India v England 5th T20I – Team News

• Suryakumar Yadav – He came into the XI for the injured Ishan Kishan and took the player of the match award in the fourth fixture. He should be retained.
• Hardik Pandya – India don’t necessarily have to pick an extra seamer now that the star all-rounder is bowling again.
• Rahul Chahar – Relatively new to international cricket, the spinner impressed with two wickets in the fourth match.
• Dawid Malan – England’s XI was unchanged for the fixture on Thursday. But they lost. Might they drop Malan for the next match? He hasn’t been performing well.
• Adil Rashid – The leg-spinner has shouldered the bulk of the slow-bowling responsibility for the tourists this series.

Check these additional cricket betting tips. They could help you make stronger decisions. These predictions include solid odds.

Go for Yadav as India’s Top Batsman

Suryakumar Yadav should be retained in the India XI, even if Ishan Kishan is fit again. Kumar was outstanding in the series-levelling win on Thursday.

Competition for places in India’s T20I batting order is fierce. Kumar is hungry for success. He’s a solid pick to the home side’s top batsman at 4.5 with 1xBet.

They have over 170 markets on offer for this decider.

Have Archer as England’s Top Bowler

England might be tempted to rest their star fast bowler, but they need Jofra Archer for this make-or-break fixture.

Archer took three wickets in the series opener and four in the most recent outing. He’ll be back in India for the IPL later this year.

He knows how to bowl in these conditions and is a good price at 3.75 with Betway to be the top England bowler in this match.

Pick Player of the Match Pandya

Hardik Pandya is a player for the big occasion. And occasions don’t come much bigger than this – a series decider against the World Cup champions.

Pandya didn’t bowl in international cricket for a while due to injury, but he’s doing so again – and took two key wickets in the penultimate match.

As a batsman and a bowler, Pandya can have a big impact on both fronts. Back him for the player of the match award in a longer-odds option of 13.0 with bet365.
