Here are Adam Drury‘s cricket betting tips for the third ODI in Johannesburg, which starts at 8:00am on Sunday.
Under 550 runs in the match
This mark has not been passed in any of the last four ODIs at the Wanderers.
And with plenty of rain forecast for Sunday, that pattern is unlikely to change here.
Joe Root to score over 37.5 runs {ODDS:533490603:5/6}
A freak run out saw Root fall short of his runs line in the first ODI, so there is no reason not to remain loyal to him for this one after Friday’s washout.
He has fallen short of 38 in five of his last 16 ODIs, and passed it in four of his five innings in England’s last ODI series in South Africa.
Quinton de Kock to be South Africa’s top batsman {ODDS:533490555:2/1}
Having successfully backed this in the opening ODI, explaining that it is bound to return profit throughout the series, there is no reason to go elsewhere in this market.
De Kock hit a brilliant 107 in that match, with only Temba Bavuma coming close to matching him. He has now scored 80+ in five of his last seven home ODIs, and top scored for his team in five of the last nine.
We can put his early dismissal in Friday’s abandoned match down as a rare failure.
England 1st to 10th over: Over 51.5 runs
Despite going on to post a disappointing total, England were still on 52 by the end of the 10th over of the first ODI.
Since the start of 2017, Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow’s partnership is only bettered by Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma of India in terms of runs, while they have scored at over seven runs per over.
Tabraiz Shamsi to take under 1.5 wickets
Shamsi took three wickets in Tuesday’s opener, but England have little to fear now that they have had a look at him.
The leg-spinner hadn’t taken more than one wicket in any of his last five ODIs.
