IND vs ENG 12th T20I match prediction 18 Oct 2021

IND vs ENG Warm-up Match 12 Predictions and Betting Tips

India and England are going to play their first warm-up game ahead of the ICC World T20 2021. This fixture is going to be played at the ICC Academy Ground in Dubai on October 18, Monday. It may be a warm-up battle but it still gives us an opportunity to make some cash out of the game. As a result, I have accumulated three of the top betting tips from the IND vs ENG warm-up T20 clash.

India have two warm-up games and both are pretty big ones. The first one will be against England and the next one will be against Australia on the 20th. These two warm-up fixtures will give them the much-needed match practice. Moreover, Virat Kohli and co. will also be able to figure out the team combination they would like to go in with. Remember, India’s first ICC World T20 2021 clash is against their arch-rival Pakistan, so the Indian Cricket Team will be looking to give in everything they have.

England, on the other hand, were the runners up of the previous edition and it was held five years ago in India. This time, the ICC World T20 wagon has been moved from India to the United Arab Emirates due to Covid protocols. They would like to erase the memories of the 2016 World T20 final and start afresh this time around. Things are not going to be easy as usual but a good result against India and New Zealand in the warm-up games might just hand them the much needed confidence. For now, take a closer look at the best betting tips from the IND vs ENG warm-up T20 game.

IND vs ENG Warm-up T20 game Team Bet:

Since these are the warm-up games, therefore the aggregators have shared only the winner bet for this particular IND vs ENG battle.

India to win

The bookmakers have chosen to withhold the other bets and hence I am choosing to start with an easy bet. India and England have had quite a few encounters in the shortest format of the game. Overall the two nations have played 19 times against each other and India have had the last laugh on 10 occasions. England played the role of the dominator during the early years of this clash but it was India, who took things seriously in the latter stages.

In the last 10 head-to-head encounters between these two sides, India have won 7 of them and that shows the brand of cricket India loves to play against England. In the last four matches, India have won three of them leaving England pretty much hapless. In case you would like to win an easy bet, then you must head over to the Bet 365 website, who are offering odds of 1.72 for an Indian victory in the IND vs ENG T20 warm-up game match prediction.

IND vs ENG Warm-up T20 game Player Bets:

Since the bookmakers have chosen not to share any player bets so far, I am assuming that they are surely going to share a couple of them by tomorrow. Take a look at two of my predictions from the IND vs ENG T20 warm-up game.

Jason Roy to do well with the bat

The English opener showed good form in the latter stages of the recently concluded Indian Premier League in the UAE leg. After David Warner was dropped from the lineup, Jason Roy stepped up to the plate for Sunrisers Hyderabad. In five matches he played for the Men in Orange, Roy had scores of 60, 44 and 34 in three of those games. Coming into the ICC World T20, Roy is expected to do well with the bat, even in these warm-up fixtures.

The Englishman has 1193 runs under his belt while playing for England in the T20Is and he has scored those runs at an average of almost 25.00. The destructive opening batsman has an average of 27.08 while playing against India. In 15 matches in the UAE, Roy has notched up 414 runs at an average of 29.57. Keep an eye out for the odds for Jason Roy as he can make you win quite a bit of cash on Monday.

Rohit Sharma to excel

Lastly, I have the Indian opening batsman Rohit Sharma, who is considered to be one of the most dangerous opening batsmen in the world, particularly in the shorter formats of the game. The opener has played a whopping 356 T20 games and has 9446 runs against his name at an average of 31.91. In 111 T20 international matches, Sharma has scored 2864 runs at an even better average of 32.54.

He has scored 317 runs in 10 innings against England in the T20Is at an average of almost 40.00. In the recently concluded IPL, Sharma racked up 381 runs in 13 matches at an average of 29.30. The last time India took on England in a T20I encounter, Sharma smashed 64 runs from just 34 balls. Watch out for the best of odds amongst our aggregators as Rohit Sharma will be a key player in the IND vs ENG T20 warm-up game match prediction.
