Boland vs Dolphins Betting Odds
Dolphins to have a better opening partnership than Boland
Dolphins and Boland head into this fixture in contrasting form as on one hand Boland have lost each of the first two games thus far and would be looking for first points on the table in the upcoming game and on the other hand, Dolphins managed to turn things around and two defeats in the first two matches as they beat Lions with four wickets to spare. One of the main areas where Boland has struggled is the fact they have failed to get a good start in games. In the two matches thus far, Boland has managed an opening stand of 12 in both games and in both fixtures they conceded a bigger opening partnership. In the last game, Dolphins finally managed to hit the ground running as they outclassed Lions and had a better opening partnership on the day which makes us believe Dolphins would have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
