We have two high octane T20 matches coming up today. The first match is Australia vs Pakistan and this is the opening match of the 3 match series. Then later in the day we have England vs West Indies and this is the third match of the 5 match T20 series. Let’s look at the odds. Australia vs Pakistan, 1st T20 Pakistan is coming into the shorter format with a positive approach as they just defeated Australia in the last two ODI matches. The Pakistani bowlers deserve most of the credit for this win but l believe their batsmen rose to the occasion too and supported them well. Australia will be coming to the series with a depleted side as their regular captain and their best T20 batsmen are both out of the team. A few other important players are missing as well. The odds for Australia to win are 1.40 and these odds are I believe because of Pakistan’s previous performances in Australia. I pick Pakistan to win this match as I believe they will continue performing well after their new found mojo in the ODI series. The odds for Pakistan to win are 2.70. From the moment Jason Fraser McGurk has entered the Australian team he has proved his worth and I believe he is going to be the highest run getter for them. The odds for this event are 5.50. For the Pakistani side I pick Mohammad Rizwan as the top run getter and the odds for this are 3.25. While looking at the bowling I have my eyes set on Adam Zampa to be Australia’s best bowler and the odds for that are 3.75. Haris Rauf was the only reason Pakistan won the ODI series and he is my pick to be the top bowler for Pakistan. The odds for him to be their best bowler is 4.00. England vs West Indies, 3rd T20 West Indies play England in the third match of the series and if they lose this match they will also lose the5 match T20 series. West Indian batting performance can be called decent but their bowlers have underperformed throughout this series. On the other hand the English team has performed well in every aspect of the game. England are favorites to win this match and the odds for them to win are 1.72. West Indies do perform well in pressure situations and since this match requires them to win for the series to be alive I pick them as the winner of this match. The odds for the West Indies to win are 2.00. Evan Lewis is my pick to be the best batsmen for the West Indies and the odds for this event are 4.75. Jos Buttler is my top batsmen for England and the odds for this are 4.33. I picked Alzarri Joseph to be the best bowler for the West Indies and the odds for this event are 2.75. For England I am going to have two picks for best bowler and they are Adil Rashid and Saqib Mahmood. The odds for the former to be the best bowler are 3.75 and for the latter it’s 4.33.
