After his heroics in England’s 7-wicket victory in the 2nd ODI scoring an unbeaten 105, England’s Paul Collingwood is 9/2 to be England’s top batsman in the 3rd ODI and it’s 5/6 he outscores South Africa’s Jean-Paul Duminy. Following Collingwood’s century, it’s 7/4 for any batsman to reach three figures tomorrow.
Stuart Broad, who missed the two Twenty20 internationals and the first two one-dayers due to a shoulder injury, is expected to make a return tomorrow. It’s 8/11 for 23-year-old to take two or more wickets in the 3rd ODI (evens 0 or 1 wicket). It’s 5/1 for any player to take a five-wicket haul and it’s 3/1 that the team batting first gets bowled out.
Sky Bet’s cricket betting spokesman Tim Reynolds said: “The return of Broad will be a massive boost for the England camp. He is ranked as the 15th best bowler in world cricket according to the official player ratings and has impressive ODI figures of 88 wickets from 55 matches, at an average of 26.59. If he does get selected, then he will certainly give the England bowling attack the boost it needs”
With four of the English team born in South Africa, Sky Bet are offering odds on who will be the top South African-born English cricketer in the 3rd ODI. Jonathan Trott, who hit 87 in the 2nd ODI, is the 2/1 joint favourite along with Kevin Pietersen. It’s 9/4 for the England captain Andrew Strauss to be the top batsman and 5/1 Matt Prior.
England are 11/8 to come away from Newlands victorious (4/7 South Africa) and it’s 13/8 they go on to claim the five-match series (5/2 South Africa & 5/4 Draw).
