The only T20I at Dubai, initiates the Australia's tour to Pakistan [UAE]. With Saeed Ajmal missing from the squad, Australians are favorites with the bookmakers.
As per BetVictor odds for the match Australians are @ 8/13, after the initial odds being @ 4/7. This is primarily because, Australians are having a slight shortage of players to choose the right combination of 11 players required. In fact they have only 10 players to choose the 11. In the 13 member squad announced 3 are occupied in CL T20. And Mitchell Marsh is ruled out because of an injury. Looks like only Cameron Boyce of Hobart Hurricanes will make it back. The backup resources must be picked from the ODI squad members.
I thought that the Australians had an excellent chance to win the match. But with Maxwell and Cummins unavailable and Pakistan holding the sub-continent advantage I'm not thoroughly convinced.
Going to use this match as an indicator for this series. Going with the favorites with small stakes, just because the Pakistani team's selection hasn't impressed me.
Tip
Australia @ 8/13 - 0.5 Units - BetVictor
