PAK vs AUS 3rd Test Day 4 Predictions & Betting Tips

Pakistan had one last opportunity to keep this Benaud-Qadir Trophy home but it seems to be slipping through their hands in this 3rd and final Test match of this series against Australia. The match is being played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore and the excitement levels of the fans at the venue and the ones sitting in front of the television have gone through the roof. As Day 4 has a lot of enthralling action in store for us, let us take a look at the top betting tips from the PAK vs AUS 3rd Test Day 4 head-to-head battle.

The way things were going on Day 3 of this final Test match of the series, it only looked like yet another draw. But Australia had other plans in their mind in the final session of Day 3 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. No one saw this coming after yet another brilliant knock of 81 by Abdullah Shafique and a gritty 78 from the bat of the former skipper Azhar Ali. Babar Azam looked imperious too as Pakistan were sitting pretty at 248 for 7. It was then Australia skipper Pat Cummins introduced Mitchell Starc and himself. The left-handed fiery seamer burst the floodgates open with two absolute corkers - one to dismiss Fawad Alam and the other to remove Mohammad Rizwan. Pakistan capsized from 248 for 3 to 268 all out and that means they lost 7 for 20 to Cummins and Starc! The visitors have all the aces in their hands with two days in hand as they are 134 runs ahead. Australia are in the driving seat at the moment and it remains to be seen how they react to this situation. Until then take a look at the top betting tips from the PAK vs AUS 3rd Test Day 4 head-to-head encounter.

PAK vs AUS 3rd Test Day 4 Player Bets:

The bookmakers have shared a decent amount of markets from the Pakistan vs Australia 3rd Test Day 4 predictions. However, we need to realise the depth of it by choosing the correct ones and those are the player markets.

Usman Khawaja to score over 46.5 runs

The Australian opener has been in imperious form ever since he has come back to this Test squad. Usman Khawaja has more or less cemented his place in this playing XI and this is brilliant signs for the Aussies. The left-handed batter Khawaja has scored 654 runs in just 5 matches in 2022 at an astonishing batting average of 109.00! His scores in the ongoing series - 97, 160, 44* and 91 suggest that he is not satisfied with something that is less. In 8 matches against Pakistan, the southpaw has amassed 895 runs at an astounding batting average of 89.50. In the third match innings of Test matches, Khawaja has played 22 games and has scored 868 runs at an average of 62.00. While opening the batting for Australia in Test matches, the left-hander sports a batting average of 96.25! Man-O-Man! These numbers are simply unreal and it does not look like he is going to fail in the innings he is in at the moment as well. Pari Match is offering incredible odds of 2.08 for Usman Khawaja to score over 46.5 runs in the PAK vs AUS 3rd Test Day 4 match prediction.

David Warner to score over 31.5 runs

The other opener who is out there alongside Usman Khawaja is David Warner and that is why he automatically makes into my tips today. Warner has had an okay-ish series and definitely not up to his standar. Because if you look at his numbers against the subcontinental teams, you will have a better perspective. David Warner has his career-best batting average against Pakistan (86.14) in the longest format of the game. He has scored over 31.5 runs in two out of his last four knocks in this series. In the third match innings, Warner has featured 51 times and has racked up 2013 runs at an average of 41.93. In the third match of any Test series, the left-handed batter has an average of almost 50.00. Opening the batting for Australia in Test cricket, the southpaw has maintained an incredible batting average of 50.87. Pari Match is offering odds of 1.72 for David Warner to score over 31.5 runs in the PAK vs AUS 3rd Test Day 4 match prediction.

Usman Khawaja to hit over 4.5 fours

Last but not the least, Usman Khawaja is with us again as this time his boundary-hitting ability will fill our pockets. In 5* innings up until now, Usman Khawaja has managed to clobber 44 fours and that is an average of almost 9 fours per innings. During the knock of 91 runs in the first innings, Khawaja managed to clobber 9 fours and in the current knock, he has added one more. That would mean he has already hit 10 fours in this ongoing Test match. In the ICC World Test Championship, the left-handed opening batsman has distributed 86 fours in 15 innings and that is an average of almost 6 fours per knock. Under the leadership of Pat Cummins, Khawaja has managed to clatter 69 fours in just 9 innings, which is an average of almost 8 hits per knock. The Pari Match is at it again as they are offering very good odds of 1.72 for Usman Khawaja to hit at least 4.5 fours from the PAK vs AUS 3rd Test Day 4 match prediction.
