Victoria vs Western Australia 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 Nic Maddinson open for the team currently. Harris and Maddinson average at 32.00 & 70.4 respectively in the competition. The opening pair of the team posted the scores of 108, 0, 0, 51, 7, 1, 85, 114 & 12 runs before their first dismissal in the first innings of the nine 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 few outings. In their last game against Tasmania, Victoria’s opening partnership lasted for 12 runs in the 1st innings but the opening pair collected 178 runs in the second innings. The sides met earlier this season where Victoria scored 108 runs before their first dismissal. That said, Victoria are expected to score high before their first dismissal in the next game.

Victoria vs Western Australia Toss Prediction

The pitch at Junction Oval boasts a consistent and even bounce, which should boost the confidence of the batters. While the initial phases of the game might favour the fast bowlers with some movement off the surface, the true nature of the pitch becomes evident as the match progresses. Once the batters settle in, the bowlers could find it challenging to secure crucial wickets. The captain winning the toss is likely to field first keeping the past record of the venue in mind.

Weather Report

We expect rain in the last two days of the game. The temperatures during the game will hover around 33 degree Celsius.
