England and India will complete their T20I series with a fifth game in Southampton. The game will be played on Saturday, July 11, with the first ball to be bowled at 23:30 AEST.

The two nations will move on to an ODI series after this, with three games to be played over the coming week, as they continue to battle each other with exceptional cricket.

Quick Picks

Our pick: India to win

Value bet: Under in the total runs scored

Long shot: India to Win the Match and Both Teams to Score 160+ Runs Each

Betting Preview

England have enjoyed the best of this T20I series so far, excelling with the white ball and making the most of the conditions. The British summer has been in full effect, with one game being washed out after India’s opening innings, and then a heatwave has been experienced across those that have had a result.

There have been some impressive figures from the hosts on an individual level, with some putting up big scores with the bat and others performing well with the ball. Phil Salt, Sam Curran, and Jos Buttler have all scored runs, while Jofra Archer and Josh Tongue have posted impressive bowling figures.

India haven’t performed as well as many would have expected, finding it difficult to get to grips with the pitches that they’ve been on. Many eyes have been on Vaibhav Sooryavanshi after he emerged on the scene in T20 cricket in the IPL. Still only 15, he remains a player whose expectations need to be managed.

Nonetheless, players like Ishan Kishan, Abishek Sharma, and captain Shreyas Iyer will need to perform if they are to have a chance of winning this one.

Betting Markets to Watch

England will be the likely favourites to win the 5th T20I in Southampton, given how well they have performed so far throughout the series.

However, the conditions may actually suit India , especially if the pitch is slow, which it has been recently for club cricket. A slow pitch will favour the spinners and make life more challenging for batters, which is why we think the score total market could have value in the under.

Additionally, we think there’ll be value in the spinners to be among the leading wicket-takers in this match-up because of the pitch. While the quicks and seamers could have some success, the conditions will be akin to those experienced in the subcontinent, which could pose challenges for England’s players.

Our prediction is for an India win. If the pitch turns out to be slow, it’ll likely suit them more so than England’s batters and bowlers.

A long shot is the ‘ India to Win the Match and Both Teams to Score 160+ Runs Each ’ market. On a slow pitch, cricket run totals for a standard 20-over T20 match typically range between 140 and 160, compared to a typical average of 170 to 180.
