Australia are 4/11 favourites to beat Pakistan in the one-off one-day international at Lord's on Saturday. Pakistan are 2/1 outsiders.
Matthew Hayden is 10/3 favourite to top-score for Australia, closely followed by Ricky Ponting at 7/2. Andrew Symonds (15/2) and Michael Clarke (9/1) are both attractively priced outsiders in this market.
For Pakistan, bet365 rate the opener Yasir Hameed - recently in great form - as the favourite to top-score at 7/2, ahead of the vastly experienced Yousuf Youhana (4/1) and skipper Inzaman-ul-Haq (4/1). Shahid Afridi is the outstanding bet in this market - the big-hitting opener is an eye-catching 8/1. And, given Afridi's allround pretensions, punters could also look at him in the Man of the Match market. He is 16/1.
Lord's has been a batsman's paradise this year, and the Man of the Match market reflects that. Matthew Hayden and Ricky Ponting are 15/2 favourites.
