India vs England – 4th T20I Betting Tips

India and England will face off in the fourth T20I of the five-match series in Ahmedabad on Thursday.

The home team will enter the contest low-on-confidence after suffering a thrashing defeat in the third fixture by eight wickets.

The team management will be hoping to see the players produce a much better performance in the next match where the hosts cannot afford any more slipups.

On the other hand, England will come in the contest high-on-confidence after a brilliant win in the third game which put them just a win away from securing the title.

The team management will be hoping to see the players continue performing the way they’ve done in majority of the series so far.

India Form and Team news:

The home team will be bitterly disappointed after a defeat on Tuesday where their batting performance was far from satisfactory.

After three consecutive failures in the series, opener KL Rahul’s place in the playing XI remains at risk and he is likely to be replaced by the likes of either Shikhar Dhawan or Suryakumar Yadav.

However, the batting form of captain Virat Kohli will be a pleasing one for the team management who will be hopeful that their star batsman will continue his good run and contribute in the team’s important win in the upcoming matches.

In the batting department, India will be heavily relying on the likes of skipper Kohli, vice-captain Rohit Sharma, wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer to score bulk of the runs and put the visitors under pressure.

On the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of spinners Yuzvendra Chahal, Washington Sundar along with pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Shardul Thakur to produce timely breakthroughs.

England Form and Team News:

England will enter the contest hoping to seal the trophy which will be a big boost for the visitors, especially after suffering a 3-1 defeat in the recently concluded four-Test series.

The return of Mark Wood played a huge role in the team’s success on Tuesday as he claimed three important wickets and contributed significantly in restricting the home team to a manageable total of 156.

After producing a near-perfect performance in the third match, the chances are that Eoin Morgan-led unit will go in with the same lineup for the game on Thursday.

In the batting department, the English team will be relying on the likes of in-form openers Jason Roy, Joss Buttler, captain Morgan and star all-rounder Ben Stokes to score bulk of the runs.

Jonny Bairstow’s return to form—as he managed to score an unbeaten 40 off 28 in the previous match—will be a positive sign for the visiting team as well.

In the bowling department, the onus will be on the pace trio of Wood, Jofra Archer and Chris Jordan to produce timely breakthroughs.

Our Tipster’s Angle

For the third consecutive time in the series, team chasing went on to win the match and the trend likely to continue in the fourth T20I as well.

With no fans present in the stadium, it was rather easy outing for the visitors who dominated the proceedings from the outset till the very end.

However, with series on the line, it is expected that the home team will be able to produce a much better performance in a do-or-die encounter.

Therefore, the prediction is for India to win the match and level the series at 2-2.

Tip 1: Virat Kohli to continue his rich vein of form in this game

There is no doubt that Virat Kohli is the in-form player for India in this T20I series. After perishing for a duck in the series opener, Kohli has managed to deliver a strong statement with the bat and notched up consecutive half-centuries in the last two matches.

With three half-centuries in his last six innings, Kohli will be looking to continue his purple patch in this game as well. So we are backing Virat Kohli to score 30 runs or [email protected]

Conclusion

Expect India to beat England and level the five-match T20I series.
