England vs Australia Ashes 2023 4th Test Betting Tips

Top England batter: Ben Stokes

The English skipper Ben Stokes is leading from the front. The middle-order batter has churned out some good performances in the five-match Test series so far and is occupying the top place in the list of the most runs for the England team. In six innings, the veteran batter has smacked 309 runs at an average of over 51. Ben Stokes was not much influential in the first Test as he ended up scoring only one and 43 runs respectively. He continued his poor performance in the first batting innings of the second Test as well and got dismissed at a score of 17 runs. However, the 32-year-old showed his exemplary skills in the final innings by hitting 155 runs off 214 runs. Though England lost that match by 43 runs, the captain was successful in stealing the limelight. The third Test also saw the skipper in good form as Stokes hit 80 runs in England’s batting innings. Therefore, the odds are high for the veteran to showcase his skills in the fourth Test match and level the five-match series by 2-2.

Top Australia batter: Usman Khawaja

Australia currently have an edge in the five-match Test series and a lot of credit for the same goes to Usman Khawaja. The opening batter has been absolutely sensational in Ashes 2023 with 356 runs in six matches at an average of over 59. He is ruling the run-scoring charts in the marquee event. Khawaja won the Player of the Match award in the first Test match for smacking a century in the second innings. His knock of 141 runs helped Australia in posting 386 runs in response to England’s 393. The opener was brilliant in the final innings as well and returned with a knock of 65 runs to ensure a win for his team. The next two matches also saw Khawaja in good form as he consistently contributed with the bat. Usman is also backed by his stunning international record. He has so far featured in 64 Test matches, scoring 4864 runs at an average of over 47 and a strike rate of over 49. The 36-year-old is one of the safest players to place your money on during the fourth Test match between England and Australia.
