India vs England – 3rd Test Betting Tips

England, India eager battle for WTC final berth

India and England will face off in the third Test of the four-match series in Ahmedabad from Wednesday.

The game is a historic one as it will be the second time when a day and night Test will be played on the Indian soil.

Therefore, it will be interesting how the conditions will be for both the teams, especially in the presence of a pink ball instead of the traditional red.

The series is levelled at 1-1 after the visitors won the first game comfortably by 227 runs whereas in the second fixture, the home team made a grand comeback and secure an emphatic 317-run victory.

For the visitors, the game presents a rare chance for them to secure a lead in the presence of somewhat favorable conditions which might be enough for them to cement a spot in the final of the International Cricket Council (ICC) World Test Championship against New Zealand which will be organized in the summer in England.

For the home team, it will be interesting to see if they can continue their dominance with the change in venue and the change of ball as well.

India Form and Team News:

With the game being played at a different venue and under different circumstances, it is expected that India will make a change and include a fast-bowler in place of left-arm spinner Axar Patel which is likely to be Umesh Yadav.

In the batting department, the Men in Blue will be relying on the likes of Captain Virat Kohli, in-form Rohit Sharma, Vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane and veteran Cheteshwar Pujara to score bulk of the runs.

On the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Siraj and Ravichandran Ashwin to produce timely breakthroughs.

England Form and Team News:

England, on the other hand, are likely to have a number of changes for the third Test after a disappointing outing in the second fixture.

The likes of veteran pacer James Anderson and wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler are likely to be included in the playing XI after being rested for the second Test whereas all-rounder Moeen Ali has also left the squad and is expected to be replaced by Jonny Bairstow.

In the batting department, the visitors will be heavily relying on the likes of Captain Joe Root, opener Dom Sibley and star all-rounder Ben Stokes to score bulk of the runs and put the team in a strong position against a formidable bowling lineup.

On the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of pacers James Anderson, Stuart Broad along with left-arm spinner Jack Leach to dismantle the home team’s batting lineup by producing timely breakthroughs.

Our Tipster’s Angle

First two Test matches of the series have been—to the surprise of many—rather one-sided where the visitors dominated the first one whereas the home team looked a far better unit in the second.

However, things can turn around once again in the third Test with the change of ball and the match being played in the evening.

Since England are likely to field their full-strength lineup for this fixture and the role of pacers is likely to increase, the prediction is for England to win this match and go 2-1 up in the series.

Tip 1: James Anderson aim to continue his excellent record in pink-ball Tests

With day-night Test being played at refurbished Sardar Patel Stadium in Ahmedabad, the visitors will see this game as an excellent opportunity to make a strong comeback against India.

England will be relying heavily on their spearhead James Anderson to lead the way with the ball in this pink-ball Test. There is no doubt that Anderson is most experienced and equipped bowler to exploit any kind of seam and swing movement in these conditions.

With 14 scalps in 3 pink-ball Tests, Anderson will certainly pose a big challenge to India’s star-studded batting lineup in this contest. So we are backing James Anderson to take five wickets or [email protected].

Conclusion

Expect England to register a hard-fought win over India and take 2-1 lead in the four-match series.

  1. James Anderson to take five wickets or [email protected]
