Afghanistan 3.25
SUGGESTED BETS:
- Match Top Wicket Taker – Marco Jansen 6.50
Jansen began slowly against Canada but he improved in his second spell grabbing 2 wickets. He managed to extract bounce from the wickets and will be a handful for the Afghanistan batsman.
- Match Total Sixes under 15.5 at 1.91
This is a big ground and all it takes is for the team that bats 1st to struggle and this will be a big runner.
- Match Top Batsman Ryan Rickelton at 8.00
Rickelton looked in good nick against Canada and coming in at 3 is assured of time at the crease. You could make a strong case for a number of players and it is his price that appeals.
