Betting notes
How to bet on SA vs ENG 2nd ODI
Four angles worth weighing before you place a bet on this fixture.
- 01
50-over games are won in the middle. Most of the liquidity sits in overs 11-40 and the final ten, which is where South Africa (308-358) and England (309-357) will either hit or miss their projections.
- 02
England go in as clear 59% favourites. Backing them early is simple, but the better value often comes from laying them in-play if South Africa win the first hour.
- 03
Late in a series, player markets such as top batter and most sixes often lag the match-winner line. That makes them the softer option on 2nd ODI day.
- 04
If South Africa vs England turns early, in-play markets such as next-over runs and method of dismissal give you another way in without chasing the headline price.
