Karachi Kings will host Lahore Qalandars in Match No. 26 of the ongoing 2020 Pakistan Super League at the National Stadium, in Karachi this Thursday evening.

With just a few points separating the five teams apart from Multan Sultans (at the top), stakes are high in each and every match and Thursday’s showdown is not an exception. With explosive batsman like Alex Hales on one side and Ben Dunk on the other, fireworks are expected in Karachi. Apart from helping their teams, the players concerned can also help us winning a lot of cash and inflate our wallet by the end of the game.

I have scanned through the market and handpicked the best bets for you and listed them below. All you need to do is, go through them and invest in them. Trust me, you are not going to regret, the returns are going to be huge.

At least seven sixes expected from Lahore Qalandars

Moving out of the conventional ones, this is a profitable bet and Lahore Qalanadars have the firepower to win us some money, with odds as high as 1.72 on offer. In the last five matches, the Qalandars have hit a total of 45 maximums at an average of nine per game and managed to clear the ropes at least seven times on four occasions. Overall, they have managed to register a total of 66 sixes in eight matches, maintaining an average of 8.25 strikes per game. It’s why, there’s no reason to believe that the Qalandars are going to hit anything less than seven sixes.

To validate my point to a more favourable extent, let me tell you that Ben Dunk, the highest six hitter this season with 23 strikes in six innings so far (almost four per innings), plays for the Lahore-based side. In the last H2H match between these two outfits, the Qalandars struck 14 maximums. There’s a lot of money to be won from this deal, make sure you invest as soon as possible.

Karachi Kings to hit quite a few boundaries

If Lahore Qalandars specialises in hitting sixes, Karachi Kings reigns supreme when it comes to playing along the ground. In their last five matches this season, they’ve accumulated a total of 75 fours at a rate of 15 per innings and managed to score at least 14 three of those matches. In the two matches that the Kings have played in their own backyard, they have managed to register a total of 30 boundaries, hitting at least 14 in as many games. Bet 365’s offer of 1.80 times the investment isn’t a bad offer at all, and especially with the statistics I’ve mentioned above.

Even if you are still not convinced, let me help your case even more. The Karachi Kings have the likes of Babar Azam in their squad, who is the third highest boundary scorer in this season with a total of 29 hits in seven innings at a rate of over four per innings. Alex Hales, another clean hitter of the ball, has managed to find the ropes a total of 21 times this season, at a rate of 3.5 per game in six matches. With the artillery in their arsenal and with home conditions favouring them, this is a guaranteed bet which is going to make us even richer by the end of the match.

Karachi Kings’ bowlers to strike early

This is a trickier bet than the previous two, but don’t worry because I’ve got the remedy for it. From the Karachi Kings point of view, their bowlers have been able to strike early in most of the matches, which gives us a head start in the context of this bet. The score at which they have struck their first wicket in the last four matches – 2, 0, 2, 31, having conceded 22 runs or more on just one occasion. Incidentally, the three times they struck early, Mohammad Amir claimed the wickets. Now, that’s one side of the story.

On the flip side, the opening partnership of the Qalandars in their last four matches were – 50, 2, 27, 0, having scored north of 21 runs in two of the above mentioned occasions. In the last H2H matches played between these two teams, Qalandars first wicket fell when the scorecard had just 2 runs on it. Moreover, Mohammad Amir is the third wicket taker this season with 10 scalps to his name and the form he’s enjoyed with the new ball, means that there’s no doubt that he is going to strike early in the upcoming match. You cannot ignore this bet, can you?

Boundary on the way

Alex Hales to continue his good run at the PSL

I was more than surprised that Royal Panda actually offered odds of 1.87 for Alex Hales to score just 25 runs, especially after the way he has went about his business in 2020. In the five innings that he has played so far, the Englishman has managed to put on – 80, 49, 52, 29, and 29 runs respectively, accumulating a total of 239 runs at an average of 59.75 runs per innings. As visible, the explosive batsman has scored at least 25 runs in each of the above mentioned cases. Till now, there’s no reason to believe that he’s not going to win us money this Thursday evening.

Hales has been doing rounds in domestic T20 leagues for quite some time now and his recent stats are just impressive. In the 2019-20 Big Bash League, Hales played 17 matches for the Sydney Thunders and racked a massive 576 runs at an average of 38.40 runs per innings and was second highest run scorer in the league. Overall, he has played 257 matches and scored a gargantuan 7149 runs, maintaining an average of 30.29 runs per innings. There’s no way we can ignore this bet, I can sense victory on the other side.

Alex Hales to clear the ropes at least once

Yes, we are not done with Alex Hales yet, because he can win you more money than you can ever imagine. Already mentioned his exploits with the bat in the recent past, we are going to explore his big hitting skills for now. In the five innings he’s batted in this PSL, he’s hit a total of 12 sixes at a rate of over two per innings. Besides which, Hales has managed to strike a maximum once in every match. Consistently hitting sixes an art which the opening batsman has mastered and with odds of 1.66 listed against his name, money is easy to come by.

Even in the 2019-20 Big Bash League, Hales has managed to clear the ropes a total of 23 times in just 17 matches at an average of more than one six per game, which makes our case even stronger. Overall, in the 257 T20 matches he has played around the globe, the Brit has struck a total of 268 sixes at an impressive average of over one per game. I hope this deal is one of the safest in the market and it would be foolish to overlook the proposition.

Ben Dunk to score at least 21 runs

Ben Dunk has literally been the highlight in this season of the PSL so far and the way he’s played is absolutely brutal. In the six innings he’s played so far, the Australian has piled up a total of 257 runs at an astounding average of 64.25 runs per innings and has scored north of 20 a total of four times. If he manages to flex a few muscles against Karachi Kings, be assured that your bank balance is going to change for the good.

The 33-year old cricketer has featured in 132 T20s so far in his career, having scored a decent 3027 runs at a rate of 26.09 runs per innings which includes 17 half-centuries. The above stat proves that he’s been consistent in this format and backing his recent form, it is inevitable that he’s going to score at least 21 runs in the upcoming match. Don’t wait before it’s too late, just place the bet!
