Ind vs Eng Player Bets

India has dominated this tournament, and the players have played accordingly. From all the batsmen you can bet on in the game, I have found the best bets to go for. Here are the top Ind vs Eng Player betting tips from the game for you.

Hardik Pandya to score over 43.5 Player Performance Points

The first bet is for the 27 year old middle order batsman for India. Hardik Pandya debuted for India and has come out to play 41 innings since then. He has scored a total of 1167 runs with an average of 34.32 from them. Pandya was the star of the previous series, against Australia and scored 220 runs from 3 games! While Hardik Pandya wasn't able to perform against England at their home, he has always been on his top game in India. Pandya has played 7 matches against England and has 342 PPP against them (55, 21, 41, 10, 116, 19, 80). This is an average of 48.85 points per game, and he scored over the target at home in 2 out of 3 games.

Hardik Panya has gotten 55 wickets from 57 games, and has gotten at least a wicket in the last 4 games he bowled. If we look at Hardik Pandya's recent performances, he has just blown the field away. He has gotten 857 performance points from his last 15 games, at an average of 57.133. In fact, from the 15 games played since 2019 he got over 44 points in 12 of the games.

Bet365.com has offered odds of 1.83 for Hardik Pandya to get over 43.5 Player Performance Points.

Rohit Sharma to score more runs than Jonny Bairstow

Rohit Sharma is one of the top Batsmen for India in ODI cricket. He has played 217 innings in 14 years, and scored 9115 runs with an average of 49.27. Jonny Bairstow has been playing for 10 years and he has 3207 runs from 76 innings, This averages to 47.16, which is just slightly lower than Rohit Sharma's play. If we look at their previous head to head games, the difference is more stark. Rohit Sharma has played 13 matches against England and scored 454 runs from them. This averages 50.44 and he has 2 centuries and 2 half-centuries from the games. Jonny Bairstow has played 10 innings against India with 363 runs from them. He averages 40.33 from them and has only 1 century and 1 half-century.

When we look at Jonny Bairstow's performance in India, it is absolutely abysmal. Bairstow has come out to bat in 5 innings against India, in India. In the matches, he managed to score only 105 runs, at an average of 21.00. Rohit Sharma has not played against England at home since 2013, but he has a pretty great track record at home. Rohit Sharma has played 65 matches at home, with 3528 runs from them. This averages 63.00 and he has 11 centuries and 15 half tons from them. This is one of the easiest Ind vs Eng match predictions. You can make this bet at Bet365.com with odds of 1.80 for Rohit Sharma to score more than Jonny Bairstow.

India vs England Team Bets

The team betting markets are extremely volatile for this game. I have picked the one market that is sure to win, and has surprisingly excellent odds. Take a look at my Ind vs Eng team betting tip from the game.

England to hit the most match sixes

The final bet from the match is the one that allows you to win over double your money. England have not only dominated India in the ODIs they have also hit the bigger boundaries more often. In the last 5 head to head games between the teams, England hit more sixes in 3 games, while 1 game was a tie. England hit a total of 31 sixes (13, 1, 5, 4, 8) from the 5 matches at an average of 6.2. India managed only 13 sixes (1, 2, 0, 4, 6) from the games, at an average of 2.6. This shows that the English team have hit sixes at double the rate than the Indian squad.

India have also performed poorly in their last 5 ODIs when it comes to hitting sixes. They have hit a total of 33 sixes (5, 10, 9, 5, 4) from their last 5 games. This averages to 6.6 but they conceded 42 sixes (8, 10, 9, 8, 7) from the same games, at an average of 7.4. India won the most match sixes in none of the matches. England have hit 27 sixes from their last 5 matches, but conceded only 25 sixes. They average 5.4 in hitting the big boundaries from the games, and 5.0 in conceding them. They also managed to hit most sixes in 3 of the last 5 games. Also India have only Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul who average near the 1.0 six per match mark. England have Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Butler, Eoin Morgan, and Jason Roy, who all are near the 1.0 six per match average. Bet365.com has offered odds of 2.20 for England to hit the most match sixes.
