India look to seal the ODI series against West Indies in Guwahati, while South Africa and Australia meet in a dead rubber in Potchefstroom.
Here, Sports News Blitz cricket betting expert Himanshu Sharma breaks down the best bets, value plays, and key betting angles ahead of this week’s action.
India vs West Indies, 2nd ODI
Date and time: Wednesday, September 30 at 9:30 AM BST
Venue: Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati
India will be confident of putting the series beyond doubt after a dominant performance in the opening ODI.
West Indies showed enough with the bat to suggest they can compete. However, India’s ruthless batting proved too much in the first match.
India betting angles
India’s dominance is reflected in the match market. The hosts are priced at around 1.10, while West Indies are available at 6.75.
Virat Kohli produced another statement performance in the opening ODI. He smashed nine sixes on his way to a superb century.
Kohli looks particularly interesting in the player markets after that performance.
Kuldeep Yadav also caused plenty of problems for the tourists with his wrist spin. His four-wicket haul makes him an obvious candidate in the India top-bowler market.
The Guwahati pitch is another reason to expect plenty of runs.
Previous ODIs at Barsapara have produced big totals. The conditions should again favour the batters.
Both teams possess plenty of batting firepower. As a result, 300+ in the first innings looks like an appealing betting angle.
Best bets
- Virat Kohli to be India’s best batter
- Kuldeep Yadav to be India’s best bowler
- First innings total over 300 runs
South Africa vs Australia, 3rd ODI
Date and time: Wednesday, September 30 at 12:30 PM BST
Venue: Senwes Park, Potchefstroom
South Africa have already secured the ODI series after winning both matches.
Australia remain favourites at 1.75 for the third game. South Africa are priced at 2.00, making the hosts an interesting option for value bettors.
South Africa vs Australia betting angles
Australia will be bolstered by the return of Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc.
South Africa could also make changes with the Test series approaching.
Spin has played an important role during the series. Keshav Maharaj and Bjorn Fortuin have combined for 10 wickets across the opening two matches.
Maharaj naturally stands out in the South Africa top-bowler market.
Aiden Markram is also worth considering in the Player of the Match market. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball adds to his appeal.
Meanwhile, Mitchell Starc would be one of the first names to consider in Australia’s top-bowler market.
Senwes Park run-scoring conditions
Senwes Park has traditionally been a venue where ODI batters can make the most of the conditions.
The last 50-over game here produced a first-innings total above 300.
Both South Africa and Australia have plenty of batting firepower. The team batting first should have the conditions to post another substantial total.
Backing the first innings to go beyond 300 runs offers another betting angle at a venue that can produce high scores.
Best bets
- Mitchell Starc to be Australia’s top bowler
- Aiden Markram to win Player of the Match
- First innings total over 300 runs
