England v New Zealand Odds

The England v New Zealand cricket odds for the England New Zealand betting final one day International at Lords has England as narrow favourites at 4/5 while the Kiwis, who lead the five match series 2-1, are 5/4. The match promises to serve up a treat for fans, following the one wicket win by New Zealand the other day in a highly controversial match. The controversy was sparked after ill judged run out appeal by Captain Paul Collingwood against New Zealand batsman, Grant Elliott, who had been accidentally sent sprawling by England bowler, Ryan Sidebottom and was unable to make good his ground. After Collingwood insisted on appealing for Elliott’s dismissal, the umpire had no choice but to give Elliott out. This led to angry outbursts made by the ‘Kiwi’ team from the pavilion, who looked in fighting mood. They, quite rightly thought that the appeal was not within the spirit of the game. Notwithstanding, the ‘Kiwis’ managed to extract a last ball, one wicket victory in a pulsating match that has given them, at the very least a series draw.

England now find themselves in a must win match this weekend to tie the series but will face a New Zealand side, who following the shenanigans the other day, will be doubly determined to prevent them from doing so. Owie Shah, who top scored for England with an excellent 63, is 14/1 against from being England’s top batsman again! Has to be worth a nibble at those odds - he seemed in great form.
