Here are four T20 World Cup betting tips for India v Pakistan in Melbourne on Sunday.

Pakistan vs India betting tips & odds

Highest opening partnership: Pakistan

Pakistan’s opening partnership of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan is fundamental to their success, putting on at least 29 in eight of their last 12 completed partnerships.

With India missing Jasprit Bumrah, Pakistan’s top-heavy approach has every chance of paying off again.

Rishabh Pant to score over 16.5 runs

Pant has scored at least 17 in six of his last seven T20 international innings.

He scored 39 in the match against Pakistan at last year’s World Cup.

Arshdeep Singh to be India’s top wicket-taker

With Bumrah missing, this market is wide open.

Arshdeep has been in good form in this format, taking 11 wickets in his last six outings over the last couple of months.

Haris Rauf to be Pakistan’s top wicket-taker

Rauf’s form has been excellent coming into this competition, particularly at the death.

He has taken at least two wickets in five of his last seven T20s, a tally that would put him right in contention in this market.
