INDIA VS ENGLAND 5TH ODI PREVIEW AND BETTING TIPS
Since India clinched the seven-match ODI series in four straight games, England are expecting to face some of India's "B" team in the remaining three fixtures. Considering the fact that the Indians will be looking to cool their jets before the upcoming test series, it could certainly lead to a more experimental Indian side and, therefore, a much-needed victory for England. 5TH AND COUNTINGSeemingly, England have taken a step forward with each loss against India during this series and having the 4th ODI effectively turned into a twenty20 match by the weather conditions, England were a hairsbreath from securing a Duckworth-Lewis victory. The batting of Owais Shah was a considerable high-point for England who saw a number of players out before they even hit double digits. At the end of the day as well England's attack simply allowed too many runs again as the Indians were knocking boundary after boundary. PREDICTIONSI am now confident that England will actually win a game. I think the Indians will simmer down a bit and take their foot off the gas knowing that they demolished England in all of the previous games in the series. I think Owais Shah will have a big game and I am also backing Pietersen to get into the 20's at least. Since moving Matty Prior further back into the order, England's openers have done well but Belly is just too inconsistent for me to put any money on at this point. Ravi Bopara is quality, but it has become clear that England's openers have been letting the team down up until this point and I have to put money into the middle order in order to ensure I get the proper amount of value. Recommendations:Back Owais Shah as top English runscorer @ 888sport- 4/1Back Kevin Pietersen to bat 20-40 @ 888sport- 3/1Back Kevin Pietersen to bat 41+ @ 888sport- 11/10
