AUS vs SL Super 12 Match 22 Predictions and Betting Tips

Australia and Sri Lanka will lock horns in the 22nd match which is a Super 12 Group 1 battle of the ICC World T20 2021. This AUS vs SL Super 12 game is going to be hosted at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on October 28, Thursday. Since this is a chance to make money, I have managed to handpick the top betting tips from the AUS vs SL Super 12 head-to-head encounter.

Australia and Sri Lanka have kick-started their ICC World T20 2021 campaign with respective victories. Needless to say, both teams are a part of the group of death for this edition of the ICC World T20. Australia got past the South Africa challenge in their first game and won it by 5 wickets. Marcus Stoinis and Matthew Wade made sure that they got over the line in the end.

Sri Lanka, on the other hand, have now won four matches in a row ever since their start of the ICC World T20 2021 journey. The Dasun Shanaka-led side has been on a roll and are in tremendous form. The Lankans breezed past Bangladesh and chased down a big total of 172 runs with more than one over to spare and that too on a Sharjah pitch. Australia are not going to find it easy against Sri Lanka but I am here to make sure that you take home some easy money tomorrow when Australia and Sri Lanka lock horns.

AUS vs SL Player Bets:

Matches such as these produce a lot of markets but the odds for the team bets are quite low. In that case you will not be able to make a lot of money from them. Therefore I am having to rely on the player bets from the AUS vs SL World T20 head-to-head encounter.

Steve Smith to score over 21.5 runs

Steve Smith is going to be my first pick from the player rack and I believe the oddsmakers have produced a wonderful target through which we can make a lot of money. Smith might not be an ideal T20 batsman as his strike rate hovers around that 110-120 mark but his consistency is what I am looking for. Overall, this ‘Fab Four’ specialist has featured in 218 T20 games and has scored 4625 runs at an average of 30.42.

His last five scores - 35, 57, 35, 9 and 39 are glaring proofs of his consistency that I mentioned earlier. He has played 7 matches against Sri Lanka and has 124 runs at an average of 31.00. Under the captaincy of Aaron Finch, Smith has an average of 34.18 with the bat. His average is even better in the second match of any series or competition (38.71). Dafabet is offering odds of 1.87 for Steven Smith to score over 21.5 runs in the AUS vs SL World T20 match prediction.

Glenn Maxwell to score over 20.5 runs

Next up is one of Australia’s most prolific hitters in the squad - Glenn Maxwell. This Australian all-rounder has been in superb form with the bat and is coming into this ICC World T20 2021 on the back of a fantastic IPL. Maxwell managed to pile on 513 runs at an average of 42.75 in the IPL 2021 season for Royal Challengers Bangalore. The destructive right hander has scored four half-centuries in his last 8 T20 knocks as well!

His record against Sri Lanka in T20 internationals is simply unbelievable! Maxi (as he is popularly known as) has played 6 matches (4 innings to be precise) and has racked up 281 runs at a jaw-dropping average of 109.50. His last three scores against Sri Lanka are as follows - 62, 66 and 145*, which is also his career highest total in T20 cricket! Dafabet is offering odds of 1.87 for Glenn Maxwell to score over 20.5 runs in the AUS vs SL World T20 match prediction.

Pathum Nissanka to score over 17.5 runs

Last but not the least, I have one of the Sri Lankan opening batsman Pathum Nissanka as my final pick from the Australia vs Sri Lanka game! So far this lad has played only 8 T20I matches and in 7 innings he has 171 runs under his belt at an average of 242. His overall average with the bat in T20 cricket is 28.10. In his last five T20 knocks, Nissanka has scored over 17.5 runs thrice and in fact, he has two 50-plus scores as well.

In the United Arab Emirates, Nissanka has played 4 matches so far in this edition of the ICC World T20 and has 90 runs against his name at an average of 22.50. In the second game of any series or competition, Nissanka has a batting average of 37.00. While opening the batting for Sri Lanka, he has been maintaining an average of 22.00. Dafabet is offering odds of 1.87 for Pathum Nissanka to score over 17.5 runs in the AUS vs SL World T20 match prediction.
