West Indies v England Cricket Betting Tips

Half-centuries from Phil Salt (55) and Jacob Bethell (62) set England on their way to 218-5, though there were plenty of powerful cameos from elsewhere such as Jos Buttler’s 38 off 23 balls. But it wasn’t enough as the West Indies responded in kind.

The hosts produced the kind of dynamic batting display I was expecting from them at the start of the series. Openers Evin Lewis (68) and Shai Hope (54) led the way in a five-wicket win with an over to spare.

How do I see this final game going? I have no idea. England are a harder team to read than the final line of an optician’s sight test screen with a blindfold on! You know the one, ‘It’s P, R, X, I think there’s a V on there too’.

With that in mind, I will be swerving picking a winner and looking for value elsewhere.

I will start with a short-priced punt with bet365 - their 5/6 on there to be over 366.5 runs in the match. This venue has produced some high scores in T20Is in recent times, just like last night.

Buttler to shine

Before I get onto Jos Buttler, I will repeat the dose with a winner we had from last night’s game and remains an enticing price. That’s for West Indies captain Rovman Powell to hit at least two sixes in the match, available at 6/4 with betway via their Player Props section.

Powerful Powell has hit 11 sixes from the middle order in four matches in this series, including three in posting a quick-fire 38 last night. He has hit at least two sixes in every fixture.

Buttler hasn’t exactly torn it up in this series, his first match-action since a lengthy injury lay-off. But he has shown flashes of brilliance in posting scores of 0, 83, 4 and 38.

I expect him to build on that tonight and would be keen to take on a boosted 11/4 with BoyleSports on him to score a fifty in the match.

Continuing with Buttler success, betway have a 9/2 combination available via their Pre-Built Bets section. That’s for Buttler to score 25 plus runs, for Phil Salt to hit a six and for Saqib Mahmood and Akeal Hosein to take a wicket apiece.

All players have had success so far in the series.

And to finish with, I’d be interested in BoyleSports’ 6/1 on there to be a century scored in the match.

I’ve spoken a fair bit about the high-scoring nature of this venue across my recent previews, and there’s more than enough batting talent on show to give that bet a good chance of landing.

Following this evening’s fixture, we will be turning our attentions back to Test Cricket, with the three-match series against New Zealand starting on November 27 in Christchurch.
