On the other hand, Otago have had a dismal campaign thus far as they remain the only winless team in this campaign. Otago need to turn things around as in the last match they were outplayed by Canterbury as they lost the game by five wickets. As per our calculations, Otago are favourites in the upcoming game.

Wellington vs Otago Betting Odds

Otago to have a better opening partnership than Wellington

Otago and Wellington head into this game after both sides have struggled to make an impact in the first half of the campaign. Otago remains the only team in this tournament yet to bag a single win thus far, they have two draws and two losses in four matches and are currently sixth on the table. On the other hand Wellington have one win in four matches and have two defeats and are currently fourth on the table. Both teams need to turn things around to have a chance of winning the championship this season. What makes this tip so enticing is the fact even with all the struggles Otago have had a better opening partnership in each of the last two matches which makes us believe they would once again end up with a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
