India vs England Betting Tips

Teams Status

After achieving the impossible feat in Australia, India will be looking to seal the series against England as well. India are leading the four match test series 2-1 and are just one win or at least a draw away from the place in the world test championship final. They showed what they are made up of when their backs were against the odds in Australia. This England series was nothing less than that as India bounced back after losing the first test. The Hitman Rohit Sharma is the team’s leading run-scorer with 296 runs at an average of 59.20 including the highest score of 161. On the other hand, Ravi Ashwin has been sensational with the ball as he has bagged 24 wickets in the first three matches at an average of 15.71 including two 5-fers. Also, Ashwin is India’s second highest run-scorer with 176 runs including a hundred in a bowler friendly wicket in Chennai.

England on the other hand, had a spectacular series against Sri Lanka, where they beat them 2-0 and also started the series against India with a massive 227 runs. But lost their way in the second and the third test to some spectacular performances with the ball by Ravi Ashwin and Axar Patel. Everyone from England playing XI chipped in with vital performances with both bat and ball against Sri Lanka. But apart from Joe Root’s stunning 218 in the first test against India, no one was able to put up at least a decent performance. Courtesy of the highest score of 218, Joe Root is the leading run-getter in the series with 333 runs at an average of 55.50. Behind him is Ben Stokes, who has just scored 146 runs in six innings.

Tipster’s Angel

By considering the current form and their form at home, India is more likely to win the match. But with the series in the line, England could put up a fight and will hope to draw the series.

Tip: India To Win @ 1.45

In the last five head to head matches, India have won two and England have won three matches. Two of the three matches that England won came in their own backyard back in 2018. So, by leaving these two matches out of the equation, India is leading the tie 2-1. India have won four of the last seven test matches that they have played including two losses and just one draw. In the previous series against Australia. India made a statement that they will never give up irrespective of where they were playing. England on the other hand, have won three and lost two matches in their last five test matches. So, by considering the form that the Indian spinners are in and the Motera wicket that offers a lot of assistance for the spinner, India is more likely to come out on top at 1.45 odds available at the 1xBet sportsbook.

Tip: Most Match Sixes – India @ 1.61

In the current series, India have hit 20 sixes at an average of 6.67 sixes per match. While England on the other hand, have hit just 13 sixes at an average of just over four sixes per match. India’s swashbuckling keeper-batsman Rishabh Pant is leading the sixes chart with eight sixes to his name in just five innings. And he is followed by the hitman Rohit Sharma with five maximums. Moeen Ali is leading the sixes list for England with five sixes but he got only one match to play and was dropped after the second test match. In the absence of Jos Butler, most of the six hitting responsibilities will be on Ben Stokes. With the likes of Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant, India is more likely to hit more sixes at 1.61 odds available at the Bet365 sportsbook.

Conclusion

With England already out of contention for the Test Championship Finals, they will be playing for pride and will look to level the series. India on the other hand will go with a different mindset from the previous match as India has one foot in the finals and will go into the finals if they avoid defeat here.
