Featured Tip from James Bartman

Pick Details

Sport / league:: International ODI Cricket
Event / fixture:: Australia v Pakistan - 1st ODI
Event date: Fri, 13 Jan 2017 at 2:20 PM
Market:: Head-to-head
Tip:: Australia @ 1.26 (Pinnacle)
Tip Result:: Win

The weather forecast for Brisbane on Friday is partly cloudy with a chance of a shower, so the likelihood is strong that we will see a completed match.

The last time these two sides met in an ODI was a one-sided affair in the World Cup quarter-finals at Adelaide Oval in 2015. Pakistan were bowled out in the 49th over, setting Australia a target of 214 to win. Australia reached the target in just the 34th over.

In 2014 the two sides played a 3-game series on neutral ground, which Australia won 3-0.

The main reason I am backing Australia here is because they have won 21 of their last 22 home ODIs dating back to November 19, 2014.
