AUS vs SL 1st T20I Predictions & Betting Tips

Australia will be welcoming Sri Lanka for a five-match T20 series at home and the first game will be played on February 11, Friday. The first of this five-match series will be played at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney. This series, in fact this match, brought us an opportunity to make quite a lot of money. Therefore, I have got three top betting tips from the AUS vs SL head-to-head encounter for you punters to bet on.

The cricket season is well and truly underway and here we are with yet another T20I series. Australia and Sri Lanka will be at loggerheads as they will engage in a five-match battle starting from Friday. The last time these two sides met in a T20I competition was in the ICC World T20 2021. You will be surprised to know that Australia and Sri Lanka have never played a game against each other at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Thus, this upcoming encounter promises to be an enthralling one. Interestingly, Sri Lanka have won five out of their last eight T20I matches but they were not against significant sides. Therefore, taking on Australia in their backyard will be a tough challenge. While they get ready to square off against each other, we will look into the best betting tips from the AUS vs SL 1st T20I head-to-head clash.

AUS vs SL Team Bet:

The only market that has been made available to you punters is the winning bet. Therefore I have no choice but to pick the same from the AUS vs SL 1st T20I battle.

Australia to win

This is a bet that you are absolutely unlikely to fail. Since this is the only market available at the moment, it is wise to place your bets already. Australia and Sri Lanka have played 17 T20 international matches and Australia have emerged victorious in 9 matches leaving 8 wins for Sri Lanka. The head-to-head results are this close between them is because Sri Lanka asserted their dominance earlier but that slowly fizzled away with time. Believe it or not, Australia have won all their last five T20 international head-to-head matches against Sri Lanka. Australia have won five out the nine matches played on Australian soil. In fact, they have whitewashed Sri Lanka 3-0 during their last tour back in 2019-20. Pari Match is offering guaranteed odds of 1.27 for an Australian victory in the AUS vs SL 1st T20I match prediction.

AUS vs SL Player Bets:

As I said, the markets are yet to be unearthed but I am quite certain that these two aforementioned players will be the topic of hot discussion during this series. And of course I have picked them from the AUS vs SL 1st T20I clash.

David Warner to shine at the top

The destructive Australian opener is all geared up to reiterate the same what he does best - demolish the opposition bowling attack right from the onset. David Warner is going to be sold for big bucks in the mega auction of the IPL 2022 in another five days time for sure. A good performance in the first fixture of this upcoming series will just ensure the rest. But I don’t think anyone has any reasons to worry and it is because David Warner is the leading run getter in the head-to-head encounters against Sri Lanka. The left-handed opener has 512 runs in 13 matches at an impressive average of 56.88. The last time he faced Sri Lanka in a T20I fixture was in the ICC World T20 2021 and Warner smashed 65 runs from just 42 balls. While playing in Australia, the southpaw has scored 767 runs at an average of 45.11. Under the captaincy of Aaron Finch, Warner holds an impeccable record with 832 runs to his name at an astounding average of 69.33. Pari Match should offer you the best of odds for David Warner to shine at the top in the AUS vs SL 1st T20I match prediction.

Glenn Maxwell to score over 23.5 runs

The Big Show, as Glenn Maxwell is popularly known as, has been coming up clutch in the shortest format of the game. His IPL ventures in the last few years were not upto the mark but ever since his switch to the Royal Challengers Bangalore, Maxwell has done justice to his nickname. To begin with, Glenn Maxwell has a jaw-dropping batting average of 95.33 against Sri Lanka in T20 internationals. The right-handed middle-order batter has scored 286 runs in just 5 innings including one century and three half tons. While playing at home, Maxwell has scored 509 runs at an average of 31.81. In the first match of any T20 international series, the big-hitting batsman has an average of 31.16. Pari Match yet again should come to the rescue while offering the odds for Glenn Maxwell from the AUS vs SL 1st T20I match prediction.

My Picks:

Australia to win - @ 1.27 (Pari Match)

David Warner to shine at the top

Glenn Maxwell to score over 23.5 runs - @ 1.87 (Pari Match)
