The Pakistan Super League is set to resume once again after it was suspended in March, owing to the Covid-19 outbreak. With four matches to play in the tournament, we are in for a treat once it resumes later this week. Multan Sultans, the best team in the tournament so far, will lock horns with Karachi Kings in the Qualifier at the National Cricket Stadium, this Saturday afternoon. With a place in the final at stake, the players will play out of their skins, making this a match worth watching. Hope you don’t miss out on the riveting contest.
To make the experience more fruitful, I have handpicked the top three bets from the market and listed them below. Just go through my analysis and act accordingly to become richer by the end of the day.
It is always a tricky proposition to invest money on a batsman to score 30 runs in a T20 match, but we are backing up none other than Babar Azam - arguably the best batsman in the format right now. Even in the last two innings of the ongoing T20I series against Zimbabwe, his scores were - 51, 82, having scored at least 31 runs in each of those matches. A month back, he featured in the 2020 National T20 Cup, having played five matches, scoring a total of 275 runs (86 n.o, 86, 64 n.o, 0, 39) at a rate of 91.66 runs per innings, having made at least 31 runs in four of those matches.
So far, he is the highest run-scorer in the Pakistan Super League, having scored a total of 345 runs in 10 matches, at a rate of 49.29 runs per innings, having registered more than 30 runs in five of those matches. Having played six matches against Multan Sultans, Azam has piled up 160 runs, averaging 40 runs per innings. Overall, in 159 T20 matches, the right-hander has scored 4298 runs, at a staggering rate of 43.70 runs per innings, which is incredible. There's no way we can ignore this bet.
The English batsman has had a great past year in the T20 format, even though he is out of International cricket for quite some time. So far in the 2020 PSL, Alex Hales has managed to score 239 runs (29, 29, 52, 49, 80 n.o), averaging 59.75 runs per innings, having made at least 25 runs in each of the games he batted in. Prior to that, the right-hander had an excellent Big Bash League, where he was the second-highest run-scorer in the tournament, having registered 576 runs for the Sydney Thunders, at a rate of 38.40 runs per innings, having scored north of 24 runs in 10 of those instances.
Overall, Hales has played 13 matches in his PSL career, during which he scored 368 runs, at a rate of 36.80 runs per innings, which also supports our case. Having faced the likes of Multan Sultans on three occasions in the past, the batsman has accumulated 75 runs, averaging 37.50 runs per innings. His record in domestic T20s is above par, having piled up 5623 runs in 205 matches, scoring at a rate of 29.78 runs per innings. With form on his side, we are expecting him to score at least 25 runs in the upcoming match.
We are backing Babar Azam for this particular bet and we are confident that he is going to bring us money for this deal too. In the ongoing T20I series against Zimbabwe, he has already hit a total of 17 boundaries (9, 8), at a rate of 8.5 hits per innings, having hit at least 3 in each of those matches. In the tournament so far, the Pakistani is the top boundary hitter with 43 strikes to his name from 10 matches, at a rate of 4.3 hits per innings, having struck more than 2 in seven of those matches.
Having played five matches during the 2020 National T20 Cup, the batsman struck 32 boundaries, hitting at a rate of 6.4 per innings, registering at least 3 boundaries in four of those matches. Babar Azam has played five matches at the National Stadium, in Karachi this season, with him hitting a total of 26 boundaries (7, 5, 8, 3, 3), at a rate of 5.2 hits per match, having sent the ball to the ropes a total of 3 times in each of those matches.
Babar Azam to score over 30.5 runs @ 1.83 (Bet 365)
Alex Hales to score over 24.5 runs @ 1.83 (Bet 365)
Babar Azam to hit over 2.5 fours @ 1.53 (Bet 365)
