Pakistan vs England Live Stream and Tips – Twenty20

February 22, 2012

So far on tour England has turned accepted wisdom on its head by being in turn abject in the test matches and brilliant in the ODIs, winning 4-0 in the process. Form which overall has made the punter’s lot a perilous business.

It’s the one-dayers that offer the better guide going into the three game T20 series though and I would expect the momentum to stay with Andy Flower’s men, who remain both number one in world and world champions in T20 cricket.

While the bowling looks strong on both sides – although England’s is probably the more balanced attack – it’s the batting, that looked so clueless against Pakistan in the tests, which should see England home. England are will be much boosted by Kevin Pietersen returning to form spectacularly with those back to back hundreds in the final two ODIs and boast more big hitting options throughout the order.

T20 games can swing on one over here or there, or a moment of individual brilliance, so I fancy Pakistan to find enough to win one game. I like the 2-1 England series scoreline on offer at 13/8 with Coral.

KP will probably bat at number three in the series, which will give him plenty of time to capitalise on his recent good form, so the standout 7/2 on offer at Ladbrokes for him to be top England series run scorer is well worth an investment (best priced 5/2 elsewhere).

There are some interesting match performance markets offered by Bet365 – players scoring 1 point per run, 20 for a wicket, 10 catch and 25 for a stumping. Craig Kieswetter can match the 37 and over at Evens, and Stuart Broad the 29 and over at 5/6.
