ENG vs IND Match Prediction - Jul 09, 2022

India started the T20 series against England with an absolute bang. It had the right approach while batting, its start all-rounders looks to be in the form of his life, and now the senior players from the Test team will also join the T20 side. In a lot of ways, this influx of players is going to bring a lot of questions and selection headaches for India.

England, on the other hand, would be scratching their heads a bit. They went into the first T20 as favorites but were completely outplayed. Does one bad performance make them a bad team? We don't think so.

The best cricket betting sites have all recalibrated their odds after the first T20 and now have India as the favorite to win this match.

Match prediction and cricket betting tips for England vs India 2nd T20 2022. The match is going to be played at Edgbaston, Birmingham on the 9th of July 2022.

ENG vs IND Team Previews

England

England would like to write off the first T20 international as an occasion where nothing that they did worked. Their best two players, Buttler and Livingstone, did not get a single run and the bowling attack also did not get as much half as much help from the conditions as the Indian bowlers.

This does not make England a weak team, though. It just had a bad day. In terms of batting depth, England certainly has an advantage. It has Sam Curran at 7, who is far better than India's number 7 (Axar Patel), and Chris Jordan at 8 is also quite handy with the bat.

The big question here is going to be about how Jos Buttler will fare in this match. His importance to England's batting lineup is unquestionable and his battle against Bhvneshwar Kumar is going to be crucial. Buttler has got out to Bhuvneshwar Kumar four times out of eight matches that he has played against him and three of those dismissals have come when Buttler was in single figures.

This indicates that Buttler is susceptible to Kumar early in the inning especially when the ball is swinging. If Buttler gets out early, England is going to be in trouble because Malan has been struggling as a T20 batter for some time. Jason Roy struggled massively in the previous match against the swinging ball but his approach is not going to change. He will come out swinging once more, as well Liam Livingstone.

England struggled against Chahal and Axar in the previous match and Livingstone's role in taking them down is going to be crucial as well. England's batting is looking a bit vulnerable after the previous match and although it is more powerful than India's batting and has more depth, the players need to translate that potential into performance.

England's bowling was taken to the cleaners by India in the previous match. Only Chris Jordan managed to escape the punishment with his hard lengths and wide lines outside off. If England can take early wickets without suffering too much punishment, then India is susceptible. It will also ease the pressure on Matt Parkinson/ Liam Livingstone/ Moeen Ali who were put under the pump by the Indian batters in the previous match.

England's bowling lacks the extra pace and mystery spin that it normally would have had. This makes it a lot more 'hittable' and thus, susceptible in T20 cricket.

England Playing 11

Jason Roy, Jos Buttler, Dawid Malan, Liam Livingstone, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, David Willey, Chris Jordan, Richard Gleeson, Matt Parkinson.


India

India won the previous match with largely the same team that played against Ireland. Now, however, it will welcome back Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, Shreyas Iyer, and Rishab Pant into the squad. This is a problem that teams would kill to have but it certainly raises a lot of selection issues.

Virat Kohli will walk into the playing eleven even though his form is not the greatest. Will he replace Deepak Hooda who has been in tremendous form and shown the kind of aggression required at three or will he play in place of Ishan Kishan?

Wherever he plays, the pressure is going to be on him to attack from the very start, especially against the spinners. We have been betting against Kohli for quite some time now and it has been quite profitable for us. We will look to follow the same strategy in this match as well.

We don't think Shreyas Iyer finds a place in the playing eleven but Rishab Pant may get a go. This could be in place of Dinesh Karthik or a bowler if India can trust Hardik + Hooda to bowl the four overs needed. If a bowler has to be sacrificed, it is difficult to see anyone but Axar Patel missing out.

That may also cause Hardik Pandya to move down a position to accommodate Pant at 5 and that is not good news seeing the kind of form he is in.

Finally, with Bumrah available, Arshdeep will also miss out, even though his debut was very impressive.

India has no option but to give its senior players a run before actually deciding to move on to younger players. There is no question, though, that the pressure on India's seniors is more than it has ever been.

With so many potential changes, India's final eleven will remain a mystery until the toss. As a bettor, avoid picking player-specific or role-specific markets and instead focus on team-based betting markets.

India Playing 11

Rohit Sharma, V Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, RR Pant, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, JJ Bumrah, YS Chahal.

ENG vs IND Toss Prediction

The team that wins the toss is likely to want to bat first. Edgbaston has been a bat-first ground in the T20 Blast where teams have batted first and gotten big scores to win comfortably in the end. We think the same may be the preferred choice for the captains in this match.

Pitch and Conditions

The conditions at Edgbaston are expected to be good for cricket. A bright sunny day is forecast in Birmingham on match day. The pitch is likely to be good for batting but may become a tad slower as the second inning comes in. This is a day match and so the spinners may have more of a role to play in the second inning. We think batting first should be seen as a big advantage to have.

ENG vs IND Betting Tips

We are going to bet on India to win. While the Indian team is going to undergo a lot of changes, we don't think their approach is going to change. India has adopted a new aggressive style of playing where quick 30s trump slow fifties. The bowling attack has the experience of excelling in high-pressure T20 situations and will not be overawed by the strong English batting. If anything, players like Chahal will relish the challenge.

Bet on India to win.

In all likelihood, Kohli is going to open the batting or bat three. He is going to be expected to bat at a faster strike rate than we have seen him do in the IPL. He is also in poor form coming into this match and that will only increase the pressure on him. In the current situation, betting against Kohli is the smart thing to do (painful as it may be for his fans).

    Visit

India scored 66 runs in the powerplay in its previous match and had over 100 by the time the 10th Over was finished. We expect a similarly strong performance in the first half thanks to the strong batting top order. Getting a return of 56% for this betting market seems like an excellent proposition right now!

    Total Fours in the Match

    Over 28.5 (1.70)

    Visit

There were 23 fours hit by India alone in the previous match. England also managed 13 in a match where Buttler and Livingstone scored ducks. We think Over 28.5 is the way to go in a contest between two strong batting sides on a good surface and in ideal weather conditions!
