My betting thoughts for todays PSL game
Islamabad United v Karachi Kings
Karachi Kings need to win this game, having lost all 6 of their previous matches they will need to pull it out of the bag today. Islamabad have won 3 of their 6 games, losing to Quetta Gladiators in their last fixture after a poor bowling attack allowed the Gladiators to chase down their respectable 199 score with a couple of balls to spare.
The second half of the series is being played at The Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, the average first innings score here is 166 although for the games this year it has increased to 179. Historically this is a bat second ground with just over 60% of teams bowling first taking the win, however 16 out of the last 20 fixtures have been won by the team batting second.
Islamabad United have lost opening batter Paul Striling to international duty so this leaves them a little weak especially in the middle order, they will be relying on Alex Hales and Colin Munro although at the tail end they do have Faheem Ashraf who had a good knock against Quetta Gladiators on Saturday posting a respectable 55 off 28 balls with five 4’s and four 6’s.
Karachi Kings do have some power in their batting line up including Babar Azam who has had a good time with the bat this series, Joe Clarke and Ian Cockbain have struggled so far but both had a good run in the BBL so will need to step up today to give the Karachi Kings any hope.
With regards to bowlers Islamabad have the series leading wicket taker in Shadab Khan, other than a pretty average showing from Umaid Asif both teams are a little lacking in attack.
1st innings average score - 166
1st innings highest score - 2112nd innings average score - 154
2nd innings highest score - 217Bat first win 38%
Bat second win 62%Islamabad United Top Batter - Alex Hales (Back Islamabad Match Odds)
Islamabad United Top wicket Taker - Shadab Khan (Lay Karachi Kings Match Odds)Match Odds Market - will look to lay Karachi Kings in play

@stuart-wallace yes if you bet "no" on it being a tied match you'd have lost. That's correct.
Bookies often void bets if the outcome was "impossible" according to the market. Cricket matches are like the Draw No Bet football markets.
-
@matt-ayles cheers Matt . I assume if you were in the Tied match market then you would have lost?
-
@stuart-wallace yes all stakes refunded, but as i had greened both sides of the market that was quite disappointing.
I do work in the industry so the decision is very typical but none the less, a good days work undone.
Nothing lost however.
-
what happens with bets in Tied match if not in Tied match market? refunded ? or lost?
-
Inexperience telling but i was most disappointed to see my trades on this mornings match voided.

so, from here on, only poss trade might be large lay on Oz at 1.03, and hope for some SL resistance.
it was at 1.04, i was waiting for it to drop one more tick, then it zoomed up to 1.1 so didnt get it.

WTF

1.18 Lahore Qalandars already, surely there’s enough time in 19 overs to bring that price up a little

anyone watching how selfish Babar and Clarke are
