Sylhet Thunder will take on Cumilla Warriors in match number 30 of the Bangladesh Premier League 2019-2020 edition at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Thursday.
The Bangladesh Premier League has shifted its action to Sylhet and the home side are all set to host Cumilla Warriors, who are only looking to inch closer to the top four in the points table. Sylhet have very little to lose and they can only salvage some pride when they will lock horns with Warriors. However, this game has all the elements to end up being a cracker of an encounter. And that is where I step in to make it even merrier for you and your bank balance. I will suggest you three top markets to bet on for this game and you just have to place your money on them and in no time you will see those returns in your account. Shall we start?
Dawid Malan to be top batsman for Cumilla Warriors @ 4.50
There is no iota of doubt about this market and if I were you, I would have actually taken the risk of putting in a good amount of cash for Dawid Malan. Considering his current run with his dreaded bat, there is no way one should give this bet a miss as Paddy Power is offering staggering odds of 4.50 for the English batsman. Malan is currently the highest run getter in this ongoing edition of the Bangladesh Premier League with 377 runs in just eight matches at an average of 62.83. He has a hundred and two half centuries to his name already and he does not want to stop there. He has the capability to push Warriors into the top half of the points table. After his antics in the Vitality Blast (490 runs in 14 matches at 40.83), England T20 International side (208 runs in four matches at 69.33) and the Abu Dhabi T10 League, the destructive batsman is here to make a mark!
Soumya Sarkar to be the top bowler for Cumilla Warriors @ 5.50
You must be wondering why on earth have I chosen Soumya Sarkar as the top team bowler for Warriors instead of the regular seamers or spinners! Believe it or not, Soumya Sarkar is the highest wicket taker for Warriors in this edition of the BPL! Can you believe that? No, right? Even I could not initially but the way he has chipped in with the ball for his side has left me with no choice but to choose him as the top bowler for Warriors. Sarkar has 11 wickets in eight matches at an average of 17.45 and has struck at a rate of 11.9. He is the fourth highest wicket taker in the league so far and there is no way that his display with the ball can be downplayed. His figures so far – 2/20, 1/18, 0/14, 1/29, 2/44, 1/16, 2/39 and 2/12 – shows that he has picked up a wicket in almost every game he has bowled and mostly it has been more than one scalp. Bet 365 is offering odds of 5.50 for Sarkar to be the top team bowler for Warriors and he has been the top team bowler in three occasions till now.
1st innings score to be under 168.5 @ 1.83
Sylhet Thunder and Cumilla Warriors have met only four times in the past and their average 1st innings total is 127.5. The two sides have collided twice at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium and there average 1st innings total is 106.5. Only once among the four occasions Warriors managed to post a total of 170 and that was back in 2017-18. These numbers are straightaway working in your favour and I believe you should not be wasting any more time reading this as Bet 365 is offering odds of 1.83 for the first innings total to be under 168.5.
You can either place individual bets on these markets or you can parlay them and place a bet of $1000 on all three at once and get yourself a golden chance to win a whopping $45292!
