Read on for our betting tips and match prediction on England vs Sri Lanka 2016 4th ODI....
Venue and Toss
398, 247, 175, 253, 293, 233, 170, 211, 251, 238 and 234 are the first-innings scores of the last 11 ODIs at the Kennington Oval. Only once has a team gone past 300 and the rest are all moderate-to-low totals. Since a score of around 250 has been defended only twice, the team batting first will want to post at least 275 here.
8 of the last 11 matches here have been won while chasing. Also, the possibility of rain will make the toss all the more important, and so the team that wins it on Wednesday is likely to bat second.
Sri Lanka will need the toss to go their way because otherwise it is going to be difficult for them to win this match.
England Team News & Playing 11
If ENG Bat First
Predicted Score: Around 270
The centurions of the second match, Alex Hales and Jason Roy will be opening the innings. One of them will need to score big so that Root and Morgan can play their natural game. Buttler and Woakes, who have good scores in the first match, will be the key batsmen in the lower-middle order. England bat deep and they should get 270 or more if wickets are kept in hand.
Lakmal and skipper Mathews are likely to start with the new ball for Sri Lanka. Lakmal has looked threatening in this series and he will be backed to break England's opening partnership. If he is able to take wickets early on, Mathews and Pradeep can build more pressure by keeping the run-flow in check. If England lose wickets in a flurry, they could face a few problems in reaching the predicted score.
Sri Lanka Team News & Playing 11
If SL Bat First
Predicted Score: Around 260
Gunathilaka will open the batting with Kusal Perera who will be expected to play a big knock. The bigger wickets, however, will be that of Chandimal and Mathews in the middle order as the two are the leading run-scorers in the series. Sri Lanka will be counting on the likes of Perera, Mendis, Mathews and Chandimal to take them to around 260.
The Lankan openers will be facing Woakes and Willy at the start of their innings. The surface at the Oval is going to suit their pace and the batsmen will be careful against them. Liam Plunkett, with 7 wickets so far, is the highest wicket-taker in this series and he is going to be England's best bet to pick up the most wickets in this match. If these three run through Sri Lanka's top order quickly, that total of 260 won’t be easy to achieve.
Our Prediction
England boast a great record at the Kennington Oval with seven wins in their last ten ODIs. Sri Lanka, too, have a good record at this venue with four wins in their last six games. Both have two wins each in the last four games that they have played here against each other. So both teams are pretty much neck-to-neck as far as records go. But England are slightly ahead when it comes to the current series. After pulling themselves out from the jaws of defeat in the first match, they left the Lankans heart-broken by chasing 254 inside 35 overs without losing a single wicket.
Sri Lanka are desperate for a fight back and they will come out with all their force and energy. But England should still be the favorites to win this match and take an unassailable 2-0 lead.
