New South Wales vs Victoria Betting Tips

Victoria to score high before 1st dismissal in 1st innings

Victoria may have a stellar batting unit including their openers. Marcus Harris and Will Pucovski opened for the team earlier. Pucovski averaged at 21.00 and was replaced by various other batters to produce better results. Finally, the team arrived at Harris and Nic Maddinson to open for the team. Harris and Maddinson average at 29.09 & 62.50 respectively in the competition. The opening pair of the team posted the scores of 108, 0, 0, 51, 7, 1 & 85 runs before their first dismissal in the first innings of the seven games so far. They have had a poor opening partnership in most of the games but things are looking to change as evident from their last outing. Nic Maddinson is an excellent choice to open the innings and scored 104 runs in his first innings of the last game. The sides have not met earlier this season but Victoria will be exploiting the loose bowling displayed by NSW bowlers lately. That said, Victoria are expected to score high before their first dismissal in the next game.
