England and India will complete their white-ball series on Sunday, July 19, with the final ODI taking place at Lord’s in London at 20:00 AEST.

It will be the third match in the 50-over format, with the two teams having already played each other once in Southampton and once in a day-night game in Cardiff.

Quick Picks

Our pick: England to win

Value bet: Team to win coin toss to bowl first

Long shot: A player to score 100+

Betting Preview

India claimed victory in the first ODI, chasing down a target of 259 with relative ease, winning by six wickets with just under five overs left to bowl. A huge factor in that win had been their ability to take England down to 80/5 at one point in the innings. A 121-run partnership between Joe Root and Liam Dawson at least gave the hosts some hope.

But Axar Patel was the star of the first ODI, taking 4-62 from his 9.5 overs, cleaning up the hosts’ tail and helping India set a reachable target.

The pitch has been a deciding factor in both games so far, with the heatwave being experienced across the UK making the wicket very dry in places. This has benefited the spinners, as we saw in the figures.

London is expected to be a little cooler by the time Sunday’s game comes around, with some cloud coverage likely. If this is the case, this could help the swing bowlers. The batting team can often find it more difficult to handle, as the pitch can retain its moisture, while the outfield can be slower, making it harder to score boundaries.

Betting Markets to Watch

We think the conditions are more likely to suit England , which is why we think they’ll have value to win in the moneyline .

Fast bowlers like Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue thrive on pitches that offer any aerial or off-the-seam movement. Should overcast weather be present, it could enhance their ability to make early breakthroughs. We think one of these will have value to be the leading wicket-taker in the game.

That said, Jasprit Bumrah is lethal when given extra swing and seam assistance. If India bowls first under dense clouds, his opening spells become twice as dangerous.

The coin toss is an interesting option, as it can depend on the day’s weather. If the forecasts are right and don’t change, we think the team that wins the coin toss will elect to bowl first.

Our prediction is for an England win as the most likely outcome. If the cloud cover arrives, it will benefit the hosts more than the visitors.

We think there could be some value in a player reaching 100+ runs in this game. While heavy cloud cover will enhance swing bowling, several elite batsmen in this fixture possess the technical skill to overcome the initial aerial movement and bat deep into the innings.

Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma or Virat Kohli could all achieve a century for India, while England’s Joe Root is the most likely for the hosts.
