ZIM vs IND Player Bets:

Shubman Gill, Innocent Kaia and Jonny Bairstow are my ಌtop three player betting tips for the ENG vs IND 3rd ODI. Have a look at it for reaping the best returns.

Shubman Gill to score over 40.5 runs

India opener Shubman Gill has been in terrific touch ever since making his comeback in the India ODI squad. After playing his last ODI match in December 2020, Gill was picked for the 3-match ODI series against West Indies. He scored 64 runs in the first match and followed it up with scores of 43 and 98 not out in the second and third match respectively. In the first ODI against Zimbabwe in Harare on Thursday, the 22-year-old was off to a slow start but ended up scoring unbeaten 82 runs off 72 balls as India won the match by 10 wickets. The youngster has stitched four century partnerships with his opening partner Shikhar Dhawan in his last four outings. Gill was also the fifth highest run-scorer in the IPL 2022. He scored 483 runs in 16 matches at an average of 34.50 and strike rate of 132.32. The right-hand batter has played seven ODIs till date and scored 336 runs at an average of 67.20. In the 62 List A matches he has played, he has scored 2600 runs at an average of 49.05. Riding high on confidence and form, Gill has all the chances in the world to score over 40 runs in the second ODI on Saturday. If you feel the same, head over to 1XBET and grab the odds of 1.832 for Shubman Gill to score over 40.5 runs from the ZIM vs IND 2nd ODI head-to-head encounter.

Innocent Kaia to score over 20.5 runs

Zimbabwe opener Innocent Kaia was dismissed for four runs off 20 balls in the first ODI against India on Thursday. The 30-year-old found survival difficult against the excellent opening burst from Mohammed Siraj and Deepak Chahar. However, we expect him to score over 20.5 runs in the second ODI. The 50-over format is where Kaia has been most successful in his 18-match career for Zimbabwe. In the seven ODI matches Kaia has played, he has scored 249 runs at an average of 35.57. He has one hundred and a fifty to his name in the format. The hundred came against a higher-ranked opposition in Bangladesh on August 5. Kaia has an experience of playing in 54 List A matches where he has scored 1345 runs at an average of 26.37. He has three hundreds and five List A fifties to his name. The 30-year-old in all probability can score over 20 runs if he plays watchfully in the starting few overs. If you feel the same, head over to 1XBET and grab the odds of 1.832 for Innocent Kaia to score over 20.5 runs from the ZIM vs IND 2nd ODI head-to-head encounter.

Sikandar Raza to score under 40.5 runs

The Zimbabwe stalwart scored back-to-back to unbeaten hundreds against Bangladesh and helped his team in attaining a 2-0 unassailable lead at the start of the month. He was dismissed for a duck in the dead rubber third ODI. A lot was expected from the 36-year-old in the first ODI against India but he got out after scoring 17-ball 12. Scoring over 40 runs will again be a difficult task for the Pakistan-born cricketer. There is no doubt on his capabilities and calibre but scoring against a very talented India bowling attack would not be easy. Despite the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and others, India have the likes of Deepak Chahar, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav in their arsenal. In 2022, Raza scored 484 runs in 10 ODI matches at an average of 60.50. However, these runs have come against oppositions like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan who are ranked seventh, eighth and tenth in the ICC ODI rankings for teams. Overall, he has scored 3495 runs in 118 matches at an average of 36.78. He has five hundreds and 20 fifties to his name in the format. In the 11 ODI matches against India, he scored 257 runs at an average of 23.36. Raza will be up for another tough test on Saturday.
