Cricket Betting: Australia vs Pakistan 4th ODI
Australia are on the verge of winning the ODI series against Pakistan as we move to Sydney for the next match. This fourth ODI of the series would be played on Sunday, January 22.
Can the Aussies close out?
With Big Bash and the upcoming Indian series major distractions, Australia have done well to keep their dominance alive. The injury to Chris Lynn opened the doors for Peter Handscomb who seems to be doing nothing wrong this summer.
With the ball, it’s the control of Josh Hazlewood that’s stifling the visitors who had struggled for consistency. Adam Zampa is tipped to start on a track that suits spin, so Australia will only get more formidable!
A bit of consistency from Pakistan
That’s the need of the hour! Pakistan have been brilliant in patches but didn’t help their own course by failing to snatch key moments in both the games they lost. Mohammad Hafeez impressed with his captaincy standing in for Azhar Ali while Babar Azam looks to have carried his white-ball form of 2016 into the new year.
Bowling is the lone shining beacon for the visitors who have been woeful with their fielding. It would be interesting to see if they swap their third seamer for an extra spinner going with the conditions.
Odds
No surprise that the odds are heavily in favor of Australia who look good to wrap up the series at Sydney. The $1.25 doesn’t do justice if you are looking for value on your bet. Backing Pakistan at better odds doesn’t incite much confidence, however.
Warner would definitely be itching to score runs after missing the bus in the first three matches. He looks like a value bet to be Australia’s best batsmen.
Tip: David Warner Most Australian Runs – $3.65 at CrownBet
For Pakistan, it’s going to be another case of depending on Babar Azam’s runs. He looks to have started 2017 where he left last year and his consistent performances are the only reason they still feel confident of winning the series. You can get him at the $5 mark to top Pakistan’s batting.
