PAK vs AUS 3rd Test Day 2 Predictions & Betting Tips

Pakistan will welcome Australia once again on Day 2 of the third and the final test which is a part of Australia’s tour of Pakistan 2022. The match is being hosted at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore from 21st March, Monday. I have gathered three of the top betting tips from the PAK vs AUS Day 2 match prediction.

Babar Azam and co will be pretty pleased with the efforts they have put in the series decider on Monday. Left arm speedster Shaheen Shah Afridi gave the hosts the perfect start to the match. He removed opener David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne in a span of just three deliveries. But Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith steadied Australia’s ship and stitched a 138 run partnership for the third wicket before Pat Cummin’s deputy fell victim to Naseem Shah in the final session of the day. The hosts got two more wickets in the final hour of the day and tilted the match towards them finally. Usman Khawaja fell short of another test century as the hosts took control of the series decider in Lahore. Australia’s only centurion of the ongoing series mustered 91 runs in his 219 ball stay at the crease. He struck 9 fours and a six. Travis Head who was the leading run-getter in the recently concluded Ashes series was dismissed cheaply for the third time in the ongoing series. Cameron Green remained unbeaten for 20 overnight while wicket-keeper Alex Carey hammered 8 off 15 deliveries. After winning a crucial toss, the Aussies posted a total of 232 runs at the cost of five wickets at stumps on Day 1. As we gear up for the forthcoming clash, let us have a look at the three of the top betting tips from the PAK vs AUS Day 2 match prediction.

PAK vs AUS Day 2 Team Bet:

Read along to know more about the top team bet from the PAK vs AUS Day 2 match prediction.

Australia To Hit Over 40.5 Fours In 1st Innings

Even though Australia lost David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne quite early in the innings, they were in full control of the game until the final session of the day. Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith stitched a 138 run partnership but the Aussies lost three wickets in the final session. The five time World Champions have hit 23 fours in the first innings at the moment. Usman Khawaja alone struck 9 out of 23 fours so far. Although Australia’s half of the team is sitting at the pavilion, a lot of their fire power is still yet to come out to bat. So far in the ongoing series against Pakistan, the Aussies have struck fours at an average of 58.5 per innings from two matches. In the recently concluded 2021/22 Ashes series, the Pat Cummins led side hit 41.33 fours on an average per innings. In the first innings, Australia have hit 59, 49, 34, 44, 22 fours in their last five matches. This sums up to 208 fours from five matches. Cameron Green who is at the crease has alone hit 29 fours in the 2021-23 cycle of ICC World Test Championship. Alex Carey who is batting at 8* has also hit 26 fours in the ongoing cycle followed by Mitchell Starc (17), Nathan Lyon (12) and skipper Pat Cummins (11). Therefore, it is fair to say that the Aussies have a lot of strength still left and we can surely expect them to hit over 40.5 fours in the first innings. Head over to Pari Match and place your bet on Australia at odds of 1.94 and get some hefty returns.

PAK vs AUS Day 2 Player Bets:

Cameron Green and Alex Carey are my top two player betting tips from the PAK vs AUS Day 2 match prediction. I am certain that the aforementioned players are going to get you a lucrative return.

Cameron Green To Score Over 44.5 Runs In 1st Innings

The young and tall Australian all-rounder is my next pick from the PAK vs AUS Day 2 match prediction. The precocious talent earned his international call-up after consistent performances in the domestic circuit for Western Australia. The 22-year-old has accumulated 96 runs from three games in the ongoing season at a jaw-dropping average of 48.00. He struck 48 in the opening game of the series at Rawalpindi. His 109 ball stay at the crease was laced with four boundaries. Prior to the start of the ongoing series against Pakistan, Green featured in the Ashes series at home wherein he racked up 228 runs at an average of 32.57 from five Tests. He struck two fifties in that series. So far in the 2021-23 cycle of ICC World Test Champions, Cameron Green has added 324 runs to his tally of total runs from eight games averaging about 36.00. Since making his test debut at Adelaide against India, Green has featured in 11 Tests to pile 540 runs at an average of 33.75. Cameron Green batted with some resilience out there on Day 1 and ensured that the Aussies didn't lose further wickets. The youngster batted in some tricky conditions after the arrival of the second new ball in the final hour of the day. Green is someone who can be relied on and will be instrumental in building a formidable first innings total for the Aussies. Green remained unbeaten at 20 overnight off 48 deliveries and we expect him to add a couple of more runs to his total. Therefore, we have backed Cameron Green to score over 44.5 runs in the 1st innings. Head over to Pari Match and place your bet on Cameron Green at odds of 1.70 and get some exciting returns.

Alex Carey To Score Over 31.5 Runs In 1st Innings

Lastly, I have picked the 30-year-old wicket-keeper batsman Alex Carey to my list today from the PAK vs AUS Day 2 match prediction. Carey was a specialist batsman in his initial days but later became a gloveman as well which eventually opened a lot of doors for him. With Matthew Wade’s dip in form, Carey got the spot in Australia’s test team. The South Australia born cricketer made his test debut in the recently concluded 2021/22 Ashes series. He scored his maiden fifty in his second game and later fell just one run short of what could have been his second fifty in the final test at Hobart. Carey hammered 183 runs from five games against England. In the first innings of the previous match at Karachi, Carey fell agonisingly short of what could have been his maiden test ton. Carey struck 93 off 159 deliveries which consisted of 7 fours and 2 sixes. Carey took his team beyond the 500 run mark and it remains to be seen if the 30-year-old can do that once again tomorrow. This takes his series average to 60.00 from three innings in the ongoing series. If we have a look at his First-class career, the southpaw has accumulated 2787 runs from 53 games at an average of 33.17. Since the start of the 2018/19 season, Carey has averaged more than 44.00 in Sheffield Shield for South Australia. We expect Alex Carey to continue from where he left in the previous match and put up a watchful show when he comes out to bat tomorrow morning. Carey remained unbeaten for 8 overnight off 15 deliveries. After a careful analysis of the datas, we have backed Alex Carey to score over 31.5 runs in the first innings. For now, go to Pari Match and place your bet on him at odds of 1.70 and get some amazing returns.
