Multan Sultans will face-off with Karachi Kings in match no. 10 of the Pakistan Super League at the Multan Cricket Stadium, this Friday afternoon.
Multan Sultans will get a chance to play in their home town when they face-off with fourth-placed Karachi Kings in the Pakistan Super League. Looking at the teams, a fairly even contest is expected on Friday afternoon. Meanwhile, to make your Friday more exciting I have already handpicked the best three bets for you that will give you maximum returns.
Have a look:
Might look like a surprising pick apparently with just two games into the tournament, but I would like to take the chance with Babar Azam –the top T20I batsman in the world. In the two matches he played in the league so far, the right-hander has hit a total of 12 fours at a rate of six per innings, which gives you an indication of what’s in store for us. In the last five T20Is, Azam has struck 19 boundaries at a rate of almost four per innings, which also supports our cause. But, can we really bank on him looking at his recent records? I wouldn’t.
If I tell you he’s been performing consistently throughout his career that would be more justifiable I guess. In the 38 T20Is he’s played, Azam hit a total of 134 fours at a rate of 3.84 per innings. While playing at home, he struck 54 fours in 12 matches at a rate of 4.5 per innings. If that still doesn’t intrigue you invest on this particular bet, let me inform you that the Pakistani hit a total of 60 fours in just 13 matches in the Vitality Blast last year. Carry on and place your bets.
The South African is not alien to these conditions having already played in the Indian Premier League and Bangladesh Premier League and with the recent form he’s enjoying, I highly doubt that I would be risking my money on this particular bet. In the three matches played this season, his scores are – 49, 0, 32, having scored two scores north of 24 runs. But that hardly solves our problem because you need more concrete evidence to make you feel comfortable. In the recently concluded Bangladesh Premier League, the southpaw was the top scorer in the tournament having scored five short of 500 runs at an average of 45.0 with a top score of 71.
Even in the previous edition of the Pakistan Super League, Rossouw managed to score a total of 295 runs at an average of 32.77 runs per innings with a top score of 67. Overall, in 195 matches, the South African has scored 4826 runs at an average of 29.72 runs per innings which includes a century and 27 fifties. There’s no way he’s going to score less than 25 runs in the upcoming match.
There’s no denying that the veteran Pakistani speedster has a lot in him till date and it was proved when he took a match-winning four-wicket haul against Peshawar Zalmi in the previous match. His figures in the last three matches – 4/13, 0/16, 1/36, have already picked up five wickets in the league. Even though his International days are as good as over, I would still; vouch for him looking at his records in the domestic leagues.
For instance, in the previous edition of the Pakistan Super League, he has scalped a total of 15 wickets in 12 matches. Overall, in 331 T20s he played over the years, starting from 2005, the left-arm bowler has picked up 346 wickets with best figures of 6/14. With odds as high as 4.50 for the bowler to shine, I would definitely invest in this deal and hope
