Otago vs Auckland Chance of Winning

Otago had a dismal campaign last season as they struggled for consistency throughout the campaign. Otago only won two games in the group stages and were knocked out of the tournament. This season Otago got off to a great start as they beat Canterbury by 10 runs in the opening game.

Auckland had a brilliant campaign last season as they went all the way and were crowned champions. Auckland dominated the group stages which is probably why they were crowned champions as they have a better record than Canterbury. As per our calculations, Auckland are favourites in the upcoming game.

Max Chu has been one of the most impressive batsmen for Otago prior to this series. In the opening game Chu scored 82 off 46 balls which makes us believe he will score well in the upcoming game.

Sean Solia has been one of the most consistent batters for Auckland heading into this campaign. Even though Solia did not have a great campaign last season, we believe the Auckland skipper will score well in the upcoming game.

Otago vs Auckland Betting Odds

Otago to have a better opening partnership than Auckland

Otago and Auckland head into this fixture after a contrasting campaign last season. Auckland had a phenomenal run last term as they had just two losses in the group stages and ended up at the top of the table. The final game against Canterbury was called off due to rain but since Auckland had better results in the group stages they were crowned champions. On the other hand, Otago struggled to make an impact as they managed just two wins and ended up fifth on the table. Both sides went head to head twice in the group stages and both teams managed to share the spoils. What makes this tip so enticing is the fact in two of the three matches Auckland has conceded a bigger opening partnership which makes us believe Otago will have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
