ENG vs IND Today Match Prediction, 2nd Test, 12th August 2021

KhelTalk is the only destination that brings you the finest today’s match prediction that you can trust. We are here for ENG vs. IND Today Match Prediction, 2nd Test, Online Cricket Betting Tips, which will provide every user with a clear picture of which team and in what aspect they can place their bets.

England

England was lucky enough to draw the 1st match. If the rain hadn’t come surely England was more likely to lose the match. England won the toss and their old top-order woes continued. Rory Burns was the first one to get out in the very first over. It was only Joe Root who was comfortable against the fierce Indian bowling lineup. They were bundled out for just 183 runs in the first innings and it was the main reason behind their whole match’s struggle

England has added Moeen Ali in their squad for Lord’s test match and is likely to slot into playing XI as England went ahead with zero spinners in 1st match which could’ve backfired them in 4th innings. He might replace Lawrence after his continuous failure against seamers and Haseeb Hameed might be given the nod ahead of Dominic for opening the innings as he is going through a lean patch.

Pressure is on England after many legends criticized players like Jos Buttler and Johnny Bairstow for not adapting to red-ball cricket. Let’s see if England will go into the 2nd test match with a different approach or their struggle with the bat continues.

Joe Root has won 12 man-of-the-match awards in his Test career which is the most among active cricketers.
Joe Root has now scored 6 test centuries against India.
Johnny Bairstow has an average of just 28.25 against India.

Top Batsmen of England in 1st match

Joe Root- 173 runs with 109 highest
Johnny Bairstow– 59 runs with 30 highest
Sam Curran- 59 runs with 32* highest

Top Bowlers of England in 1st match

Ollie Robinson- 5 wickets at 21.20 average
James Anderson- 4 wickets at 16.50 average
Stuart Broad- 1 wicket at 88.00 average

India

India was unlucky to not win the first Test as rain on the final day spoiled their dreams. In the 1st Test match, India was the better side from day one. The batting was good and bowling was very impressive as well. India will now play 2nd match against England at Lord’s where they were comprehensively beaten in the 2018 tour. India is unlikely to make changes as Virat Kohli has already said the 1st match XI will be the template for the whole series.

The resurgence of Jasprit Bumrah and KL Rahul was the biggest positive for Virat. Jasprit Bumrah claimed his first five-wicket haul after almost 2 years. Kl Rahul also scored a composed 80 odd runs while opening the innings which is a huge plus as the opening spot was the biggest question for Virat before the first test. India will be a more confident side going into the 2nd test match as India was the favorite to win the match if Rain didn’t come on the final day.

Jasprit Bumrah’s bowling average is 22.29 against England.
Ravindra Jadeja has scored most fifties (5) against England and averages 33.41 against them
Ajinkya Rahane has the worst batting average (23.74) against England.

Top Batsmen of India in 1st match

KL Rahul- 110 runs with 84 highest
Ravindra Jadeja- 56 runs with 56 highest
Rohit Sharma- 48 runs with 36 highest

Top Bowlers of India in 1st match

Jasprit Bumrah- 9 wickets at 12.22 average
Shardul Thakur- 4 wickets at 19.50 average
Mohammad Shami- 4 wickets at 25.00 average

Weather Report

The weather will be sunny on almost 5 days except on the 3rd day a slow shower is expected.

Clouds are likely to come around sometimes but there are no significant chances of rain on other days except for the 3rd day.

Pitch Report

From the photos leaked on social media, Lord’s pitch is likely to be greener and support seamers. Lord’s has been traditionally both batting and bowling even pitch. In the last match here when Pakistan and England faced each other then spinners played a major role from the 3rd day and Moeen Ali’s inclusion hints that there would be something for spinners as well on this pitch. Captains will look to bat first after winning the toss as batting in 4th innings will be tough.

ENG vs IND– Who will win the match, Today Match Prediction:

India is expected to win the match against England

KhelTalk experts feel that India will win against England in the 2nd test match. India was the more dominant side from ball one in the 1st match and England was always caught on backfoot. Apart from Joe Root, no other batsmen looked comfortable against Indian seamers which are going to be again decisive in the 2nd test match. England bowling also struggled against Indian batters, although any Indian batsmen didn’t score big runs but it was a collective effort from Indian batters. Pitch is likely to be greener again and we expect India to get better of England and win this match.

Popular Betting Odds For ENG vs IND, 2nd Test, Today Match Prediction, Cricket Betting Tips

Top Batsman from India – Virat Kohli (3.00 Odds)

Virat Kohli was dismissed for a golden duck in the first match. His dismissal might give a Déjà vu of his struggle against James Anderson in 2014. Virat Kohli is a tough competitor and he would be raring to go in the 2nd match and again silence his critics.

The 4th,5th stump line was a big problem for Virat back in the day but now he has rectified his issues. After a disastrous 2014, he came back with a bang on the 2018 tour and finished as the top scorer with 593 runs. Indian middle-order again collapsed in 1st match and hopes will be on Virat to again take the center stage. He is our pick for best batsman from India.

Top Batsman from England – Joe Root (3.00 Odds)

Joe Root again smashed a test century against India in the last match. Joe Root loves playing against India and has 6 centuries to his name. In 1st innings, he looked comfortable but was caught right in front of stumps by Shardul but in 2nd innings, he looked indifferent touch. His shots were quite elegant and classy. Root scored a joyful 109 runs with flurries of boundaries.

He was the only English batter to look comfortable against fierce Jasprit Bumrah and their battle is likely to go on throughout the series. The root is a modern-day great and has been in scintillating form and can give you good returns. He is our pick for best batsman from England.

Top Bowler from India – Jasprit Bumrah (3.25 Odds)

Jasprit Bumrah looked back to his best and struck the early blow to England in his very first over of the match. Bumrah was consistent and sharp with his line and length. No England batter had the answer against his inswinging balls.

He took 9 wickets in the match and claimed his first 5 wicket haul after almost 2 years. India decided to drop Ishant Sharma for the 1st match and responsibility was on Bumrah’s shoulder to lead the lineup and he did that perfectly well. He will be the first time playing a test match on Lord’s and would definitely want to get his name on the honors board through a match-winning performance. He is our pick for best bowler from India.

Top Bowler from England– James Anderson (2.62 Odds)

James Anderson surpassed Anil Kumble in all-time test wickets tally and is now on his way to write his supremacy. Anderson was again England’s best bowler in the 1st match. He looked fit and very accurate with his lines. His partner in crime Stuart Broad looked a bit rusty but this legend looked in a different mode. India was going well in the 1st innings with Rohit and Rahul had built a partnership of 90 runs.

England needed a hero and Anderson again came to the rescue. After Robinson dismissed Rohit, Anderson took back-to-back wickets of Pujara and King Kohli on consecutive balls which led to England’s comeback. Anderson is now playing at his favorite cricket ground and again would look to repeat the heroics of the 2018 Lord’s test match against India. He is a mandatory pick and can give you big returns.
