PAK vs AUS 2nd Test Day 1 Predictions & Betting Tips

Pakistan and Australia will once again be at loggerheads in the second Test of this three-match series. This upcoming match between the two cricketing giants will be held at the National Stadium in Karachi, starting from March 12, Saturday. Many of you must have filled your pockets with a lot of cash during the first match of the series. Now it is time to make more from the second game and therefore I have accumulated the top betting tips from the PAK vs AUS 2nd Test Day 1 head-to-head encounter.

Australia are touring Pakistan after 24 long years and the excitement level just went down several notches after the first Test. I have been following and writing about this sport for several years now but I have never experienced a flatter benign wicket than the Rawalpindi one. It was almost like batting practice for both Pakistan and Australia and almost nothing for the bowlers. However, the Karachi pitch might be a lot different than the one in Rawalpindi and one can expect a cracking game. While they gear up for this forthcoming game of Test cricket, we will look into the top betting tips from the PAK vs AUS 2nd Test Day 1 head-to-head clash.

PAK vs AUS 2nd Test Day 1 Team Bet:

The odds for team markets are going to be in favour of the hosts and that goes without saying. However, I still have managed to unearth a gem from that list so that we can make almost double the money from the PAK vs AUS 2nd Test Day 1 battle.

Top batter’s team - Pakistan

Pakistan playing a Test match on their home soil and their batters won’t score runs? That sounds like an oxymoron! The first Test was the epitome of that example that I am trying to portray here. Babar Azam and co. posted totals of 476 and 252 in the respective innings of that game and lost only 6 wickets overall. In fact, they did not lose any in the second innings as both Imam ul Haq and Abdullah Shafique scored individual unbeaten hundreds. Imam even went on to score twin hundreds in the first Test match in Rawalpindi. Shafique has played three Test matches so far in his career and has racked up 330 runs at a staggering average of 82.50. Imam went on to better his Test batting average from 25 to 37.65 in one single game. Fawad Alam has an impressive batting average 56.66 while playing on his home soil. The skipper Babar Azam has an astounding batting average of 80.52 while playing at home. Therefore, you can understand the seriousness of this batting lineup and expect them to be the top batter’s team. The Pari Match website is offering odds of 1.84 for the same from the PAK vs AUS 2nd Test Day 1 match prediction.

PAK vs AUS 2nd Test Day 1 Player Bets:

We usually go for the normal player markets but I decided to tweak things a bit and pick two absolute guns of markets from the PAK vs AUS 2nd Test Day 1 action.

Marnus Labuschagne to score a 50

This is not just a normal player market but a fantastic one so to say and it is because the player himself will make it guaranteed for you. Marnus Labuschagne has to score a fifty and I am quite certain about it. The world’s no. 1 Test batsman has played 24 Test matches so far and has scored 2310 runs at an unbelievable batting average of 57.75. He has played five matches against Pakistan and has already amassed 518 runs at an astounding average of 74.00! In the previous Test match Labuschagne finished with a score of 90 runs and was the highest run getter for his team. In his last three Test knocks against Pakistan, the unorthodox right-handed batsman has registered scores of 185, 162 and 90. In the second match of any Test series, Labuschagne has a Test batting average of 52.90. In the ICC World Test Championship, Labuschagne has been scoring at an average of 65.62. All these numbers are indicative of the fact that Marnus Labuschagne is likely to score 50 or more runs. Pari Match is offering outstanding odds of 2.52 for the same from the PAK vs AUS 2nd Test Day 1 match prediction.

Usman Khawaja total fours - 1st innings - over 2.5

Last but not the least, Usman Khawaja is here with yet another unbelievable market from the Pakistan vs Australia 2nd Test match. And we need him to hit just 3 fours to make 1.7 times the cash. Usman Khawaja has played 47 Test matches in his career up until now and has smashed 352 boundaries and that is definitely more than 3 fours per innings. The left-handed batsman has clobbered 61 fours in 6 Test matches against Pakistan and that is an average of more than 10 fours per game. In his last knock during the first Test match in Rawalpindi, the southpaw managed to hit 15 boundaries. In the ongoing calendar year, Khawaja has played three Test matches and has distributed 40 fours and that amounts to almost 13 fours per match. In the ICC World Test Championship, in 6 matches, Khawaja has clattered 57 fours as well. Pari Match is offering odds of 1.69 for Usman Khawaja to hit over 2.5 fours in the PAK vs AUS 2nd Test Day 1 match prediction.

My Picks:

Top batter’s team - Pakistan - @ 1.84 (Pari Match)

Marnus Labuschagne to score a 50 - @ 2.52 (Pari Match)

Usman Khawaja total fours - 1st innings - over 2.5 - @ 1.69 (Pari Match)
