Jonny Bairstow, Reeza Hendricks and Rilee Rossouw are my top three player betting tips for the ENG vs SA 3rd T20I. Have a look at it for reaping the best returns.

Jonny Bairstow to score over 22.5 runs

Ahead of the first T20I, we had predicted that Jonny Bairstow would score over 22.5 runs and he proved us right with a 21-ball 30 in the match. In the first T20I, the right-hander scored 90 runs off 53 balls. His innings consisted of three fours and eight sixes. Bairstow is playing T20I matches for the hosts for the first time since November 2021. Overall, the 32-year-old has played 65 T20I matches and scored 1310 runs at an average of 27.84 and strike rate of 137.89. He has as many as eight fifties to his name in the format. In the 14 T20I matches against South Africa, Bairstow has scored 458 runs at an average of 45.80. At the Rose Bowl, he has played 6 matches and scored 183 runs at an average of 45.75. The Yorkshire star has been going through a purple patch lately and has scored as many as four hundreds in his last three matches. He failed to get going in the ODI series against India but scored 38 crucial runs to help his team win the second ODI by 100 runs. In the following ODI series against South Africa, he scored 63 and 28 runs in the first and second ODI respectively. The right-hand batter did not get a chance to bat in the rain-marred third ODI. With confidence and form on Bairstow's side, we expect Bairstow to score over 23.5 runs on Sunday. If you feel the same, head over to Pari Match and grab the odds of 1.87 for Jonny Bairstow to score over 23.5 runs from the ENG vs SA 3rd T20I head-to-head encounter.

Reeza Hendricks to score over 24.5 runs

South Africa opener Reeza Hendricks has scored back-to-back two fifties in the ongoing T20I series against England He scored 53 runs off 32 balls in the last match. In the series opener in Bristol, he had scored 57 runs off 33 balls. The innings included nine fours and a six. Overall, Hendricks has played 45 T20Is and scored 1186 runs at an average of 27.58. He has nine fifties to his name in the format. His last five innings have seen him score 53, 57, 23, 4 and 2 runs. Apart from the last two matches, the 32-year-old has struggled against England. In eight matches against the Three Lions, the right-hander has scored 151 runs at an average of 18.87. However, the average increases to 24 from five matches in England. Hendricks has looked comfortable against the likes of Sam Curran and Moeen Ali, and on Sunday he looks set to continue with his red-hot form in the series. Scoring over 24.5 runs should not be difficult for Hendricks. If you feel the same, head over to 1XBET and grab the odds of 1.832 for Reeza Hendricks to score over 24.5 runs from the ENG vs SA 3rd T20I head-to-head encounter.

Rilee Rossouw to score over 26.5 runs

South Africa batter Rilee Rossouw has two scores of 90s in his last four T20 outings. He scored match-winning 96 not out runs off just 55 balls in the last T20I against England. Moreover, in the Vitality Blast 2022 his form set the tournament on fire. The 32-year-old finished the tournament as the second-highest run-scorer. The southpaw scored 623 runs in 16 matches at an average of 47.92 for Somerset. His strike rate was a staggering 192.28 - highest by any batter with more than 400 runs in the season. He smashed as many as 42 sixes - the most in the Vitality Blast 2022. The blazing form has helped him return to play for South Africa after six years and he is making the most out of the opportunity. The batsman had turned his back on South Africa after signing the Kolpak deal in January 2017. Overall, Rossouw has played 17 T20Is for South Africa and scored 427 runs at an average of 35.38. In four matches against England, he has scored 118 runs at an average of 59. With the T20 World Cup 2022 around, Rossouw would look to play many more match-winning knocks to seal a berth in the South African squad. Having already spent a lot of time in the UK for Vitality Blast 2022, he is well aware of the conditions and that's going to help him further. There are very high chances of the in-form scoring over 26.5 runs in the decider. If you feel the same, head over to 1XBET and grab the odds of 1.86 for Rilee Rossouw to score over 26.5 runs from the ENG vs SA 3rd T20I head-to-head encounter.
