England vs Pakistan 2nd ODI Predictions > May 11th

[StevieDay1983]

The 2nd One-Day International between England and Pakistan is scheduled to take place tomorrow from 11am at The Ageas Bowl in Hampshire. I'll look to get a preview up later. Going to be an interesting one if the first ODI is anything to go by.

@Fader, @neilovan, @Ocerradus, @aussietennisexpert, @NoFear, @owenclass, @pmwelec,  @notanotherdonkey, and @KillerKat, will any of you guys be entertaining the possibility of a bet or two on this game?

England vs Pakistan

The first ODI contested by these two teams proved to us that this one-day series is going to be a lot closer than many anticipated. Pakistan have got a decent blend of youth and experience. England are still wanting to get some classy operators back into their side.

England will welcome opener Jason Roy back into the side. All-rounder Moeen Ali could also be set to return to the team. It's a welcome return to action for Roy with his deputy James Vince is considered to be more of a Test batsman rather than a one-day international.

Pakistan are looking to Imam -ul-Haq once again after he hit 42 in the first ODI. The mystery inclusion of Mohammad Amir continues. The bowler is one of five bowlers in the Pakistan side set to start yet he's only taken 5 wickets in 14 ODI matches. It's decisions like that add weight to the short price being offered on an England win.

Two bets stand out here. The England win seems inevitable. It was closer than England would have wanted in the first ODI but it was still a win. Pakistan could start well but they are prone to a batting collapse so backing them to have the brighter start is tempting. Backing Ben Stokes as top scorer for England is also a bet that sticks out.
