PAK vs AUS One-Off T20I Predictions & Betting Tips

Pakistan will be at loggerheads with Australia one last time during this tour and this time it will be a one-off T20I. This match will also be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on April 5, Tuesday. I have assorted three of the top betting tips from the PAK vs AUS only T20I head-to-head clash.

Having crushed the Aussies in the ODI series, the momentum and confidence will be with Pakistan. After going down 1-0 in the series, it was imperative for Babar Azam and co. that they bounce back and boy they did come back well! This was Pakistan’s first ODI series win against Australia since 2002. Babar Azam wrapped it up with two back-to-back centuries and Imam ul Haq starred with the bat in the last two games as well. Now it comes down to a format where the Aussies have had their say most of the time. But getting it done without a blip against Pakistan is a rare feat and remember, India failed miserably in the ICC World T20 2021 as well. But Pakistan were humbled by the Aussies in the ICC World T20 2021 semi-final. The Men in Green surely has not forgotten that and probably licking their lips while thinking about avenging that defeat. Therefore we have a cracker of an encounter up our sleeves and as a result the top three betting tips are here for you too from the PAK vs AUS head-to-head encounter.

PAK vs AUS Only T20I Player Bets:

The bookmakers are yet to offer any sort of lucrative team bets from which you can make profitable cash. So we are going to stick with the player markets and I can assure you that you are not going to leave disheartened from the PAK vs AUS only T20I battle.

Babar Azam to score over 28.5 runs

The Pakistan skipper has been in breathtaking form with his hallowed piece of willow at the moment. The classy right-hander is scoring runs at free will and this is when he becomes extremely dangerous. He scored runs in the Test series and followed it up in the ODI series and it is almost inevitable that he will add to his tally in the only T20I as well. Babar is the fifth highest run scorer in the head-to-head encounters against Australia as he has 317 runs under his belt in just 7 matches at a staggering average of 63.40. In 73 matches overall, the Pakistani skipper has scored 2620 runs at an average of 45.17. The last time Babar faced the Aussies was in the ICC World T20 2021 semi-final and he got away with a score of 39. As the skipper of this Pakistan T20I outfit, the right hander has been maintaining a batting average of 41.56. He loves to open in this particular format and while he does that, Babar has an average of almost 44.00. Pari Match should offer you mouth-watering deals for this man in the PAK vs AUS only T20I match prediction.

Mohammad Rizwan to score over 27.5 runs

From Babar Azam, we now move over to his opening comrade - Mohammad Rizwan! What a captivating story this man has had in the last three years as his evolution as a cricketer and as a pivotal batter in that Pakistani squad across format is one for the chores. The 29-year-old wicket-keeping batsman has played 55 matches and has added 1639 runs against his name at an impressive batting average of 51.21. Rizwan smashed 67 from 52 balls in the last T20I clash against the Kangaroos in the ICC World T20 2021 semi-final. Rizwan has managed to amass 411 runs on his home soil in this format of the game at an astonishing average of 68.50. The last calendar year (2021), Rizwan finished as the best T20I batter across the globe with 1326 runs at a jaw-dropping average of 73.66. Under the leadership of Babar, Rizwan has been maintaining an incredible batting average of 65.52. Pari Match once again should offer really good odds for Mohammad Rizwan in the PAK vs AUS only T20I match prediction.

Marcus Stoinis to score over 28.5 runs

An Australia hard-hitting all-rounder is my next pick and is more fondly referred to as ‘The Hulk’. Yes ladies and gentlemen, I am indeed referring to Marcus Stoinis. Australia’s ability to produce big-hitting all-rounders time and time again is not unknown. Here they are with another one in the form of Stoinis, who has become an integral part of the Aussie’s white-ball squad. In 40 matches so far in his career, Stoinis has scored 542 runs at an average of 28.52. In the recently concluded ODI series, the big-hitting middle-order batter was averaging 31.33. In fact, Stoinis also sports a batting average of 34.00 against Pakistan in the T20Is. Under the captaincy of Aaron Finch, he pushes his average to almost 30.00 in this particular format. He finished the previous calendar year scoring runs at an average of 44.00. Watch out for decent odds for Marcus Stoinis from the PAK vs AUS only T20I match prediction on the Pari Match website.

Mohammad Rizwan to score over 27.5 runs - @1.87 (Pari Match)

Marcus Stoinis to score over 20.5 runs - @ 1.87 (Pari Match)
