Adelaide Strikers to score under 20.5 runs before 1st dismissal

Adelaide Strikers have won all but one of their matches so far this season to position themselves at the top of the table. However, their fortune at the top hasn't been the same. AS have struggled to provide a strong start to their innings this season. They posted scores of 0, 9, 20, 2 & 5 runs before the fall of the first wicket in the last five matches. This totals to 36 runs from five matches averaging at 7.20 per game for the first wicket. This number works rightly in favour of this betting tip, thus making it a strong and a safe one for this game. In every single match, barring one, over the five game period, Adelaide Strikers posted single digit scores before the first fall. This entails a 80% efficiency of AS to score under 20.5 runs before the first fall in this game. Although opener M Short is having a fantastic season thus far scoring over 161 runs from four matches at an average of 40.25. J Weatherald has been the weak link out of the two openers. He has thrown his wicket first on three out four occasions this season. Weatherald has only scored 18 runs and is averaging close to 4.50 this season. Although AS have averaged close to 43.40 vs PS in their last five head-to-head clashes, they have found it difficult to replicate the same this season. Considering all this, we have backed Adelaide Strikers to score under 20.5 runs before the fall of the first wicket in this game. 1XBET has offered odds of 1.91 in AS’s favour from the PS vs AS match prediction.

PS vs AS Player Bet:

We have chosen Faf Du Plessis as our top player betting tip from the PS vs AS head-to-head contest. Take a look!

Faf du Plessis to score over 23.5 runs

What Faf du Plessis has done in his T20 career can’t be put to mere words and not seen with a class of reverence. When he played for Chennai Super Kings, the former South African skipper made a legend for himself with regular bursts of performance but his overall performance tells a story of sheer pragmatism. His average of 31.13 with a strike rate of 131.40 in his 314-match T20 career tells you the kind of batter he is in the shortest format of the game. Since 2018, in every single calendar year, he has averaged above 35, making sure consistency is his biggest forte. His importance can be understood from the fact that he has an average of 35.05 in wins since his T20 debut with a very clear understanding of what works and what doesn’t for his batting. The former South African skipper averages 37.31 in the powerplay, 37.8 in the middle overs and 32.94 in the death overs - almost maintaining the equanimity thus giving us hope that success is the only way forward for him in the ongoing edition of the Big Bash League. So far this season, Du Plessis has played just three matches and has scored over 114 runs at an average of about 38.00. While playing for St Lucia Kings in the recently concluded season of CPL, Faf hammered 332 runs from 10 games at an average of about 41.50. With our affiliate partner 1XBET providing odds of 1.832 for Faf du Plessis to score over 23.5 runs in this PS vs AS encounter, don’t shoot yourself away.
