The fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy kicks off at The Oval on Thursday, July 31. Here are the latest odds for the game.
Ahead of the series finale, the inaugural Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy is still up for grabs, for the hosts at least. A dramatic draw at Old Trafford last week saw India hang on to keep the scoreline at 2-1 after four Tests.
5th Test, England vs India
vs
It would be no mean feat for this young outfit to come away from England with a drawn series, but in order to do so they will have to win the fifth Test in London, an even bigger ask now that they will be without wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant, and likely without pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah.
Both sides are almost certain to see changes among their pace-bowling units after a gruelling outing in Manchester, and a short turnaround time before this Test.
England v India, 5th Test at The Oval: Who will win?
Recommended Trade: Buy England 25:10 @13-14.5
This trade from Spread Ex awards 25 points towards the winning side and ten points if the match is drawn. Should India win, the spread settles at zero and the better trade is likely buying England in this one.
There are a couple of points against this; for example, England lost the Oval Test to Sri Lanka last year, after Pathum Nissanka's spectacular century. In addition, India beat England in the sides' last face-off at this venue in 2021.
But England have won the other five Tests played at this venue since 2017, against South Africa and Australia twice each, and India once. India will also be missing two key players for the upcoming game – Jasprit Bumrah will likely miss the game as part of his workload management, whilst the mercurial Rishabh Pant will be unavailable following his injury at Old Trafford.
An England win would see buyers win 9.5x their stake, a draw loses 4.5x their stake and an India win would result in a loss of 14.5x the stake.
