Victoria vs Queensland Betting Tips
Queensland to score high before 1st dismissal in 1st innings
Queensland has a solid batting line-up in the team where multiple batters are chipping in their share to the team’s score in hope for the best outcome. Bryce Street and Matt Renshaw open for the team currently and have led promising innings in the four games they have played. They posted the scores of 56, 139, 6 & 40 runs before their first dismissals in their 1st innings of the four games. Renshaw looks impeccable with the bat and Street has been giving his equal support in the opening partnership. Street and Renshaw average at 22.85 & 42.85 in the competition. Moreover, the pair led one of the best opening partnerships of 139 runs against Victoria in their clash earlier this season. This indicates their comfort and the inability of Victoria bowlers to stop them. That said, Queensland are expected to score high before their first dismissal in the upcoming contest.
