IND vs ENG Betting Tips

  • India have outplayed England in the previous two tests and they will be coming in this match with a lot of confidence.
  • England have lost Haseeb Hameed to injury and this will further deplete an already struggling batting lineup.
  • The Indian spin trio of Ashwin, Jadeja and Yadav are in threatening form and they will find assistance on this wicket.

India are favourites to win

Hosts Heavy Favorites to Seal the Series at Mumbai

India have attained an unassailable 2-0 lead in the ongoing five-match test series and have made sure that they cannot possibly lose the series from here. England on the other hand know that they need nothing less than a win in the next match to stay alive in the series and will look to give their all. The fourth test begins from December 8 at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai with live action scheduled to start at 9:30 AM local time.

Toss

The last two tests at the Wankhede were won by the side batting second. But regardless of this fact, neither team will want to bat fourth on what could be a rank turner. The ball is expected to turn viciously from day four and so the team that wins the toss on Thursday is highly likely to bat first. We see the Indian spinners wreaking havoc on the English batsmen in the fourth innings which is why we don't suggest betting on the tourists if they are batting second.

India Team News & Playing 11

Team News

Parthiv Patel will retain his place as regular wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha is not 100% fit from the thigh niggle. KL Rahul has recovered and will join Murali Vijay at the opening position which means Patel will bat in the middle order in place of Karun Nair. Ishant Sharma has been released from the squad and there won’t be any replacement for him.

Key Players

With Ajinkya Rahane struggling to get some runs under his belt, Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara seem to be India's best chance with the bat. Pujara has two hundreds from two matches at this ground and we predict him to top-score for the team. Ravichandran Ashwin is the leading wicket-taker for India in this series. He has 18 wickets from three tests here and is expected to make life difficult for the English batters.

Recent Form

India's eight-wicket win over England in the last game was their seventh win in the ten test matches they have played this year. The remaining three were drawn which means they haven't lost a test this year. However, they have not been dominating at the Wankhede where they have won just three out of their previous seven matches. They faced defeats in four of these while one ended in a draw.

IND Predicted XI

  • M Vijay, KL Rahul, CA Pujara, V Kohli (c), AM Rahane, PA Patel (wk), R Ashwin, RA Jadeja, J Yadav, UT Yadav and Mohammed Shami.

England Team News & Playing 11

Team News

Opening batsman Haseeb Hameed and left-arm spinner Zafar Ansari have been ruled out of the remainder of the tour due to injuries. Uncapped players Keaton Jennings and Liam Dawson have been named as the respective replacements and the former has been confirmed of a test debut. Paceman Stuart Broad has recovered from foot injury and is likely to make a comeback.

Key Players

Skipper Alastair Cook hit a century the last time he batted at this ground and we can expect another big innings from him in this match. Joe Root has scored the most runs so far in this series and he will be vital to England's hopes with the bat. The Indian batsmen have found Adil Rashid the most difficult to deal with and we predict the legspinner to bring his wicket-taking form into this match.

Recent Form

England's defeat in the last game was their third loss in four games. They have just one win from their past six tests and that too came against Bangladesh. So the team has been struggling in the longest format lately and they will need to put in some more effort to get back on the winning track.

ENG Predicted XI

  • AN Cook (c), Keaton Jennings, JE Root, MM Ali, JM Bairstow (wk), BA Stokes, JC Buttler, Stuart Broad, AU Rashid, GJ Batty and JM Anderson.

 

Ind vs Eng Head-to-Head in Tests

The two teams have now played a total of 115 red-ball games with each other and it is England who boast a superior record. They have won 43 of these matches while India have won 23. The rest have all resulted in draw. Neither have an advantage in terms of head-to-head stats at the Wankhede with both winning three each out of the seven games. The most recent two have been won by the visitors.

Ind vs Eng 4th Test Betting Odds

England recorded wins the last two times they faced India at this ground (once in 2006 and then in 2012). However, they are being outplayed by the hosts in this series and it will be very tough for them to make a strong comeback from here on. They are distant outsiders for this match at 5.00 with both 1xbet and bet365.

India have a sorted out team combination and are enjoying a good streak of wins at home which makes them overwhelming favorites to win this one at 1.56 with betfair and 1.50 with bet365.

A draw is up at 5.39 and 5.50 respectively. Since ten of the past twelve tests at this venue have produced results, a draw seems to be the least likely outcome.

Ind vs Eng 4th Test Prediction

Toss always plays a major role in sub-continent conditions in deciding the outcome of a five-day game. If India win the toss, bat first and post something around 400, they will gain an early advantage and will be in a position from where their spinners can dictate terms to the English batsmen. However if the toss goes the other way round and England are able to make the most of the batting conditions, it will give them a good chance of exerting pressure on the home team just like they did in the first test.

But there have been far too many injury concerns for them since the start of the tour and with the in-form Hameed out of the picture and Woakes doubtful for this match, it becomes difficult to see them win anytime soon.

Final Verdict: We recommend betting on India to win this match.
