ENG vs IND 3rd ODI Predictions & Betting Tips

India and England will lock horns in the series-decider at the Old Trafford in Manchester on Sunday, July 7 from 3:30 PM IST. After beating England by 10-wickets in the first ODI, India lost the second match by 100 runs at Lord's. England pacer Reece Topley took as many as six wickets in the match and left India gasping for breath.

However, the good news for India is that England's batting unit still looks vulnerable. They were bundled out for 110 in the first match and in the second match they somehow posted 246 runs after being reduced to 148 for six at one stage. The likes of Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami will go on a mini break following the final match and they would look to come all guns blazing to hand India their first series win in England since 2014.

As we gear up for the 3rd ODI, I have brought to you the best three betting tips from the ENG vs IND 3rd ODI head-to-head encounter.

ENG vs IND Team Bet:

Mentioned below is the top team bet from the ENG vs IND head-to-head contest.

India to win

After beating England by 10 wickets in the first ODI, India lost the second match by 100 wickets in the second match. The winner of Sunday's match will win the series 2-1. In a rare sight India's ODI batting unit were bundled out for 146 runs while chasing 247 runs at Lord's. Reece Topley's career best figures of six for 24 pushed India on the back foot and they could never make a comeback from there. However, one should not take the defeat too seriously. Rohit Sharma has 1411 runs at an average hovering around 68 in England and dismissing him on a duck yet again is highly unlikely. Shikhar Dhawan did not play any cricket after May 22 but with two matches under his belt now, he would look to score big for India in the must-win game. The likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja already got good starts in the second ODI. Virat Kohli might not have scored an international hundred in almost three years now but his timing was majestic at the iconic Lord's. The star batter will go on a break after the match but before that he has a task to do and a fighting knock from him is always on the cards.

One should also note that, England batting crumbled for the second consecutive time in the series. They were reduced to 148 for six at one stage. In the presence of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and a very impressive Prasidh Krishna they will get no respite again. In fact, Yuzvendra Chahal was also on fire in the second game, becoming the first India bowler to take a four-wicket haul at Lord's in an ODI match. Apart from Topley, no other England bowler looked like troubling India batters and this is one more point which will go in favour of the visitors. David Willey, Brydon Carse, Craig Overton and Moeen Ali combined together to bowl 27 overs but could contribute only three wickets.

Overall, the two sides have played 105 ODIs against each other. India lead the head-to-head tally 56-44. At Kennington Oval, the venue for the first match between India and England, the Men in Blue had won only two of their eight ODI matches. We had predicted that India would improve this record and India did so by winning the match. Likewise, at the Old Trafford, India have won only one out of their four matches. Rohit Sharma's men will feel motivated to set the records straight again. India appear to emerge as favourites to win the third and final ODI. If you feel the same, head over to 1XBET and grab the odds of 2.01 for India to win from the ENG vs IND 3rd ODI head-to-head encounter.

ENG vs IND Player Bet:

Rohit Sharma and Jonny Bairstow are my top two player betting tips for the ENG vs IND 3rd ODI. Have a look at it for reaping the best returns.

Rohit Sharma to score over 35.5 runs

Rohit Sharma was dismissed for a 10-ball duck in the first match but that takes nothing away from the star batter who has a more than terrific record in England. He got starts in the first two T20Is and one could feel it in the air that a good score from India captain is on the way. The same happened and our prediction ahead of the first ODI came out right when the India captain scored 76 not out runs off just 58 balls on Tuesday. His innings was studded with seven fours and five sixes. The 35-year-old is approaching 10000 runs in ODI cricket. He has played a total of 232 matches and scored 9359 runs at an average of 48.74. He has 29 hundreds and 45 fifties to his name in the format. Rohit Sharma has played a total of 18 ODI matches against England and scored 620 runs at an average of 47.69.

In England and against England, Rohit Sharma's average rises further. The opener has 393 runs from nine matches at an average of 65.50. Overall, he has played 26 ODI matches in England, and scored 1411 runs at an average of 67.19. He has seven hundreds to his name in England. The last thirteen ODI innings have seen him score 0, 76*, 13, 5, 60, 37, 25, 18, 119, 42, 10, 63 and 159. It's quite evident that Rohit Sharma has all the chances in the world to score over 35.5 runs the third ODI on Thursday. If you feel the same, head over to 1XBET and grab the odds of 1.832 for Rohit Sharma to score over 35.5 runs from the ENG vs IND 3rd ODI head-to-head encounter.

Jonny Bairstow to score over 31.5 runs

Jonny Bairtsow has played a total of 91 ODIs and scored 3543 runs at an average of 47.24. Carrying a strike rate of 104.54 in the format, the 32-year-old has 11 hundreds and 14 fifties to his name. He missed on the Netherlands tour as he was part of the England Test squad, however he played red-ball cricket like white-all cricket. He has scored 206 off 140, 114* off 145, 162 off 157 and 136 off 92 in his last three Test matches. Jonny Bairstow returned to ODI cricket after a year and he was expected to score big against India considering that he scored back-to-back hundreds against the same opposition in the first week of July. The other factor in Bairstow's favour was his awareness about the strength and weaknesses of the India pacers. He has spent a lot of time playing with and against them in the IPL.

The Yorkshire star could manage only seven runs in the first match but on Thursday he came all guns blazing scoring 38 runs off as many ball. He looked brutal in his approach and hit as many as six cracking boundaries before getting clean bowled while trying to slog sweep Chahal. He looked devastated after failing to convert the good start into a big score and one can expect him to score handsomely in the series-decider. Jonny Bairtsow has played a total of 16 ODI matches against India and scored 627 runs at an average of 44.78. He has also hit two hundreds against India. Bairtsow's last eight ODI innings have seen him score 38, 7, 29, 43, 1, 124, 94 and 112. It's highly possible that the Yorkshire star will score more than 31.5 runs in the first ODI. If you feel the same, head over to Pari Match and grab the odds of 1.87 for Jonny Bairtsow to score over 31.5 runs from the ENG vs IND 3rd ODI head-to-head encounter.
