Fugitive leader Peshawar Zalmi defeated Quetta badly. It&#8217;s a question of how each team allows those matches to affect confidence.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, the Lahore victory can be dismissed as irrelevant. This snapped a three-match losing streak and the Pindies lost all seven. Quetta can agree that losing to the undefeated Zalmi is no disgrace. Before the match, they had given a huge defeat to Lahore by bowling them out for just 134 runs.<\/p>\n<p>The match odds market has not taken this into account. <b class=\"inline_odds\" title=\"4\/6\"><span class=\"inline_odds__main\">1.67<\/span><span class=\"inline_odds__tooltip\">4\/6<\/span><\/b>    Very brief about Lahore. Despite their pre-tournament fancy, they have been somewhat poor in terms of professionalism. <strong>There would be no point betting on them on such low numbers.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After the Karachi stage, the tournament has now moved back to Lahore for the final group matches and knockouts. It would be fair to assume that runs should be scored again after the break. It was a good batting track early in the competition.<\/p>\n<p>Eight of the 13 matches resulted in a score of 180 or more in the first innings. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ads.betfair.com\/redirect.aspx?pid=&amp;bid=9810&amp;redirecturl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.betfair.com%2Fsport%2Fhome%2F%3Fmodules%3Dbetslip%26action%3DaddAffiliateSelections%26bssId%3D8058813%26bsmId%3D924.514925786\">Then again, betting over 175.5 overs in the first dig is clearly a bet <b class=\"inline_odds\" title=\"1.84\"><span class=\"inline_odds__main\">5\/6<\/span><span class=\"inline_odds__tooltip\">1.84<\/span><\/b>    with sportsbook<\/a>. <\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h4><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.betfair.com\/exchange\/plus\/cricket\/market\/1.257041757\"><strong>Click here for Multan Sultans vs Rawalpindi Pindies odds<\/strong><\/a><strong><br \/><\/strong><strong>Tuesday 21 April, 15.00<br \/><\/strong><strong>TV: Live <\/strong><strong>willow\/tapmad\/saw<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">If Multan has to make it to the top two, it will have to maintain its dominance.
