Victoria vs South Australia Betting Tips

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

Victoria may have a stellar bowling unit, but their batting has not been up to the mark in the competition. The team mainly rely on their bowling order to pull off the victories. Marcus Harris and Will Pucovski opened for the team earlier. Pucovski averaged at 21.00 and was replaced by Travis Dean in the opening position. Harris and Dean average at 31.33 & 23.80 respectively in the competition. The opening pair of the team posted the scores of 108, 0, 0, 51, 7 & 1 run before their first dismissal in the first innings of the six games so far. They have had a poor opening partnership in most of the games so far and South Australia will be looking to exploit that opportunity. The sides met earlier this season where Victoria could only manage 1 run before Travis Dean lost his wicket. That said, Victoria are expected to lose an early wicket in the next game.

The pitch’s dependable and uniform bounce adds to the confidence of the batsmen.
