Betting notes
How to bet on IND vs AUS 2nd Test
Four angles worth weighing before you place a bet on this fixture.
- 01
In a Test, the match moves session by session. Session-runs and next-wicket markets on India vs Australia react faster than the overall result line.
- 02
If India vs Australia turns early, in-play markets such as next-over runs and method of dismissal give you another way in without chasing the headline price.
- 03
The previous result is already in India's price. If you think the market has overreacted, the exchange lets you take the other side at 49%.
- 04
On a dry / spin pitch, look at the middle overs. Partnership and fall-of-wicket markets tend to beat pre-toss prices once the spinners come on.
