Bahrain vs Hong Kong Betting Odds
Bahrain to score under 21.5 runs before their first dismissal
In the five matches that Bahrain played, their opening partnerships yielded the following runs before the first wicket fell: 42, 0, 0, 26, and 9 runs. In three of these five games, Bahrain couldn't surpass the 21.5-run mark before losing their first wicket. In the most recent match, Imran Ali and Umer Toor opened the innings, with both players contributing 6 runs each. Given these statistics, it would be a prudent choice to consider a bet on Bahrain scoring fewer than 21.5 runs before their first wicket falls in the upcoming game.
