Cricket Tips

Pakistan levelled the series against England in Multan last week, creating a template for future success that plays a big role in this week's Pakistan v England cricket betting tips. Expect plenty of spin in Rawalpindi as the curators do their best to dry out a fresh wicket for the third Test, and check out our free Pakistan v England cricket betting tips to see if we think that will play a role plus the top cricket betting offers from the best betting sites. Well, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out what approach Pakistan will be hoping to take for this third Test. Having taken all 20 wickets with spin, through Sajid Khan and Noman Ali, they will be imploring the groundsman at Rawalpindi to prepare a raging turner. England are certainly expecting that having included Rehan Ahmed as a third spinner in their side. Despite having one of the very best players of spin in their team, England were undone in the second Test at Multan, bowled out for 291 and 144. In fact, they lost their last 18 wickets in the match for the addition of only 224 runs. But, despite this, I think England remain the better side, even with that misstep in Multan when they got on the wrong end of a crucial toss, and I think they will be better prepared now following that experience. I suggested them as series winners before a ball was bowled, and I’m not changing my mind. They’re 1/1 with betway to win. I fully expect spin to dominate in this Test. With that in mind, my next suggestion is Paddy Power’s 2/1 on any England player to be out stumped in the first innings. Two fell that way in the second innings of the second Test at Multan. You would think that Noman Ali and Sajid Khan are going to be Pakistan’s main weapons, Jack Leach and Shoaib Bashir England’s. I don’t see any reason to divert away from success for Leach, Somerset’s left-arm spinner who brought us success in the first two Tests. I expect the pitch to turn in Rawalpindi, Leach to bowl a lot of overs as a result and for him to take wickets. He’s 16/5 with betfair to be England’s top first-innings bowler. Now for two juicer prices to finish with. Opener Ben Duckett has impressed this series with scores of 84 and 114. Yes, he’s prone to not going big as often as he should. But I don’t expect this Test to be one where we see a first-innings score of 500. I think it could be more 350 being a decent score. So a repeat of that 114 he scored in the first innings of the second Test at Multan could see him as England’s top run-scorer in the first innings. That’s available at an enticing 5/1 with BetVictor. And my final suggestion of this Test Match betting tips preview, and series for that matter, is a 25/1 Paddy Power bet builder selection on spinners Jack Leach and Sajid Khan to take five wickets apiece in the respective first innings. Left-armer Leach is the leading wicket-taker in the series with 14 from two matches, while offie Khan has claimed nine in one appearance. At that price, it has to be worth a couple of quid.
