ENG vs SL 2nd T20I Predictions & Betting Tips

England and Sri Lanka are playing out a three-match T20I series. The second T20 international of the series is also being hosted at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff on June 24, Thursday. I have handpicked three of the best betting tips from the ENG vs SL 2nd T20I match prediction.

England came up clutch with a comprehensive performance yet again in white-ball cricket against Sri Lanka. They are considered to be the best outfit in the world (arguably that is) in limited overs cricket. A thumping 8-wicket victory over the Lankans in the first of the three T20 internationals at Cardiff was yet another example of the Three Lions’ prowess. Eoin Morgan and co. will be looking to seal things later tonight as they are ready to go at Sri Lanka again in the 2nd T20I.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, are struggling in almost every single format of the game. Gone are the glory days when players like Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene and many more made them a serious threat to other cricketing nations. The new batch of players just don’t seem to have it in them to go out there and express themselves and play the natural game. With less than 24 hours to prepare for the second game, can Sri Lanka shrug off the defeat and take England by surprise? We don’t know it yet. What we know is that you can make money from the best betting tips I have collated from the ENG vs SL 2nd T20I match prediction.

ENG vs SL Player Bets:

The team bets could have been picked but the cash in return would not have made you happy. Therefore, in such scenarios, player bets are the way forward which can give plenty in return. Jos Buttler and Jason Roy once again ladies and gentlemen will be my pick for the second match as well from the ENG vs SL 2nd T20I match prediction.

Jos Buttler to hit over 2.5 fours

Jos Buttler and his antics came into show yet again during the first T20I of the three-match series against Sri Lanka. Buttler sashed 8 boundaries during his match-winning knock in the first T20 international against the Lankans. In 288 T20 matches he has played so far in his illustrious white-ball career, the English wicket-keeper batsman has managed to clobber 602 boundaries.

While playing against Sri Lanka in the T20Is, the hard-hitting opener has clattered 26 fours, and that is definitely more than 2 fours per game. Under the leadership of Eoin Morgan, in 46 T20Is, Buttler has managed to smash 117 fours. In 6 matches in the ongoing calendar year, Buttler has 17 fours against his name. Bet 365 is offering odds of 1.72 for Jos Buttler to hit over 2.5 fours in the ENG vs SL 2nd T20I match prediction.

Jos Buttler to score over 27.5 runs

We are not done with the England vice-captain yet as he is going to make us a lot more money than we expected. Buttler announced himself in the first game of the series with an incredible unbeaten knock of 68* runs from 55 balls. His record vs Sri Lanka is quite sensational as in 7 matches, Buttler has racked up 2566 runs at an outstanding average of 64.00.

His overall T20I numbers suggest that he is ahead of the required market rate as in 80 matches, the Englishman has 1791 runs at an average of 31.42. While playing on his home turf, Buttler has managed to score runs at an average of 39.35. Under the captaincy of Irishman Eoin Morgan, Buttler has maintained an average of 39.23. Dafabet is offering odds of 1.87 for Jos Buttler to score over 27.5 runs in the ENG vs SL 2nd T20I match prediction.

Jason Roy to score over 21.5 runs

The other English opener is my last but from this second clash of the series between England and Sri Lanka. Jason Roy has been consistent with the bat in recent times as he has scored more than 21 runs in the last 4 out of 5 T20 matches. In the first match of the series, the swashbuckling opener has scored 36 runs from just 22 balls. Looks like Roy has brought his form from the Vitality Blast T20 into this international series.

In four matches against Sri Lanka, Roy has managed to pile up 147 runs at an average of 36.75. In 6 matches this calendar year, the right-handed batsman has scored 180 runs at a decent average of 30.00. In the second match of any T20I series, Roy has an average of 28.75. Dafabet is offering odds of 1.87 for Jason Roy to score over 21.5 runs in the ENG vs SL 2nd T20I match prediction.
