LKA vs WI 3rd ODI match prediction 1 Mar 2020
Having already won the three-match series, Sri Lanka would be looking for a whitewash after clinical performances in the first two matches. ‘So close yet so far’ – has been the case with the West Indies’ squad, especially in the past few months. Having lost yet another series, a win is the only consolation for Pollard and Co. But, for us, we have lots to win, a lot of cash. How?
I have handpicked the best odds from the market, just go through them and invest accordingly. I am sure you won’t regret because there’s guaranteed
West Indies’ hopes rest on Shai Hope
I hope you wouldn’t even doubt why I have picked up this bet after the Barbarian's exploits in One-Day Internationals in the past one year or so. For starters let me inform you that in the 2019-20 season, the wicket-keeper batsman has played 11 matches, scored a total of 611 runs at an average of 82.62 runs, having reached the fifty-run mark twice and three figures on as many occasions. Not to forget, he was the third-highest run-scorer in ODI cricket for the calendar year 2019. But, these are some of the known facts that you might have known by now. But what really makes him stand out for this bet?
The right-hander always brings out the best in him when he plays in the Indian subcontinent and his numbers are unbelievable. Having played 16 matches in Asia, Hope has managed to score a gargantuan 1164 runs at a rate of 116.40 runs per innings including six centuries and four fifties. In the last two matches of this series, he has scored a century and a fifty and was the top batter for his side in each of those matches. I don’t mind taking a risk on Shai Hope for the upcoming match.
At least 30 to be scored by Avishka Fernando
Avishka Fernando may not have been a very smart pick for this market, because he has been inconsistent throughout his career. But his records against West Indies coupled with home conditions tilts the case on the other side. Having played only three matches against the West Indies, his scores were – 127, 50, 104, having scored 281 runs at a rate of 93.66 runs per innings. That’s incredible, isn’t it? But that’s just one half of the story. Wait till I stuff you with more stats, which is going to give you more clarity about this matter.
In Sri Lanka, the youngster has played just six matches, in which he scored a century and two fifties. Even if we go through at his ODI stats (overall), the southpaw has maintained an average of 36.70 runs per innings, which gives us a head start for this particular bet. In bilateral series’ he maintains an average of a shade over 32 runs per innings, having crossed the 29-run mark in four of the last eight matches played at home. Hope you have made up your mind by now.
Alzarri Joseph to shine with the ball
Well, Sheldon Cottrell has by far been the most successful bowler for the West Indies’ in the past year, but his form in the past few matches has been a shade less than his compatriot Alzarri Joseph. In the last five matches, Joseph has taken a total of 14 wickets at a rate of almost three wickets per match and was the pick of the bowlers in three of those matches. What’s remarkable about his record is that he has managed to bring out the best out of him when playing away from home.
Having played just seven matches away from home, the speedster has managed to pick up a total of 15 wickets at a rate of more than two wickets per match, which is incredible. He was the pick of the bowlers in three of those matches. There’s no way we can ignore this bet, which offers 4.5 times the investment. What are you waiting for? Just place this bet as quickly as possible.
