Weekly Rundown of Cricket Games: England Seek to Divide and Conquer

Cricket is in the middle of one of its busiest patches of the year, with the Southern Hemisphere summer in full swing. Last week saw New Zealand and England play out one of the best Test matches of all time, with the home side hanging on for a one-run win earlier today. Add in a Test between South Africa and the West Indies starting, and there’s been plenty of cricket to watch, plus MyBookie has the Cricket betting lines for all the top matches during the week, including the weekend action.

 

Betting Rundown of Cricket Games | England Seek to Divide and Conquer

This week, India and Australia go at it for round three of their Test series, while England are seeking to divide and conquer, with an ODI series against Bangladesh kicking off tomorrow using an entirely different squad.

We break down the best bets to make on these matches, and look at the latest odds for this week’s cricket.

 

India vs. Australia Third Test (Tuesday 28 February)

This Tuesday EST India and Australia will come together for the third time in the last month to play Test cricket. In the first two matches, India have been dominant—the question is, with ten days off between the second and third Test, can Australia turn this series around?

To begin the series, Australia were woeful. The visitors simply failed to adjust to the spinning Indian conditions, and were beaten by an innings and 132 runs. Last Test, they improved somewhat, even taking a one-run lead after the first two innings, before collapsing for 113 and losing by six wickets.

For Australia to have any chance of winning the third Test, they’ll need to be more patient with their batting. The second Test collapse was largely due to poor shot selection, something that can be avoided. We expect this to be a tighter Test match, and could even yield and Australian win.

India are the heavy favorites however, with a money line of -275 to +400 for the win.

Bangladesh vs. England ODI Series (March 1-6)

A little over 24 hours after concluding an epic Test match against New Zealand, England will play their first ODI against Bangladesh, in Bangladesh.

Thing is, it’s the same nation, but none of the same players. In this modern era of cricket, teams like India have been splitting their squads for years, and England are following suit now, playing out a full series in Bangladesh with different squads.

Just quietly, Bangladesh have been in excellent form in ODI cricket, and will fancy their chances of picking off England here. The hosts most recently won 2-1 against India, and also collected series wins against the West Indies, South Africa, and Afghanistan in 2022. England’s white-ball squad, on the other hand, are coming into this series off the back of series losses to Australia and South Africa.

They are the reigning ODI and T20 World Champions, however, which should make this a spicy series. We say it’ll be 2-1, with Bangladesh stealing the first match at +150.
