AUS vs PAK - WHO WILL SCORE MOST RUNS IN TODAY'S MATCH?

Updated At: 2024/11/16

After rain marred the series opener, both teams' batters are eager to shine on one of Australia's top batting tracks, the SCG. With a recent average first-innings score of 161 at the venue, matches have remained balanced—teams batting first have won 7 times, while chasing sides have claimed victory 6 times.

All eyes will be on the Pakistani batters on Saturday, after their self-implosion at GABBA, where they found themselves reeling at 24/6 in the chase. Given the inexperience in the batting lineup, Babar and Rizwan will once again be expected to lead the way. Meanwhile, Australia’s veterans shone in the first T20I, but now it's time for their young guns to prove their mettle.

Based on the nature of the surface and head-to-head stats, we have compiled a list of the following batters to come good in the T20I fixture. Also, we have provided the odds offered by the best cricket betting sites to these batters.

Sydney is one of the flattest surfaces in Australia. As a result, one expects more runs from the top order. Which brings us to Short and Babar ( averages over 50 vs. Australia) to score the maximum runs in this contest. Though, if Maxwell comes early, he for sure on form can create havoc in this AUS vs PAK contest.
