australia vs england cricket bettingAustralia vs England： T20 Game 3 Preview & Betting Tips
England stamped their claim for World Cup favouritism by wrapping up the three-game series against Australia on Wednesday night.
England have thrived against Australia’s bowling attack in the first two encounters, so what can the hosts do to avoid a whitewash in Game 3?
Josh Nevett takes a close look at the contest with his free preview and cricket betting tips below.
Manuka Oval, Canberra, Friday October 14th, 7:10pm (AEDT)
Australia:?Aaron Finch (c), Sean Abbott, Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins, Tim David, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Josh Inglis, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Kane Richardson, Daniel Sams, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Swepson, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Adam Zampa
England:?Jos Buttler (c), Moeen Ali, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Alex Hales, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Ben Stokes, Reece Topley, David Willey, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood.
The second match of this quickfire three-match series provided a different narrative for an identical result, with England coming out on top by eight runs for the second game running.
A slower Canberra pitch produced lower totals, Dawid Malan guiding the visitors to 7-178 with his 82 (49). Fellow left-hander Moeen Ali also got in on the act, hitting 44 (27) in a late innings cameo after the rest of the top order failed. Those two individual efforts were enough for England to put together a winning score, as they restricted Australia to 6-170 despite some powerful hitting from Mitch Marsh (45 off 29) and Tim David (40 off 23).
Crafty medium pacer Sam Curran was the pick of the bowlers on the night, picking up 3-25 (4) while Aussies Stoinis and Adam Zampa picked up 3-34 and 2-26, respectively.
It was a surprise to see Australia fall short again considering they regained the skill and experience of Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Glenn Maxwell, Adam Zampa and Mitchell Starc. Those five stars ultimately had little impact on Wednesday, an uncommon occurrence.
While the series is in the bag for England, there is still plenty to play for as the World Cup draws closer.
In the pursuit of pride and form, I think Australia can prevent a clean sweep if at least a couple of their big names fire on Friday.
I’m going back to this bet which has hit more often than not in recent times. Finch is still a man out of form, and I’m not convinced that a return to the top of the order helps his scoring potential. After all, the swinging ball has been known to expose his technical and mental deficiencies. Finch scored just 13 on Wednesday.

This market pips two quality leg spinners against each other. Zampa took two wickets on Wednesday and look dangerous as always. He loves playing in home conditions and is one of the best white ball spinners in the world. On the other hand, Rashid has struggled since landing on Australian shores, and was hit for 38 runs off his four overs on Wednesday.

australia vs england cricket bettingAustralian Cricket： Australia v England T20 preview
It does not get much bigger than Australia versus England and with the T20 World Cup just around the corner the next three matches between the arch rivals are crucial.
(This article was originally published on 09.10.2022)
The Aussies continued their build up to the World Cup with a 2-0 series win over the West Indies, but now they will face a big test against another of the hot fancies to win the tournament.
England made it to the semi-finals of the last T20 World Cup before losing to New Zealand and they look set to be in the mix again.
Both teams will tinker with their sides over the next three games and it will be interesting to see who takes to the field in the first game at Optus Stadium in Perth on Sunday.
Any game between Australia and England is huge and this could well be a dress rehearsal for the T20 World Cup final, so they will be taking it extra seriously.
So let’s take a closer look at the opening game in WA.
What: Australia v England
Where: Optus Stadium, Perth
When: 18:10 (AEST) Sunday 9th October
How to watch: Foxtel, Kayo
Odds: Australia 11/10, England 8/11
Australia are set to field two different sides in two different states of the country and not everyone has made the trip to Perth for the first game.
With the second and third games to be played in Canberra, some have remained in the nation’s capital.
They include Adam Zampa, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Glenn Maxwell, who were all part of the side that won the T20 World Cup.
However that does mean that others will get a chance to impress and stake a claim for the World Cup.
West Aussies Mitch Marsh, Kane Richardson and Ashton Agar are set to play while another WA star, Marcus Stoinis, will make his return from injury in the game.
Marsh has also had his injury issues and was rested in the second match against the West Indies. However he will return to action in his home state.
Australia: Aaron Finch (c), Sean Abbott, Ashton Agar, Tim David, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Josh Inglis, Mitchell Marsh, Kane Richardson, Daniel Sams, Steve Smith, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Swepson, Matthew Wade, David Warner
England have a different look about them this year with Eoin Morgan no longer captain following his retirement, so it is Jos Butler that now leads the side.
There is no Jonny Bairstow who has been ruled out long-term through injury, so Alex Hales has been called up to replace him.
Harry Brook and Phil Salt, who both played in the Big Bash League last season with the Hobart Hurricanes and Adelaide Strikers respectively, are also new faces in the England.
Mark Wood will be the fast bowler to fear as he has been in top form and has been clocking some electric pace.
England: Jos Buttler (c), Moeen Ali, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Alex Hales, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Ben Stokes, Reece Topley, David Willey, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood.
Australia performed well despite slipping to a 2-1 series defeat in India, but bounced back well when beating the West Indies 2-0 back on home soil.
England are also in good touch after they beat Pakistan 4-3. Before that series they suffered narrow defeats against both India and South Africa.
England came out on top the last time the two sides met in the T20 World Cup, winning by eight wickets in the group stage. But of course Australia had the last laugh when winning the whole tournament.
Australia are also the dominant side on home soil when winning seven matches compared to England’s one victory down under.
The form book can go out of the window though and T20 matches against these two sides can go either way. That is the nature of the shortest form of the game, they hinge on pivotal moments.
England captain Butler says Test captain Ben Stokes will be crucial to England’s chances of winning the T20 World Cup and he is set to bat at four.
”Ben’s a superstar of the game and absolutely someone you want in your team, both on the field and off the field, he brings so much to the group,” Butler said. “We’ll try to get him up the order as high as we can. Give him as much responsibility as possible and allow him to play his way to get the best out of him.”
Australia will be tinkering with their side and captain Aaron Finch says that is the way to go with the T20 World Cup not far away.
”We’re going to keep tinkering with things just to make sure we’ve got all bases covered heading into the World Cup,” Finch said.

australia vs england cricket bettingBBL Tips and Previews, 19-20 December
Heralded as one of the BBL favourites this year, it hasn’t been an ideal start for Hobart, with a comprehensive loss to the Stars to kick off their season. The Canes failed to take their early chances and let Melbourne get away with a strong batting performance that they couldn’t match.
Their big-hitting line-up failed to deliver any real blow, with quiet performances from D’Arcy Short and Ben McDermott, but that should be an aberration and not the norm for the season ahead. Look for either of these two to get their eye in early and make a splash against the Scorchers.
Riley Meredith showed a bit with the ball, aside from one massive hit into the stands from Beau Webster, while Patrick Dooley’s left-arm spin can contain teams that might be looking to get away.
Perth has had a rough start to its campaign, with injuries and unavailabilities significantly weakening their team. But the reigning champions are known for their depth and have plenty to turn to. Jhye Richardson and Ashton Agar bring significant international and domestic experience to the bowling attack, while young gun Cooper Connolly is one to watch with the bat. Connolly may be about to take the world by storm, and with Mitch Marsh out for the season, he has an opening to make all his. Look for him to get some runs here.
australia vs england cricket bettingEngland vs Australia Legends Match Prediction & Betting Tips
England Legends will take on Australia Legends in Match 20 of the 2022 Road Safety World Series at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium. The game begins at 19:30 local time on Tuesday.
Ian Bell’s side are joint bottom in the table with Bangladesh Legends after picking up only two points all competition. The two points came from a no-result against South Africa Legends in Match 7 with defeats coming against Sri Lanka Legends, West Indies Legends and India Legends.
England Legends’ highest run scorer in the tournament is their captain Ian Bell who has made 73 runs from the 80 balls he has faced across the three games. Former Surrey all-rounder, Rikki Clarke, is the only player for England Legends to have made a half-century.
Former Lancashire spinner, Stephen Parry, has been England Legends’ top wicket taker by some distance in the competition. He has taken four wickets, including 3-19 against India Legends, with no other bowler in the squad contributing two dismissals.
England Legends have been very disappointing this year and look to be missing their captain from the 2021 campaign, Kevin Pietersen.
The newcomers to the tournament this year have picked up 10 points from four games so far and a win in this match should see them qualify for the semi-finals. In this campaign they have beaten Bangladesh Legends and West Indies Legends in their last game.
Requiring 179 to beat West Indies Legends on Sunday in Dehradun, captain Shane Watson stepped up at the top of the order and delivered 88 runs from 50 balls. He shared an opening partnership of 130 inside 12 overs with Alex Doolan who made 56 runs from 30 balls.
Former Australian international spinner Bryce McGain was the Player of the Match on Sunday after recording figures of 3-23 from his four overs. He not only dismissed the in-form Dwayne Smith on 65, but also picked up the wickets of Narsingh Deonarine and Danza Hyatt.
Australia Legends did not win either of their opening two matches in the tournament but are now looking for their third successive victory in this game.
The match will be played at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium, Raipur. Although the surface will be hard, the overhead conditions will make batting tough in this game.
