Match Prediction & Tips
- Pick 1: Over 2.5 fours Shaw 4/5* & Dhawan 8/13*
Shaw’s odds are excellent value when you consider that he averages nearly 5 fours and innings. Dhawan is shorter but cannot be ignored in his current form and his average of 5.28 fours per game.
You can also get 2.4 on them both to hit over 3 fours as a combined bet.
- Pick 2: Dhawan & Rahul both to hit over 25 runs 2.5*
Both in form players and easily capable of hitting this.
