Cricket betting tips: Best bets for England vs India T20I and Major League Cricket
England and India continue their high-octane T20I series at Trent Bridge, while Major League Cricket serves up a blockbuster clash between MI New York and San Francisco Unicorns this week.
Here, Sports News Blitz cricket expert Himanshu Sharma breaks down the best bets, value plays and key betting angles.
England vs India 3rd T20I at Trent Bridge
Date and time: July 7 (Tuesday) at 5:30pm BST
England head to Trent Bridge with the upper hand after taking the lead in the five-match series courtesy of an impressive chase in Manchester.
After the opening match was washed out, Harry Brook's side produced a composed all-round display in the second T20I.
The hosts recovered well with the ball before Jacob Bethell's unbeaten knock guided them home.
India, meanwhile, have shown flashes of their immense potential without quite hitting top gear.
Abhishek Sharma has continued his aggressive approach at the top of the order, while teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has offered glimpses of his extraordinary talent.
However, the visitors will feel they left runs behind in Manchester after a promising start, placing extra responsibility on the middle order to finish strongly.
Trent Bridge has traditionally been associated with high-scoring white-ball cricket, but recent matches suggest the surface has become more balanced.
The short square boundaries and quick outfield reward attacking batting.
The toss could again prove significant, with chasing generally remaining the preferred option under lights.
England are slight favourites at 1.85, while India are available at 1.95 to draw level in the series.
