Australia To Score Over 30.5 Runs Before 1st Dismissal

If you have followed my tip on the first ODI, you would have made some good bucks from this market. The Kangaroos have always been an indomitable force when it comes to assembling runs from their opening partnership. Openers, Travis Head and captain, Aaron Finch's 110 opening stand anchored Australia's 88-run victory over Pakistan in the first limited overs game to take a lead in the series. Heading into the second fixture of the series, we will yet again be backing Australia to do the bulk scoring from their opening partnership. In Australia's previous ODI series against West Indies, the Aussies had Josh Philippe and Ben McDermott opening for them to score 1, 51 and 10 runs respectively which totalled to 62 runs at an average of 20.6 runs per match.

The opening batsmen in the series were Imam-Ul-Haq and Fakhar Zaman who put together a total of 25 (21, 1 and 3) runs in their 3 games which averaged to 8.3 runs per match. Imam-Ul-Haq has been a consistent opener for the side. In the 2019 five match ODI series played between the two teams, Pakistan openers, Imam-ul-Haq and Shan Masood had built a partnership of 50 ( 35, 0, 14, 0 & 1)runs in their five games, while Usman Khawaja and Aaron Finch the Australian openers had stitched a massive 462( 63, 209, 0, 56 & 134) runs partnership.
