This fifth and final ODI between England and Pakistan this Wednesday at the Rose Bowl has taken on a new dimension after Pakistan continued their five match series comeback by winning the 4th ODI at Lords to level at 2 matches each. Bet365 Bookmakers nonetheless still make England 8/15 odds on favourites in the betting to win this match, with Pakistan available at 6/4.
There will be many neutral punters taking advantage of the Pakistan betting odds, due mainly to the fact that the momentum is now with them after winning back to back matches and coming back from the brink of humiliation to a potential winning position.
England captain, Andrew Strauss, who once again top scored for England at Lords, was clearly upset of how his team floundered in the wake of the Pakistan bowling attack, only he and opening partner Stephen Davies, made significant batting contributions, with Ian Bell and Eoin Morgan, getting themselves in before losing their wickets. Strauss is a worthy 3/1 favourite with bet365 to be Englands top batsman once again, while Davies and Morgan are next best at 4/1.
The rest of the batting line up simply failed, particularly Collingwood, who is clearly out of touch and will surely be dropped for the this final match. Question marks must also be raised about the roles of all rounders, Michael Yardy and Tim Bresnan, neither made a worthwhile contribution with either bat or ball, and their places must be in jeopardy too. There is certainly a strong argument right now, that Collingwood, Bresnan and Yardy should make way for Ravi Bopara, Luke Wright and Ajmal Shahzad.
Fifth ODI Betting Comparisons.
Despite the ongoing betting scandal, Shahid Afridi , the Pakistan captain and his team should be congratulated in making this series such a close one. They have been strong in bowling as well as the batting departments in the last two matches, with the middle and lower middle order doing particularly well on Monday. Abdul Razzaq, who had been left out of the early part of the tour, weighed in at the end of the Pakistani innings at Lords and plundered 44 runs off just 25 balls. He looked in great nick and may just be the man to put the money on to top score for Pakistan in this final match, particularly as he has odds of 14/1 offered by Bet365.com.
Graeme Swann once again took the most wickets for England, this time finishing with excellent figures of 4-37, he would be hard to ignore to finish as Top England bowler at the Rose Bowl. For Pakistan, Umar Gul continued at Lords where he left off at the Oval and although he never took six wickets this time he did significantly trouble the England batting line up finishing with a first class return of 4-32. He would be our pick to continue with the good form and be the Pakistan Top Bowler once again, this time at the Rose Bowl.
