IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Match Predictions and Betting Tips

India will be locking horns with England yet again to play the 2nd ODI match of this series. The match will be held at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Tuesday, March 23. I have assorted the best IND vs ENG betting tips for you ahead of the match.

India displayed one of their best ODI efforts in the recent past. They went 1-0 up in the 3-match series. The Men In Blue defeated the Englishmen by 66 runs in the first ODI of the three-match series, at the MCA stadium in Pune on Tuesday. In response to a target of 318 runs, the visitors were bowled out for 251 in 42.1 overs. Although England had a bright start to their chase, the departures of openers Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow saw them lose plenty of momentum. From the Indian side, debutant Prasidh Krishna registered the best bowling figures.

Earlier the hosts posted 317 for five in 50 overs, while Shikhar Dhawan missed out on a century by two runs. Captain Virat Kohli also put on a good batting show, slamming 56 runs. KL Rahul at 62 and Krunal Pandya at 58 remained unbeaten, helping their side set a strong target. While India will be aiming to build on their form in the second ODI, England will also target on striking back hard. With that I have analyzed the players and teams past performances and picked the best IND vs ENG betting tips for you to bet upon.

IND vs ENG Player Bets

Team India have had a good start to the opening series of the ODI. Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow, KL Rahul are few players topping the charts amongst batsmen this ODI. However I have picked the best player bets for you.

Shikhar Dhawan To Score Over 34.5 Runs

My first bet is for an indian player who is known as a naturally attacking left-handed opener. He is the top run-scorer amongst batsmen in the one ODI innings played so far. Dhawan missed his 18th ODI century in the first game by just 2 runs. He slammed a knock of 98 runs playing against England in the opening match of the series. He is also amongst the top three Indian batsmen with the highest number of runs. From the 3 ODI Innings played, Dhawan has scored 120 runs at an average of 40.00. Dhawan has played 13 ODI innings against England and averages 37.91 from it with 455 runs to his name.

Dhawan has continued to be India's go-to man in ODIs, making him a specialist for the biggest-stage in the limited-overs format. When Dhawan came out to bat in his home grounds he had scored 1784 runs from 93 innings played, averaging at 44.60. Dhawan did not play too many ODI innings in the year 2020 but still managed an average of 58.00. Playing under captain, Virat Kohli the left-handed batsman has played 68 innings and racked up 3091 runs from it at an average of 47.55. This includes 7 hundreds and 18 half centuries. Dhawan, with his explosive form, is an asset for India. Oddsmaker, Sportsbet.io has offered betting odds of 1.85 for him to score over 34.5 runs in the IND vs ENG 2nd ODI, match prediction.

Virat Kohli To Score Over 47.5 Runs

This is probably one of the safest bets to put your money on from the IND vs Eng match prediction. The current Indian skipper, Virat Kohli has racked up a mountain of runs and strung together a garland of centuries in all three formats. The 32-year-old Goaliath of world cricket has already become one of the leading run-getters in the 50-over format. He is ranked as the top ODI batsman with 868 points amongst ICC Men's ODI batting ranking. Kohli has played a total of 243 ODIs and scored 12096 runs at an impressive average of 59.29 including 43 hundreds and 61 half centuries.

Captaining the Indian cricket team, Kohli has played 89 matches. He has 5376 runs under his hat at an average of almost 73.64. This includes 21 hundreds and 26 half centuries. The right-handed-batsman has played 31 ODI matches against England and has scored 1234 runs at an average of 45.70 including 3 hundreds and 8 half centuries. His last two scores against Australia were 71 & 66 played earlier in an away match. The captain smashed 56 runs from 60 balls played including 6 boundaries in the first ODI match played against England. Kohli has a good average while playing at home. He has featured in 93 home matches and averages 60.75 from it with 4921 runs to his name. Sportsbet is offering IND vs ENG betting odds of 1.85 for Virat Kohli to score over 47.5 runs and he should do it quite easily.

IND vs ENG Team Bets

I have picked the one market that is easy to win and has oddsmakers who have offered excellent odds for it. Take a look at my IND vs ENG team betting tips from the game.

India To Hit Most Match 4's

My last bet runs in favour of the host. India has always dominated their opponents when it came to hitting smaller boundaries. In the first ODI innings played India hit a total of 33 fours (4,11,61,4,7) against England who hit a total of 19 fours (7,6,1,1,2,1,1). The highest boundary to be hit by a batsman was, Shikhar Dhawan who hit 11 massive fours.

India has a total of 76 fours in their last 3 ODI's. This averages to 25.33 fours per game. Although England were not far behind with 75 fours from their last 3 ODI's played. Irrespective of the same, India has always been consistent in hitting more smaller boundaries. They have a total of 81 fours from the 3 ODI innings played at home. This averages to 27 fours per game. In the last five innings played against England, India has scored 77 fours while England had a total of 65 fours. This averages to 15.4 fours for team India and 13 fours for England. In the next IND vs Eng head to head encounter, Bet365.com has offered betting odds of 1.72 for team India to hit most match fours.
