It's been eight months since the last match of the 2020 Pakistan Super League was played, with the pandemic forcing an abrupt halt to the tournament. Now, we are back again, with the playoffs around the corner. Lahore Qalandars will lock horns with Peshawar Zalmi at the National Stadium, in Karachi for Eliminator 1 this Saturday night.

To double the fun, I have assorted the top three bets winning player bets for you and listed them below. Just go through my analysis and invest strategically to win loads of money by the end of the game.

Tamim Iqbal to score over 22.5 runs @ 1.83 (Bet 365)

Having played all of his Pakistan Super League career for Peshawar Zalmi, Tamim Iqbal will be up against his former team, shifting loyalties to Lahore Qalandars. In the last three T20Is he has featured in, the southpaw registered scores of 41, 65, 39, having amassed 145 runs, at a rate of 48.33 runs per innings, having made at least 23 runs in each of those games. Even in the 2019-20 Bangladesh Premier League, the batsman had accumulated a total of 396 runs, at a rate of 39.60 runs per innings, having scored north of 22 runs in eight of those matches.

Having played 17 matches in his PSL career so far, Iqbal has scored an impressive 522 runs, averaging 40.15 runs per innings, which also supports our case. In the last five PSL matches he played in, his scores were - 27, 37 n.o, 36, 11, 39, having racked up 150 runs, at a rate of 37.5 runs per innings, having made at least 23 runs in four of those matches. In 207 T20 matches, the Bangladeshi has scripted 5793 runs, maintaining an average of 30.98 runs per innings. I hope you have placed the bet by now, cause this looks like a winner.

Fakhar Zaman to score over 23.5 runs @ 1.83 (Bet 365)

One of Pakistan's top limited-overs batsman, Fakhar Zaman has improved a lot in the past couple of years, with him expected to score runs and bring us money in the upcoming match. The last T20 tournament he featured in was the 2020 National T20 Cup, during which he scored 420 runs in 12 matches, at a rate of 35 runs per innings, having made at least 24 runs in seven of those matches. The southpaw averages 26.62 runs per innings in the 37 PSL matches he has played so far, which makes the case more obvious.

In the 2020 Pakistan Super League, Fakhar has scored 246 runs in 9 matches, at a rate of 27.33 runs per innings. Having played 66 T20 matches in Pakistan, the explosive batsman has accumulated a total of 1901 runs, maintaining an average of 31.16 runs per match. Even in the last match against Peshawar Zalmi, the cricketer scored 63 runs and guided them to a clinical victory. We are expecting something similar in the upcoming match and hence do not hesitate to invest money on this bet.

Kamran Akmal to score over 24.5 runs @ 1.83 (Bet 365)

How can we possibly forget the one and only 'Kamran Akmal' - one of the most successful players in the history of the Pakistan Super League. Throwing light into his recent form, the veteran has scored 245 runs in 10 matches during the 2020 National T20 Cup, having made at least 25 runs in five of those matches. Even though he doesn't play quite a lot of cricket these days, his record in this tournament cannot be ignored at all.

Having played 10 matches against Lahore Qalandars overall, the right-hander has scored a total of 272 runs, at a rate of 38.86 runs per innings, which is impressive. In 126 matches played in Pakistan, Akmal has amassed 3309 runs, at a rate of 30.08 runs per innings. Strictly speaking of PSL, the experienced cricketer has racked up 1537 runs, averaging 29 runs per innings, which is incredible. I would not be surprised at all to see him add another 25 runs to the tally, so please place your bets fast.
