Sam Konstas would feature in this game as he travelled from Sri Lanka prior to this game. Konstas did not have a great game in the last outing as he scored three in the first innings which makes us believe he will score low in the upcoming game.

Marcus Harris scored 27 in the first innings but struggled in the second innings. He has been consistent so far and has scored 473 runs in six matches which makes us believe he will score well in the upcoming game.

New South Wales vs Victoria Betting Odds

Victoria to have a better opening partnership than New South Wales

Victoria takes on last year’s finalist New South Wales head into this game after both sides have had contrasting campaigns thus far. New South Wales have dominated ODIs this season but they have struggled to make an impact in first class cricket as they have just two wins in seven matches and are currently fifth on the table. On the other hand Victoria have been brilliant so far in this campaign as they have 28 points in seven matches and are currently second on the table. New South Wales needed a run in the final three matches to make the finals this season. Both teams went head to head earlier this season and Victoria dominated the game. They also had a better opening partnership in the game which makes us believe they would once again end up with a better opening stand in the upcoming game.

Favorites to win

New South Wales

Victoria were brilliant in the first half of the campaign but have struggled since as they have lost back to back games. New South Wales have won two of the last four matches which is probably why the bookmakers have favoured New South Wales and you should do the same as New South Wales will register their third win in this campaign.
