Canterbury vs Otago Betting Tips
Otago to score low before their 1st dismissal
Otago’s opening line-up revolved around Hamish Rutherford, Thorn Parkes and Jacob Cumming who averaged at 12.85, 37.78 & 28.22 respectively in the previous season. The opening partnership lasted for 0, 6, 40, 21 & 10 runs before their 1st dismissal in the 1st innings of their last five games of previous season. In their previous meeting against Canterbury, Otago scored 40 & 14 runs before their 1st dismissal in the game. This season, Jacob Cumming was accompanied by Luke Georgeson in the opening line-up and failed to put up a high score in the first game. The pair were dismissed cheaply in both the innings and scored 16 & 10 before their first dismissals in those innings. That said, this is a lucrative betting tip from the upcoming fixture.
