england v ireland cricket betting oddsEngland v Ireland 3rd ODI Preview – Betting Tips, Latest Odds, Team News and Predictions – 04／08／2020
Whether England go into this match unchanged remains in the balance. They might want to again test an XI that wasn’t entirely convincing in the second ODI.
With the series result wrapped, though, now is as good a time as any to get Liam Livingstone and Liam Dawson into the XI.
Livingstone is a solid middle-order batsman and can bowl a bit of leg-spin, too. Left-armer Dawson could be an alternative to Rashid, turning the ball away from the right-handers. He’s a decent lower-order batsman, too.
Ireland really need more from their specialist batsmen. Campher can’t go it alone all the time. The likes of Stirling, fellow opener Gareth Delany, captain Andy Balbirnie must deliver.
Now seems the right time to return the lanky Boyd Rankin to the XI, too. He could replace Craig Young, who hasn’t been effective enough.
Rankin has played for and against England – and his extra height might really test the opposition.

Let’s see how the best legal betting sites in India have this match shaping up – and what free cricket bet tip we can offer for each attractive market.
Willey has enjoyed this month’s resurgence, after being omitted from England’s World Cup squad last year. He thought his international career was over? – and so did others. But he’s bounced back nicely.
He’s the top wicket-taker of the series at the moment – three ahead of the rest. The Ireland batsmen have struggled to successfully negotiate his left-arm angle – and late swing.
At 14.00 in Unibet’s man of the match market, Willey is a really good bet – and could take the player of the series accolade as well.
Ireland lost a wicket in the first over in the opening ODI and England did the same in the second. We’re backing the trend to continue in the third ODI.
Jason Roy is prone to rash shots early in his innings. If not him, Bairstow or any other host opener are priced at 7.00 by 22Bet to fall in the first over of the England innings.
Experienced opening batsman Stirling hasn’t fired for Ireland yet this series. He’s been bubbling under – and the third ODI might be his time to go big.
Stirling has played county cricket in the United Kingdom and is more familiar than most Irishman with the conditions at the Rose Bowl.
LeoVegas have Stirling offered at 5.00 to be Ireland’s top batsman. If not him, then that man Campher at 6.50 is another solid bet.

England v Ireland
Saturday 1 August 14:00
TV: live on Sky Sports
England didn’t win in the style of 1/9 shots in the first ODI at the Ageas Bowl on Thursday. But there was never any doubt that they wouldn’t recover from 79 for four to chase a meagre 173.
David Willey, with five wickets, had pretty much ended hopes of a contest. When he reduced the Irish to 28 for five the game resembled a quarantine tea break instead of a 100-over battle.
Willey, heartbroken at missing out on the World Cup squad last year, dovetailed well with Saqib Mahmood who extracted decent pace and bounce.
With the bat, England looked rusty as you would expect. Their style is attacking recklessness and this doesn’t suit long lay-offs. James Vince looked a million bucks for 25. Then got out. Some things never change. Sam Billing’s unbeaten 67 gives him a chance to nail down a regular spot.
Probable XI Roy, Bairstow, Vince, Banton, Billings, Morgan, Ali, T Curran, Rashid, Willey, Mahmood
Ireland were indebted to debutant Curtis Campher who hit an unbeaten half-century on debut and a quick 40 from Andy McBrine. Without those contributions they would have been humiliated.
Things had gone awry from the first over with Paul Stirling’s awkward clip to midwicket. And when their best two batsmen were back in the hutch after Andrew Balbirnie’s feather behind 150 looked beyond them.
Although they claimed four England wickets they never managed a squeeze of any sort. Boyd Rankin must surely come into bolster the ranks after BJ McCarthy’s injury. Josh Little is another option. Mark Adair has already been ruled out.
Possible XI P Stirling, G Delaney, A Balbirnie, H Tector, K O’Brien, L Tucker, C Campher, S Singh, A McBrine, C Young, B Rankin
We expect the Ageas Bowl pitch to get slower as this three-game series progresses. They are using the same strip for each game. That rather dents confidence that England will be capable of approaching something in the region of 400.
Previously the surface had a reputation for runs. Before the World Cup, 300 had been breached five times in eight. It was a different story in the tournament, though – one team busted 250 in four matches. The average score was 231. The runs per over average was 4.7, down from 5.3 in all matches.
Although Ireland batted poorly, it looked like the World Cup wicket rather than the one that preceded it.
England are shorter than they were for the first match and that can be no surprise considering how disappointing Ireland were with the bat. They are no better than at present.
Can we make a case for a trade on the Irish, then? Possibly although it comes with the caveat that you may have to accept that you never actually get the chance to trade it.
Ireland’s opportunity for traction is likely to come from the pitch. If it gets slower and tackier they could use spin to squeeze England in a chase. This has been England’s Achilles’ heel. McBrine and Simi Singh will have to bowl much better while Gareth Delany will need more overs. Not to mention an extra 100 runs on the board.
If all of that happens then it is possible that Ireland’s price might be chopped in half from 12.50.
There are few Betfair Sportsbook specials which help to bring life to another uncompetitive affair. The first price that leaps from the coupon is the 10/11 that England win, hit the most sixes, have the highest opening partnership and highest first 15 over score.
Another is the even money that Ireland score 199 runs or less. The 8/1 that England bust 400 or more will be popular although we’re not sure the pitch helps. England will, of course, have to bat first, too.

england v ireland cricket betting oddsEngland v Ireland： third ODI odds, predictions and betting tips
ngland have won their three-match one-day international series with Ireland, having taken an unassailable 2-0 lead, but Ireland should be confident of causing the hosts problems in the final match at the Ageas Bowl.
In the first two ODIs, England needed strong batting performances lower down the order. Sam Billings (67 not out) and Eoin Morgan (36 not out) added an unbroken 96 for the fifth wicket in the first match as England recovered from 78 for four to chase 173 for victory, and similarly David Willey’s unbeaten run-a-ball 47 saw them over the line in the second match after they had slipped to 137 for six in pursuit of Ireland’s 212 for nine.
Ireland’s bowling attack has shown a lot of promise in this series and if the more experienced batsmen can match the efforts of 21-year-old Curtis Campher, who has blasted 59 not out and 68 so far in the series, neutrals (on TV of course) could be in for a great final clash.

This series has given some of those England squad members who missed out on last year’s World Cup win a chance to prove their worth in the white-ball set-up and Willey has snatched the chance.
After registering figures of five for 30 in a destructive bowling spell that earned him the man-of-the-match award in the first ODI, he removed Ireland’s openers Paul Stirling and Gareth Delany in the second game before making a crucial 47 with five fours and two sixes.
The likes of Tom Curran, Reece Topley and Liam Dawson could come into the team for this contest but Willey’s spot should be safe and he can again impress with the ball.
He has taken at least one wicket in each of his last five ODIs for England and is worth a bet to be their top wicket-taker in the final match of the series.
Tip: David Willey top England wicket-taker @ 3/1 with bet365
Should Willey keep his spot in the England attack, he will be aiming to dislodge Ireland opener Stirling for the third successive match.
Stirling made two from four balls before being chipping the left-armer to Eoin Morgan at short mid-wicket in the first match, and carved the ball to Tom Banton in the gully in match two.
Both he and Delany have looked low on confidence, the pair making just 36 runs between them in the first two matches, and Delany was plumb leg-before for a duck in the second game.
Stirling has reached the half-century mark in only one of his last six innings in the format and it could pay to back him to score under 21 runs at the Ageas Bowl.
Tip: Paul Stirling under 20.5 runs @ 10/11 with bet365
The sub-par knocks from Stirling and Delany, plus the fact Ireland have batted first in both games, have contributed to two low-scoring affairs, and punters should anticipate the final match producing fewer than 521 runs.
The aggregate in the opener was only 346 runs, which rose to 428 runs in the second, and with the same strip expected to be used once again, it is difficult to envisage a free-scoring encounter.
Ireland’s top order have looked brittle and beyond the anomalous 82 runs from 41 balls from Bairstow, England have looked below par at the crease as well.
England have also scored fewer than 200 runs in three of their last five wins over the Irish and stumbled badly england v ireland cricket betting oddsEngland v Ireland： third ODI odds, predictions and betting tips in pursuit of a total only just higher than that in the last match.
Tip: Under 520.5 runs in match @ 4/5 with bet365
