Otago did well in their bowling department but their batters failed to do their bid in most of their games last season. They will look to start on a positive note in the upcoming fixture.

Northern Districts vs Otago Betting Tips

Northern Districts to score high before their 1st dismissal

Northern Districts finished third in the points table with a spectacular feat in the batting order. ND had exciting batting talents in the team starting from their opening line-up including Jeet Raval & Henry Cooper. Raval & Cooper averaged at 42.86 and 34.18 in the competition and are expected to carry their batting forms into this fixture. In their last three games, they scored 53, 36 & 36 runs before their first dismissal in the 1st innings. In their previous meeting with Otago, ND scored 5 runs before their 1st dismissal in the 1st innings. However, the duo retaliated in the later innings as they scored 55 runs for the first wicket. The team is very likely to lead an expensive opening partnership in the upcoming game.

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 Northern Districts, Otago scored no runs before their 1st dismissal in the 1st innings of the game. Rutherford was in poor form last year and experienced multiple cheap dismissals. That said, it is safe to put your money in the betting tip to make a bonus.
