There is yet more India v England cricket betting coming back as the two nations head into a five match ODI series. England of course famously won the Test Match series and earned themselves a dramatic draw in the two match Twenty20 series out in India. After heading back to Blighty for their Christmas break, the England side have travelled all the way back out to the subcontinent to take on the Indians again.

However, England’s preparations didn’t get off to a flier, as they were crushed in a warm up by India A. England of course are writing off that result as irrelevant as they were very rusty with the bat, making the Indian bowlers look good. England just didn’t get their shot selection right on the day and could be a warning sign for the stiffer tests to come against the full Indian side. But is it just a bad game that a rusty England side got out of their system? They also didn’t have Alastair Cook in the side, who largely dominated the Indian bowlers in the Test Match series.
England have one final warm up match before taking on India in the first international on Friday. India themselves have come under some pressure themselves after losing a recent ODI series 2-1 against rivals Pakistan. They showed some pretty poor form with calls for captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni to be replaced. Batsman Vierender Sehwag though has been dropped from the Indian side for the first ODI against England.
England’s bowling attack though is very raw, very inexperienced as Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann and James Anderson will all be missing from the attack. So the focus of the England attack will have to come from Tim Bresnan and Steven Finn. England also have a terrible recent record in ODI matches in India. Following a 3-3 draw back in 2001/02, the two sides met in 2008 and 2011 in ODI series in India. Both series ended in favour of India, whitewashing England 5-0 on both occasions. They are priced at 10/1 with online bookmaker Unibet to repeat that.
