LQ vs IU PSL-7 Eliminator 2 Predictions

As we approach the finale of the Pakistan Super League -7, Lahore Qalandars and Islamabad United will take on each other for a place in the final and set up a date against the rampant Multan Sultans.

Two-time champions Islamabad United won the Eliminator 1 in a dramatic and thrilling fashion to keep alive their hopes of a third Pakistan Super League title as 2017 champions Peshawar Zalmi were knocked out at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. On the other hand, after losing to Multan Sultans in the first qualifier, Lahore Qalandars will have another shot at making amends.

LQ vs IU PSL-7 Eliminator 2 Player Bets

Zaman to score over 26.5 runs

All bets should be off on this man. What a legend he has become in the Pakistan white-ball ecosystem and this Pakistan Super League has become a live testimony to the same. In the ongoing season, the Pakistan opener scored 584 runs in 11 matches at an average of 53.09 and a strike rate of 155.31. In those 11 matches, the Lahore Qalandars talismanic batter has piled on a century and seven half-centuries, and only thrice has his score has fallen below the fifty-run mark. That he has piled on eight fifty-plus scores in 11 games tells you how he has become a batter of impregnable ability. The 31-year-old has amassed 4887 runs in 187 T20 matches with a strike rate of 135.17. With 37 fifty-plus scores in his T20 career, Zaman has ensured that he is more than what the world understands him as a batter. Zaman has an average of 32.25 and a strike rate of 139.4 in the Pakistan Super League and when he bats first in the tournament, his average shoots up to 34.33. From that evidence, it is clear that Zaman can be a really good asset to bank on through Parimatch.

Hales to score over 21.5 runs

Alex Hales decided to return to the Pakistan Super League and he did it with a bang to score a stunning 62 in the Eliminator. In 8 games, he has 317 runs in 8 games at an average of 45.28 and a strike rate of 149.52, and from that statistic, one can figure that why Hales is celebrated so highly by cricket teams around the world. Despite playing three fewer games than other contenders, he has found himself at the top position of run-scorers among the United batters and has scored those runs with impeccable consistency. One of the biggest superstars on the T20 circuit has 9248 runs in 326 games at an average of 32.03 and a strike rate of 146.6 in his career. Hales has a boundary percentage of 67.8% but what makes him such a brute force is her consistency. He has a batting first average of 28.14 as compared to his average of 33.93 in the second dig, making him such an invaluable player around the world. Hales averages 37.23 in wins, which is another reason why betting big on him would be a wise thing to do. Go to Parimatch and let the company take care of your ROI.

Azam Khan to score over 17.5 runs

Alongside Alex Hales, Azam Khan has been another top contributor to Islamabad's cause, as he has scored 256 runs at an average of 28.44 and a strike rate of 141.43. He is the second-highest run-scorer in the tournament this season. Despite having only two half-centuries to his name, his consistency this season has been impeccable. There has been a wider narrative as Azam is known for his big-hitting prowess and the ability to score at a rapid pace. It might not have reaped dividends all the time but when it did, the impact was visible. He has 1409 runs in T20 cricket at an average of 22.36 and a strike rate of 144.21 with seven half-centuries. His balls per dismissal ratio of 24.56 have been solid for a batter whose initial years were stereotyped as a red-ball cricketer. Azam Khan's evolution stands right on our ball-park of us hedging our bet on Parimatch. You can benefit from the same by putting some money on this market.

Zaman to score over 26.5 runs @ 1.87 (Parimatch)

Hales to score over 21.5 runs @ 1.87 (Parimatch)

Azam Khan to score over 17.5 runs @ 1.87 (Parimatch)
