI to get off to a winning start. Windies exploded out of the traps to set their guests a stunning 360-4, a jaw-dropping total in ODI cricket. The hosts were confident that would be enough to secure victory as England would need to score a record best to overturn it. The underdogs did just that, recording a record chase in One Day International cricket to stun their opponents and most watching the match. In-play backers were able to land a cracking price on the away win, but those who had it backed fully deserved their prize.
Centuries from Jason Roy and Joe Root propelled their side to a win against the odds, Roy smashing his way to 123 runs off just 85 balls, supported by Root who helped himself to 102 off 97. That made all the difference, but they needed Morgann and Buttler to get them over the line, the duo doing their bit to complete the job. An incredible day of cricket and although West Indies somehow ended as losers, they took plenty of confidence from their performance.
