India Betting Analysis

It’s been a surprisingly poor series so far for Suryakumar Yadav with the bat, the India star having recorded just 26 runs across four innings including two scores of 0. But as the saying goes, form is temporary, class is permanent and it would be no surprise if a sizeable individual innings was just around the corner for ‘Sky’. The Wankhede Stadium, where he plays his IPL cricket for Mumbai Indians may just prove the ideal environment for him to regain his form, so back ‘Sky’ to accumulate 30+ runs.

England Betting Analysis

Key batter Harry Brook finally made his mark for England over the course this series in the fourth T20i, recording a half-century. It’s taken time for Brook to adapt when it comes to these conditions but having seemingly now done so, Brook could easily go on a run of high scores himself. Explore utilising the ‘Batter Match Runs’ market to back over 19.5 match runs for Brook.

India vs England Expert Prediction

England certainly felt a sense of injustice after the last game and the controversy over India’s concussion substitute in particular. But despite this, India remain an excellent outfit and this series has been another reminder as to the impressive level of strength-in-depth retained by the hosts. England can’t match that and motivation on their side may well have been dampened here with the series now lost. With that in mind, backing India to claim victory looks a shrewd move.
