Fourth ODI: England v Australia Cricket Betting Tips & Betting Offers
With the hosts pulling one back in the third ODI, we have the latest England v Australia cricket betting tips and betting odds ahead of the fourth game at Lord's.
Harry Brook played the archetypical captain’s innings in game three at Durham - 110 not out off 94 balls - with help from Will Jacks (84) as England beat Australia by 46 runs on the Duckworth Lewis Stern method. They were well on course at 254-4 in the 38th over chasing 305 when the rain came.
It was a huge relief for an England side who had floundered in the opening two games, and heading to London the series remains alive.
Check out our tips for the ODI clash between England and Australia at Lord's below, plus the top cricket betting offers from the best betting sites.
England v Australia Cricket Betting Tips
England v Australia Cricket Betting Tips & Preview
Do I expect England to continue their fightback against the world champions, who were on a 14-match winning streak heading up to Durham? No I don’t.
Yes, England have players with enough talent to strike a telling blow. But Australia are stronger and with more experience. Carey, Hazlewood, Labuschagne, Maxwell and Starc, and the list goes on.
Instead of picking Australia to win at 8/11, I like bet365’s 2/1 via their bet builder section on Australia win and any batter from either side to score a century.
There’s been two centuries already in this series - one from Travis Head, one from Brook - and there’s more than enough batting talent on show to secure us a winner.
Strong feeling for Smith success - ODI betting tips preview
I have a feeling for Steve Smith success in this fourth ODI.
As much as the 50-over game has moved to a place where it’s almost an extension of T20 cricket, I’m convinced there remains a place for a player of Smith’s ilk - someone happy to build an innings.
In fact, I believe that’s exactly what England are missing in this series. When available, Joe Root walks into this side.
Smith scored 60 at Durham last time out, and bet365 have him at 9/4 to repeat the trick at a venue where he has had plenty of success in Test cricket. He has a double century and a century to his name against England at the Home of Cricket.
I have another price for you which I believe offers serious value. I will come back to that to finish.
William Hill have the same 9/4 price available - via their #YourOdds selections - on Australians Mitchell Starc and Adam Zampa to take over one wicket apiece at Lord’s. So two wickets apiece or more will win that bet.
New ball left-arm quick Starc has achieved that in his two appearances so far - three wickets at Headingley, two at Durham - and leg-spinner Zampa claimed three at Trent Bridge last week. He was rested at Durham but should return.
bet365 have a number of value bets available for this fixture, including England opener Phil Salt at 7/2 to score a fifty. He’s not found form so far in this series, with score of 17, 12 and 0. But 7/2 on him to score a fifty at Lord’s is enticing.
And it’s exactly the same from bet365 on Smith to score a century in the match, which is available at 9/1. I’ve seen that selection priced up as short as 9/2 elsewhere.
That bringing home that price would be some way to end our England v Australia cricket betting tips preview.
Now, it’s 26 matches since Australia’s Smith scored an One-Day International century, against New Zealand at Cairns in September 2022.
He has scored seven fifties since then, including one at Durham last time out. I just have a feeling that he may be due a day out.
