AS vs MS Match 23 Predictions & Betting Tips

Adelaide Strikers will take on Melbourne Stars in match number 23 of the 2022/23 edition of The Big Bash League. The fixture is scheduled to be hosted at Adelaide Oval on December 31st. The match will commence at 1:30 PM IST. Ahead of the matchday, I have assorted three of the best money-making betting tips for you from the AS vs MS head-to-head encounter.

Strikers have had a great start to their campaign with three wins in the first three fixtures. However, they are looking out of track right now, with two hovering defeats from as many games. Strikers are currently sitting at the 2nd position of the points table among the 8 competitors with 6 points besides their name. Team Green is facing a difficult time securing a position in the league scene even after playing 5 games and is surging in the competition at the 7th position in the league table with only a single win in their last 5 matches. Hence, AS will go down as our match favourites for this game against MS who are languishing at the second spot from the bottom of the ladder. As we gear up for this exciting game of cricket, let us have a look at the top team & player betting tips from the AS vs MS match prediction.

AS vs MS Team Bets:

Mentioned below are the top two team betting tips from the AS vs MS head-to-head encounter. Take a look!

Adelaide Strikers to score under 22.5 at first dismissal

Strikers started their BBL campaign on a strong note, picking up three victories from as many games. However, they have now lost two back-to-back games and are looking to regain their lost form. In the last five games, AS posted scores of 1, 0, 9, 20 & 2 runs before the fall of the first wicket which makes up an average of 6.4 runs per match before the first fall. This outcome is totally under our radar, thus making it a strong and safe betting tip for this game. Also, this accounts for an efficiency of 100% for AS to score under our target before the fall of the first wicket. In the last five head-to-head clashes, Adelaide Strikers’ scores read - 22, 21, 6, 27 & 27 runs before the fall of the first wicket. This accounts for an average of 20.6 runs per match for the first wicket and an efficiency of 60% to score under the targeted betting tip and hence is safe to go along with the same. Adelaide Strikers’ opening pair has revolved around these three players this season namely - Matthew Short, Henry Hunt & Jake Weatherlad. Although Short is doing well this season, the other two possible opening partners are struggling to put up a nice show with the bat and are averaging close to 0.00 & 4.50 respectively. All of these stats work right in favour of this betting tip, thus making it more desirable and safe for our odds. 1XBET offers the odds of 1.91 for the same and you should take it for a heavy payday.

Total match fours to be scored under 24.5

Both the teams Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Stars are attacking teams with good-quality players. Adelaide Strikers have won the BBL previously whereas Melbourne Star are yet to win their maiden BBL title. In their last five head-to-head clashes, the total number of fours hit per match is - 16, 17, 18, 24 & 24 which proportionates to an average of 19.8 fours per match and an efficiency of 100% to score under 24.5 fours in the forthcoming contest. If we take a look at AS’s last five matches this season, the total number of fours hit per game happens to be - 23, 30, 20, 11 & 23 which averages to 21.4 fours per match they have played in the league which is favoured for the betting tip. This also accounts for an efficiency of 80% to hit under 24.5 fours in their upcoming game. On the other hand, in all the 5 matches that Melbournes Stars have been involved this season in the BBL, the total number of fours hit read- 19, 18, 28, 25 & 15. This takes their average to 21 fours hit per game and an efficiency of 60% to bag fours under 24.5 match fours in the forthcoming contest as well. The venue for the forthcoming match is Adelaide Oval, where two matches have been held in this season of BBL so far and the average number of fours hit every game happens to be 21.5. Keeping that in mind, I would suggest you go for this betting tip and pick the odds of 1.725 offered by 1XBET to earn a hefty bonus.

AS vs MS Player Bet:

We have chosen Chris Lynn to perform well for his respective side in the upcoming AS vs MS head-to-head contest. Take a look below!

Chris Lynn to score over 20.5 runs

Chris Lynn was one of the first Australian players in his prime to turn his back on first-class cricket to become a white-ball specialist. It did not hinder his selection for Australia at T20I and ODI level but his inconsistency at the international level saw him miss out on the 2019 World Cup after being seen as a potential asset for the previous 18 months. In 2018-19, he became the BBL's all-time leading run-scorer and took over from Brendon McCullum as captain of the Brisbane Heat. In this edition of Big Bash League 2022/23, he posted scores of 35, 12, 28, 36 & 42 runs. This accounts for an efficiency of 80% to score above the mark of 20.5 runs in this game. The T20 career for Chis Lynn has been great all through, recording 246 matches and scoring 6808 runs which provide an average of 31.81 every match. In T20Is, Lynn averages 19.40 with 291 runs scored in just 18 games. In the previous season of BBL 2021/22, while playing for Brisbane Heat, Lynn smashed 215 runs from just 12 games at an average of about 17.91. In this session of BBL, Chris Lynn has scored 152 runs from 5 matches averaging 30.40 which is clearly above our desired mark of 20.5 runs. In their last 5 head-to-head clashes vs Melbourne Stars, Lynn delivered a smashing performance scoring - 28, 57, 28, 20 & 34 runs which accounts for an average of 37.4 every game he played against Stars which makes our desirable betting tip safe and comfortable. 1XBET offers the odds of 1.832 for the same and you should take it for a heavy payday.
