PAK vs AUS 1st Test Day 5 Predictions & Betting Tips

Pakistan and Australia are playing the 𓆏first Test of the three-match series at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The final day of this game is upon us and whoever thought that the Aussies are not going to last until Day 5, well, you have been proven wrong already. I bet that the Australians will be just fine taking that draw home tomorrow. While these two teams are at it, let me present to you the top three betting tips from the last day of the 🅺PAK vs AUS 1st head-to-head clash.

The Day 4 of this ongoing Test match started way too late as the rain hit Rawalpindi early morning today. Then the start of the day was further delayed because of the wet outfield. How꧅ever, Labuschagne and Smith started the day really well and were moving quite nicely towards the score achieved by Pakistan in the first innings. But Labuschagne was dismissed for a well made 90 and he was soon followed by Travis Head, who was one of the two batsmen from that Australian top six (Cameron Green was the other one) to not reach that 50-run mark. Smith got out after scoring 78 runs as well. Mitchell Starc and skipper Pat Cummins are in the middl൲e with Australia just 27 runs behind. Australia will start with 449/7 tomorrow morning and we will begin with looking at the top betting tips from the PAK vs AUS 1st Test Day 5 head-to-head encounter.

PAK vs AUS 1st Test Day 5 Player Bets:

Now that this is a dead-rubber day🦋 of this game, the most we can get out of them are the player markets from th💎e PAK vs AUS 1st Test Day 5 predictions.

Pat Cummins to score under 18.5 runs

The Australian Test captain Pat Cummins remained unbeaten at the end of Day 4 in Rawalpindi. Batting with just 4 runs against his name, Cummins is expected to depart early in the first half of the day tomorrow. It is because Cummins has featured in three matches against Pakistan and has scored just 11 runs at a very poor average of 11.00. Overall, he has played 39 Test matches and has scored 784 runs at an average of 16.33. In the ongoing calendar year, the Australian skipper has played 3 matches and has added just 43 runs to his tally at an ordinary average of 14.33. As the captain of this Aussie team, he has been maintaining a batting average of 15.20. In the ICC World Test Championship, Cummins has been maintaining an average of 11.63 with the bat. The Pari Match website is offering odds of 1.87 for Pat Cummins to score under 18.5 runs in the PAK vs AUS 1st Test Day 5 match prediction.

Mitchell Starc to score under 27.5 runs

Next up, we have the other Australian pacer, Mitchell Starc, who is batting alongside Pat Cummins at the moment. He too should not meet the market required demands tomorrow and I have reasons to consolidate and justify my statement. Starc has played 67 Test matches in his career up until now and has scored 1763 runs at an average of 23.19. In 9 matches against Pakistan, the left-handed batter has scored 192 runs at an average of 21.33. In the ongoing calendar year, the Australian star pacer has been scoring at 25.00 with the bat. Batting at number 8 for Australia in the longest format of the game, Starc has scored 464 runs with the bat at an average of 20.17. All of these stats are indicative of the fact that Mitchell Starc is going to get out early tomorrow. Therefore, head over to the Pari Match website to bet against Mitchell Starc for odds of 1.87 in the PAK vs AUS 1st Test Day 5 match prediction.

PAK vs AUS 1st Day 5 Test Team Bet:

However, I have managed to unearth one amazin🦩g team market and the most lucrative one from the rest of the lot. Let us take a look at that:

Australia to score under 496.5 runs in the 1st innings

In order to end this piece fairly and to make it a profitable Tuesday for you, I had to make an effort to find this market and I hope you will give equal weightage to the points I am about to mention in this particular paragraph. Australia are currently 449 for the loss of 7 wickets and they lost their last three wickets in a span of 37 runs. Therefore I don’t think they are going to last long tomorrow morning. It is because the last time Australia scored more than 500 runs in the first innings of a Test match was back in 2019 November and guess what, the Kangaroos scored those two mammoth 500-plus innings against Pakistan but it was back in Australia. This means, they have not been able to score more than 496 runs in nine consecutive Test matches spanning over 3 long years. In the last three Test matches, Australia have definitely failed to achieve that as well. The last time when Australia was in Pakistan, that was 24 years ago and that record cannot be considered in the current time. Pari Match is offering fantastic odds of 1.87 for Australia to score under 496.5 runs in the PAK vs AUS 1st Test Day 5 match prediction.

Pat Cummins to score under 18.5 runs - @ 1.87 (Pari Match)
