ODI Betting Strategy
ODI betting strategy for this match is best advised by taking into context what has happened during the first two games. It may have become clear that one side is much stronger than their opponents in this format of the game.
If a side could potentially win the series after this match then the best ODI Cricket Betting strategy is to look for different bets which are going to provide much greater value such as backing the top bowler or batsman during the game.
Conditions at the Oval
Conditions at the Oval will not be so drastic that they favour either side massively. The pitch at the Oval is traditionally good which means England and India can set or chase down big totals. The ball nibbles around a bit early on but is fairly basic for a batsman to counter when he gets his eye in. This will make for healthy Sports Betting.
Conditions at the Oval are also a lot more vulnerable to the elements than at other grounds. The Oval is a more open ground as opposed to Lord's where the stands are more over the pitch. This makes overhead conditions favourable for bowling and could provide a little extra swing and seam movement early on in an innings.
The Pitch at the Oval
The pitch at the Oval is always prepared and cut to be quite flat and fast. The surface should not have as much grass on it as at other grounds around the country. There should be a few tufts of dead grass on the pitch at the Oval which will help the seamers out a little bit but these will be cut very thin.
Indians in London
India will enjoy possibly the most support they are likely to get in this match. There are more Indians in London than in any other city around the country. What this means from an Indian point of view is having a lot of support which could be crucial of England have gone 2-0 up in the series.
Test matches in the English capital have shown that while England may still have more support, Indians in London can make a lot of noise and will inspire their team to start playing very well. Indians in London could also flood Lord's for a later match if the Indians have already sewn up the series thus providing less incentive for English fans to get along to games.
