Australia heavy favourites

Favourites Australia are 1.40 to win this match and continue their strong start to the Cricket World Cup. The Aussies sit fourth in the table, having won two of their opening three games.

 

 

That sole defeat came against India, who rattled the Aussies with a huge 352 run haul that was easily defended at The Oval. Fast-forward three days and Australia arrive in Taunton seeking a routine win over Pakistan side whose campaign is yet to get fully underway.

Pakistan lost to the West Indies in their opening game but beat hosts England by 14 runs at Trent Bridge, sparking hope they could well make a challenge for the World Cup here. Frustratingly, their match with Sri Lanka was a wash-out, meaning they have some catching up to do.

Australia are 1.40 to win Wednesday’s match, with Pakistan 3.00. That’s a good price for the latter, considering they have already rattled England this summer! And remember, you can bet and watch the cricket live stream simply by logging in to your Unibet account or signing up today!

Top run scorer betting

Steve Smith and David Warner are the current favourites at 6.00 apiece to be the top run scorer in this match. Smith is currently averaging 53 runs per game at this World Cup and is proving once again to be a very reliable man at the crease. And Warner himself has averaged 48 runs per innings across the tournament so far.

 

 

These two provide the backbone to Australia’s batting order and Pakistan will hope to target them with some mean spin on Wednesday. But neither player should be overly troubled by conditions in Taunton, even if it’s cloudy and blustery.

Babar Azam is 7.00 to top score and he’s also been on stellar form for Pakistan. Averaging 43 runs per match so far, the 24-year-old will need to set the early pace for Pakistan if they are to keep up with the Aussies.

Top wicket taker

Mitchell Starc already boasts seven wickets for the Cricket World Cup and is 6.50 to be the top bowler on Wednesday. Starc is averaging 21.57 runs per wicket — and is actually proving quite costly for Australia compared to the other top wicket takers of this tournament so far.

 

 

Yet the paceman can deliver wickets and that is what is important in ODI cricket. Expect Starc to blitz through this Pakistan top order, even if there is initial resistance to the 29-year-old.
