Markhors vs Lions
In Champions One-Day Cup competition, today top rank squad Markhors and bottom rank squad Lions both were joined for clash in 8th match. Before the start of this match I believe that lions squad will lost this eight match easily because against squad is very strong and their squad performance in previous matches were super amazing and beated all other sqauds. But lions squad proved me incorrect by emerging victory with huge scores target. Lions squad begun this match first with batting Inning and their sqaud members managed 367 scores in target and this was the big target in this competition and their squad made a record. Markhors squad played their batting inning under the pressure of big scores and at end, they faced defeat and achieved 332 scores. With the support and partnership in batting of these batters Khushdil Shah and Irfan Khan today lion squad succeeded to secure victory and both managed 73 and 100 scores respectively.
Lions (Pakistan) won that match as they made such a big total of 367 runs and even when Markhors (Pakistan) made 332 runs, they still lost the match by 35 runs. They have such a strong batting line and Abdullah Shafique, Irfan Khan, Imam-ul-Haq and everyone seems to be in good form.
Now today Panthers (Pakistan) will take on Stallions (Pakistan) in the 9th match of the Champions One-Day Cup. Stallions is a stronger team as they won the two matches out of three played and also they are on the 2nd spot on the points table. But when we see how the Panthers played and won the last two matches, it gives you a lot of confusion as to who we can bet.
Anything can happen in today's game and the odds are also interesting for this match. Both teams' odds are good, however choosing Panthers will give us a little over 2 odds, which is best provided Panthers wins the game too.
Yesterday, Stallions (Pakistan) was bowling first, they had the target of 344 runs that was really high and in the Panthers innings, we have seen one and half century by Saim Ayub as he made 156 runs that led the Panthers through the win.
When Stallions came to bat, they had not done a good start. This time, Yasir Khan was not playing who opened the game and playing with slow mode which was I think good for the team because Yasir was just wasting the important balls. Then Muhammad Haris and Shan Masood opened the game and they both can make the good run for the team. Then Babar Azam was the last hope but he too was out early on five runs then later Tayyab Tahir made 100 that helped to Stallions and reach close to the win but couldn’t.
