TOP 5 SL vs PAK BETTING TIPS:
1. Babar Azam to be the top batter for Pakistan
Pakistan captain Babar Azam ranks at the top in the ICC T20I rankings. The opening batsman has 2719 runs to his name in his young T20I career. After a disappointing run in the Asia Cup so far, top-quality batsman like Babar Azam is bound to make a strong comeback.
2. Pathum Nissanka to be the top batter for Sri Lanka
Pathum Nissanka, Who is also Sri Lanka’s leading T20 run-scorer in the last couple of years is going through a purple patch. He has been Lanka’s pick of the batters along with his opening partner Kusal Mendis in this Asia Cup. He scored a match-winning half-century in the last game against the same opposition.
3. Pakistan will be the team with the top batter
Pakistan includes a much-experienced batting line-up as compared to opposition Sri Lanka. The list includes Babr Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman, Shadab Khan, and a couple of other names. We expect one of the following batters to play a mammoth inning.
4. Sri Lanka total sixes: Over 5.5
Sri Lanka’s batting line-up has been undoubtedly the most attacking one when it comes to the ongoing Asia Cup 2022. Most Sri Lankan batters rely on sixes to be their top run-scoring option. Bank on the young and fierce line-up to hit at least 5.5 maximums in this game.
5. Total in the highest scoring over Over 19.5
We have witnessed multiple gigantic overs in the ongoing Asian tournament, especially at this particular venue (DSC). Strong batting line-ups, Relatively flat pitches, and unequal dimensions pan out as the biggest reasons for that. We expect at least one big over in this game too.
FINAL VERDICT:
Pakistan certainly enters the all-important encounter as a favorite and hence back them to achieve a significant win over Sri Lanka. A victory in this game would mean a title win for the star-studded Pakistan team. Nevertheless, Do not be surprised if Sri Lanka manages to put up a stellar show.
