Central Districts vs Otago Betting Tips

Otago to score low before 1st dismissal

Otago are having a dismal season in the competition. They have a poor line-up of openers in the team. The team could not decide upon their openers. The line-up revolves around Jacob Cumming, Thorn Parkes and Dale Phillips. They average at 17.28, 28.27 & 41.69 respectively in the competition. Otago has scored 4, 21, 82, 3 & 9 runs before their 1st dismissal in the first innings of the last five games. The opening partnerships are not looking good. Cumming has failed to establish impactful innings in the competition and will be expected to keep on with his poor form. That said, Otago is expected to lose an early wicket in the next game.
