The Verdict
England have been playing their test cricket so aggressively and I imagine they will continue that approach into the 50 over format. Still, the teams look pretty
evenly matched to me and we should see a decent contest.
I will first look to the player performance market where points are awarded as follows; Run = 1pt. Catch = 10pts. Wicket = 20pts. Stumping = 25pts and Rishabh Pant gets my
vote to beat his quote.
Suryakumar Yadav is my choice in the player runs market where even money for 33 runs or more caught my eye.
Finally Jos Buttler is my pick to score a 50.
Bets: Player Performance Rishabh Pant pver 48.5 at 17/20
Player runs Suryakumar Yadav over 32.5 at even money
To score a 50 Jos Buttler yes at 7/4
