3 Amazing Bets to Get your Tuesday Going
Cumilla Warriors have regained their belief of making it to the playoffs after winning two back-to-back matches against Chattogram Challengers and Sylhet Thunder. Currently, the Warriors are 5th on the points table (8 points) and are two points behind Khulna Tigers, who have lost two consecutive games. If the Warriors can register a big win over the weakest side of the tournament (Thunder), they actually can jump up to the fourth spot on the ladder. Thunder are coming into this fixture on the back of six consecutive losses and there’s nothing much to be said about them. Warriors are the clear favourite to win this fixture and so are you, just in case you were oblivious about the fact that you can make a lot of money from this match, I am just letting you know! So, let’s take you down that road:
Dawid Malan to be the top batsman for Cumilla Warriors @ 3.00
Dawid Malan has been sensational in this ongoing season of the Bangladesh Premier League having scored 377 in just eight matches at an average of 62.83 and he also has a century and two fifties under his belt. The hard-hitting batsman from England was the third highest run-getter in the Vitality Blast 2019 and also the highest for Middlesex, scoring 490 runs in 14 matches. Due to his wonderful run of form in the domestic T20 leagues, Malan got called up for the England international side and in four matches in the previous year, he scored 208 runs. The way he has gone on to play for the Warriors in this current season of the Bangladesh Premier League, it does not look like he is in any mood to stop. For Warriors to qualify for the playoffs, Malan will be crucial with his bat, therefore, Bet 365 is offering odds of 3.0 for the Englishman to be the top batsman. Worth taking a shot, I’d say.
Mujeeb ur Rahman to be the top team bowler for Cumilla Warriors @ 2.80
I won’t be beating around the bush and will come directly to the point - Mujeeb ur Rahman is your way to make a lot of money in this game and I am not even kidding! We are aware of the fact that Mujeeb is one of the most difficult bowlers to face in the shorter formats of the game and he is showing his class in the Bangladesh Premier League as well. In nine matches, Mujeeb has picked up 13 wickets at an average of 13.23 and as of now, he is the third highest wicket taker in the tournament. His figures – 4/12, 0/18, 1/25, 1/17, 2/22, 1/31, 2/25, 1/15 and 1/7 – speak volumes about his form and in three of these nine occasions, he has been the top team bowler for Cumilla Warriors. Bet 365 is offering odds of 2.80 for the crafty spinner from Afghanistan and the statistics are suggestive of the fact that the outcome is going to be similar.
Sylhet Thunder might be languishing at the bottom of the points table, but they have managed to hit quite a number of sixes, at least more than Cumilla Warriors. Sylhet Thunder have managed to hit 71 sixes in the ongoing season of the Bangladesh Premier League so far, while the Warriors have hit 65. In head to head encounters, both teams have hit 21 sixes in four matches they have clashed; so, you can see there is hardly anything between the two sides. But let me make this bet a little safer for you – Sylhet Thunder have a number of power hitters in their batting rank like Johnson Charles, Andre Fletcher, Sherfane Rutherford and Mohammad Mithun, who have accounted for 53 sixes. On the other hand, Dawid Malan and Dasun Shanaka have accounted for 28 sixes. Bet 365 is offering odds of 2.25 for Sylhet Thunder to hit more sixes in the game and the numbers giving a similar indication.
