England v Pakistan 2nd ODI – Match Preview

England have a mixed record in ODIs at Lord’s over the years. They have won four of their last 10 matches here, plus the tie in the World Cup final.

Where: Lord’s, London

When: Saturday, 10 June 2021

Weather conditions: There will be dark clouds overhead for most of the day’s play and that also means an increased chance of rain for the fixture. It does brighten later so play shouldn’t be impacted.

England v Pakistan 2nd ODI – Team News

• New Squad – This is an inexperienced squad made up of some fringe players following a Covid-19 outbreak among those first selected.
• Ben Stokes – The all-rounder returned from injury to captain the side to victory in the first game. He hit a crucial 84 in the World Cup final in the last ODI here.
• John Simpson – The wicketkeeper-batsman was handed his first cap in the last match along with Phil Salt and Brydon Carse. The Middlesex man is at his home ground for this.
• Fakhar Zaman – Opener Fakhar top-scored for his side in the previous clash but will be hoping for more support from both Imam and Babar at the top this time.
• Shaheen Afridi – The Pakistan pace ace took the only England wicket in the first match of the series but looked dangerous. He took six wickets in the last ODI he played here in the World Cup.

England v Pakistan 2nd ODI – Betting Tips and Predictions

Our experts have cricket betting tips for this match. These include the latest odds and are based on the form of the players.

Back Shaheen to Shine

Shaheen Afridi caused problems at times in the first ODI but only had the wicket of Phil Salt to show for it.

That, however, was still more than his fellow bowlers and he can be the top Pakistan wicket-taker in this fixture as well.

His price of 3.74 with 1xBet look appealing, especially when you look at his recent ODI record at this venue.

Conditions should suit his pace bowling as they did when he took six wickets against Bangladesh during the 2019 World Cup.

Vince Offers Value

James Vince’s batting wasn’t needed in the first game but he was slated to come in at number four in Cardiff.

There’s a chance he could see some action here and backing him to be England’s top batsman is appealing at the prices.

There is no doubting his ability but he hasn’t quite made it stick on the international scene.

This is a big opportunity for him and he has been in solid form domestically without quite building on his starts.

His price of 5.0 with bet365 looks the value play of this match.

Back Imam at Lord’s

As you’d expect, Babar Azam heads the top Pakistan bowler market.

However, that does mean there is more value to be had on one of his teammates if you think they can run him close.

In the last game Fakhar took the prize, this time it is worth considering Imam ul-Haq.

Both he and Babar fell for ducks in the last contest, but this could be different.

Imam his a 100-ball century in his previous ODI at this venue and will welcome a return.

His price of 4.5 with bet365 looks good.
