talkSPORT betting tips – Best bets and expert advice for India vs England 2nd ODI
After a crushing 4-1 defeat in the Twenty20 series between the sides, England also began their one-day international tussle with India on the back foot on Thursday. England slipped to a four-wicket defeat against the hosts in Jamtha, putting them 1-0 down in the three-match series. England were once again architects of their own downfall, going from 75-0 to 248 all out with few batters putting up resistance. With just one match to go after this one before the start of the ICC Champions Trophy, England will be eager to make their mark but they could again be up against it in Cuttack. talkSPORT BET welcome offer – Get £20 in free bets* India vs England 2nd ODI tips Jos Buttler top England runscorer @ 7/2 Shubman Gill top Indian runscorer @ 31/10 Ravindra Jadeja top India wickettaker @ 21/5 Buttler can impress again Jos Buttler returned to England’s ODI fold in the opening match of this series with the aim of injecting some life back into the format for the nation.

Gill remains India’s most reliable batsman Batting at three, Shubman Gill was India’s most devastating player in the first ODI. The 25-year-old blasted 14 fours on his way to a match-high total of 87 and he is again worth backing to be India’s top runscorer.

In the opening match of the series, Jadeja made the most of his nine overs with figures of 3-26 and the veteran is a worthwhile pick to be India’s top wickettaker once again. talkSPORT BET welcome offer – Get £20 in free bets* All odds correct at time of writing. *18+ New customers only.
