The visitors were roundly beaten by the hosts in the final ODI match in Colombo and although the tourists take the series 3-1, going into the 2018 Sri Lanka England 1st test odds are the home team are a little more optimistic, even if they are only getting 9/5 to win their first encounter at BetRally, one of the best online betting sites in Sri Lanka right now. After all, the English side gets 33/20 which is almost insulting given just how much better they should be as a team.

1st Test Odds

Sri Lanka – 9/5

England – 33/20

Draw – 23/10

“Our fielding was extremely poor,” Admitted England captain Eoin Morgan after the worst loss for the side in ODI history. Having given away 366 for 6 Morgan, who’d left himself out of the side, had watched as his team barely got 132 for 9. The rain at the end of the day bringing Duckworth-Lewis to bear, but to little significance, the 2018 Sri Lanka England 1st test odds already adjusting to this new evident fragility of English cricket, especially in their mindset. “Our attitude? Very poor.” Agreed Morgan. “And that has to be addressed. We didn’t take our game forward, actually, there are areas where it went backwards.” Which under the circumstance can only be seen as massive understatement. The reason the 2018 Sri Lanka England 1st test odds aren’t far more favorable to the visitors is that they looked like a bunch of amateurs, and made taking advantage of Sri Lankan gambling laws to back them a riskier bet.

England Fall To Worst ODI Loss Ever

“We are a young team, we keep improving.” Said a satisfied Dinesh Chandimal, “We need to put in consistent performances going forward. Consistency is the main thing and that is what we are looking at. It has been hard work from everyone. Finally it paid off.” The question being will it translate into the longer game? Certainly the bookies seem to worry it might, that 9/5 price they garner way shorter than you’d reasonably expect 2018 Sri Lanka England 1st test odds to be now.

It’ll have been the useful performances from Dickwella and Sadeera, who put on 137 before Kusal Mendis decided to put an end to his dire recent form and smack 56 off 33 balls, including a fab six sixes, that’ll worry the bookies, especially as Rajitha and Chameera demolished the visitors at the crease so easily, that’s why the 2018 Sri Lanka England 1st test odds only give the better side that 33/20 chance, and if you like to bet on sports in Sri Lanka that’s an opportunity.
