Australia v India 2nd T20I – Betting Tips and Predictions

Here are more cricket betting tips free of charge from our team of experts. These predictions are based on the generous odds offered by the best Indian cricket betting sites.

Bet on Kohli and Rahul to Hit at Least 25 Runs Each

Virat Kohli’s stint in Australia will come to an end relatively soon. He’s heading back to India to be with his pregnant wife and wants to sign off in style.

KL Rahul has carried his star performances in the IPL 2020 to the limited-overs tour of Australia. His half-century was vital to victory in the first match.

22Bet are synonymous for great accumulator outcomes. This one has Kohli and Rahul priced at 2.95 to strike at least 25 runs each. This could bring good value.

Choose Chahal to Be India’s Top Bowler

Chahal wasn’t originally meant to play in the first match, but he got a late go amid Ravindra Jadeja’s absence due to concussion.

Chahal then proceeded to pitch in with three key wickets. He will probably be kept in the XI and could benefit from the spin-friendly conditions in Sydney.

The leg-spinner was poor in the recent ODI series against the Aussies, but the first T20I showed why he was a superb player in the IPL. Chahal looking good to be India’s top bowler again at 3.5 with Funbet.

Make Maxwell Your Man of the Match

Maxwell had a relatively quiet Indian Premer League, but has come into his own again since putting an Australia jersey back on.

His switch-hitting has picked up some criticism, but remains a great option. He might have to weigh in with the ball in Agar’s absence.

His recent form and ongoing role with both bat and ball make him a solid pick for the player of the match. 1xBet have priced Maxwell at 11.0 for this.
