England v Pakistan betting tips: All to play for at Old Trafford

Moeen Ali, who made a cracking 36 as well as taking two wickets, deservedly gained the man of the match award and is 14/1 to win it again at Old Trafford.

Pakistan spun out

Pakistan’s bowlers were not up to their usual standard at Headingley – with Mohammad Hasnain the pick, taking 3-51 off of four overs – as England managed 200 all out from 19.5 overs.

Hasnain is 7/2 to be Pakistan’s top bowler this time with Shaheen Afridi, who took 1-28 off 3.5 overs, the 11/4 market leader.

Pakistan are 11/8 to win the match according to the the England v Pakistan betting tips and it is 25/1 that the match ends in a tie.

England’s top trio of spinners did the damage at Headlingley, defending what looked an achievable target given the ground’s historical bias towards the team batting first.

Adil Rashid, opening the bowling with his googlies, took 2-30 off four overs. Moeen chipped in with 2-32 off three and Matt Parkinson, bowling super-slow leg-breaks and turning the ball sharply, took 1-25 off his four.

Mohammad Rizwan, who looked good in smashing a valuable 63 in Pakistan’s 31-run win at Trent Bridge on Friday, was in decent nick again, top-scoring with 37 at Headingley before being caught and bowled by Rashid. Rizwan is 11/4 to be top scorer again.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam, who top-scored for Pakistan on Friday with 85 from 49 balls, chipped in with 22 at Headlingley and is 7/4 to be their top batsman this time.

However, Pakistan fell short, managing 155-9 in their run-chase.

If anyone is looking for form before the World Cup, it’s Dawid Malan, who has managed just one run in each of the two T20s against Pakistan. He is 7/2 to be England’s top run scorer.

Both sides will hope to get their innings off to a flying start. Pakistan managed seven for no loss at Headingly while England were 11-1 after their first over.

It is 4/6 that England score over 5.5 runs in their first over at Old Trafford and 4/5 that Pakistan score more than 5.5 from their first.
