SA vs PAK 3rd ODI Match Predictions and Betting Tips

The third and final ODI match between South Africa and Pakistan will be played on Wednesday, April 7. The match is due to be held at SuperSport Park in Centurion. I have picked the best betting tips from the SA vs PAK match ahead of the game.

After Pakistan’s thrilling win in the opening match in Centurion, South Africa bounced back to receive a 17 run win against Pakistan.The series is levelled at 3-3 at the moment. Fakhar Azam, the Man of the Match single-handedly kept his side in the game. South Africa survived an astonishing onslaught by Fakhar Azam to secure a series-levelling 17-run win against Pakistan in Johannesburg. The opener smashed 193 runs off 155 balls before being run out in the final over. Zaman fought a lone battle, while no other Pakistani batsman scored above 40. Had he got some support, the story would have been different.

It was the three-wicket haul at the top by Anrich Nortje that set up South Africa’s win after they scored 341. Not to forget the blistering half-century from David Miller. It was Temba Bavuma's first win as ODI captain. With the famous five of South Africa out for the IPL series, the Babar Azam led side will continue to hold on to their momentum.The third ODI will tell us who will win the series.

SA vs PAK Team Bets

From the two ODI matches the teams have played recently, I have analyzed the matches and picked the best betting tips. Take a look at the top team betting tips from SA vs PAK 3rd ODI.

Pakistan To Hit Most Match 4’s

The last and foremost match prediction is in favour of the visitor who has always excelled in hitting smaller boundaries. When Pakistan and South Africa last played in the ICC world cup match, Pakistan fetched a total of 31 fours against South Africa. The highest boundary to be hit by a Pakistani player was 9 fours. South Africa on the other hand had 19 fours to themselves in the same match. Andile Phehlukwayo had hit a maximum of 6 fours in the match. Also considering the teams recent three innings played, Pakistan scored 72 fours in their recent innings which averages to 24.0 fours per match. While South Africa had assembled 64 fours from the three innings played recently. They averaged at 21.33 fours per match.

Now let's consider the last five-match ODI series that the teams have played earlier. In the 3-2 levelled series, Pakistan had gathered 119 fours from the five innings played. They averaged at 23.8 fours per match. While South Africa had pulled in 88 fours which averaged to 17.6 per match. In the ongoing ODI Series, from the two matches played, the Babar Azam led side has put together 62 fours ( 27 and 35) from the 2 innings played. They average at 31 fours per match. While the Bavuma led side has 60 fours to themselves averaging at 30 fours per match. In the last match played, Fakhar Azam hit 18 boundaries, being the highest among batsmen. This clearly indicates that Pakistan have always beaten their opponent when it came to scoring runs from smaller boundaries. Bet365.com has offered high odds of 1.95 for Pakistan to hit most match 4’s in the final SA vs PAK ODI series.
