Otago vs Canterbury Chance of Winning
Canterbury kicked off their campaign with an impressive win against Wellington but have failed to reach those heights since. Canterbury have lost three games in the row heading into this fixture. In the last game, Wellington avenged their loss, Wellington posted 247 runs on the scoreboard and Canterbury failed to chase down the target and eventually lost the game by 55 runs.

After pulling off a stunning upset against Auckland in the season opener, Otago has failed to win each of the last three games and are currently fourth on the table. In the last game, Otago were overpowered by Central Districts as they lost the game by 82 runs. As per our calculations, Otago are slight favourites in this upcoming fixture.

Otago vs Canterbury Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Matthew Boyle’s struggles have continued this season. After averaging 4.16 runs in the last campaign, Boyle once again failed to show up this year and his form has been a cause of concern for Canterbury. After scoring 47 against Central Districts and 34 against Auckland, it felt he might have turned a corner but that wasn’t the case as he failed to show up in the last game and scored 11 against Wellington which makes us believe Boyle would struggle to score well in the upcoming game.
We are going to back Dean Foxcroft once again as he was one of few batsmen in the line up who ended up with a double figure score in what was an awful display by Otago against the defending champions Central Districts. So far in this tournament, Foxcroft has scored 18, 62 and 15. Even though he is yet to convert his starts into a match winning score, we believe he would come good in the upcoming game and would score well for Otago.

Invercargill has hosted just one ODI game in the past which was won by the chasing team. We expect cloudy weather conditions especially at the start and with low temperatures, we believe both sides would prefer to bowl first at the venue.

Otago vs Canterbury Betting Odds
Canterbury to have a better opening partnership than Otago
Canterbury and Otago have had a disappointing start to the season as both sides have struggled to compete thus far. Canterbury won the opening game of the season and since then have lost three back to back games heading into this fixture. Otago, much like their opponents are winless in the last three games but are above Canterbury in the standings as the game against Northern KNights got suspended and points were shared. Even though Canterbury have been second best in games, one of the biggest positives for them has been the form of their openers who have more often than not provided good start in games. In the last four matches, Canterbury has managed an opening stand of 20, 87, 61 and 25. What makes this tip even more enticing is the fact in three of the four matches, Canterbury had a better opening stand than their opponents. On the other hand, Otago managed a opening partnership of 80 runs in the opening game, since then they have had an opening stand of 7 and 14 and in both games they conceded a bigger opening stand which makes us believe Canterbury would have a better opening stand in the game.

Otago vs Canterbury Top Team Batters
Thorn Parkes to be Otago’s top batter
Otago batsmen failed to turn up in the last game as they were bowled out 154. Even on an off day, Thorn Parkes managed to score 26 and with 155 runs has been one of the most consistent batsmen for Otago this season. We believe Parkes would play a major role in the upcoming game which makes him our top pick for the upcoming fixture.
Chad Bowes to be Canterbury’s top batter
Chad Bowes form has been the shining light in what has been a grim season for Canterbury thus far. He has been one of the most consistent batsmen in the tournament. In the four innings so far, Bowes has scored 26, 36, 34 and 47 which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Otago vs Canterbury Top Team Bowlers
Travis Muller to be Otago’s top bowler
Much like their opponents, Otago bowlers have struggled for consistency in this tournament. Travis Muller is the only bowler for Otago who has taken a wicket in every game thus far. In the last game, Muller ended up with 3/25 which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
William O’Rourke to be Canterbury’s top bowler
They haven’t been a standout bowler for Canterbury in this tournament which is one of the reasons why they have struggled thus far. William O’Rourke has brilliant in the last game against Wellington as he ended up with 3/34 which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
