Auckland Aces vs Otago Volts match prediction 16 Feb 2020

We are down to the final match of the Ford Trophy this season, with Auckland and Otago fighting for the coveted trophy. I am already feeling the thrills of this high-voltage match and with it scheduled to be played this Sunday, there’s nothing more we could have wanted. But, we can help you kick the Monday blues by making some money from this match. I have already handpicked the best deal from the market. Just go through the paragraphs below and place invest on the bets to make your Sunday a fruitful one – financially.

Neil Broom to shine for Otago with the bat

I am aware that you are tired of coming across the same bet altogether, but I can’t help it, such are the ability of this man. In the last five matches, Broom has scored a total of 235 runs at an average of 47 runs per innings, including a century and two half-tons. In the last five matches, his record is even better, having racked up a total of 258 runs at a rate of 51.6 runs per innings. He got into double figures once and crossed the 50-run mark twice in the above-mentioned instances and was also the top batsman twice. If you think that’s all, think again.

Let me inform you that in the last three head to head matches he played against Auckland he scored a total of 166 runs at an average of 55.3 runs per innings which includes two fifties and was the best batsman for his team in each of those occasions. The right-hander is the third-highest run-scorer this season having piled up a total of 432 runs in just 9 matches at an average of 48 runs per innings and a top score of 112 including two centuries and three fifties. If you still haven’t placed the bet, you are wasting a golden opportunity.

Ben Lister is the highest wicket-taker this season

If there’s one single performer who has taken the tournament by storm, it is definitely Ben Lister. And with the odds as high as 3.60 offered by Bet 365, I bet we are very lucky after all. In the last four matches, Lister has taken a total of 12 wickets at a rate of three wickets per match, his figures being – 2/73, 6/51, 2/50, 2/32. As visible, he has picked at least two wickets in each of those matches and was also the pick of the bowlers in one of them. In the last three head to head matches he played against Otago, Lister scalped five wickets and was also the top bowler in one of the games.

This year, the bowler featured in five home matches and luckily for us, he has been in top form in those matches having picked up 10 wickets at a rate of two wickets per match and was also the pick of the bowler twice. Overall, he is the highest wicket-taker this season with 23 scalps from 10 matches at an average of 19.26 which also includes two five-wicket hauls. I hope there’s not even a hint of doubt on why you should not invest on this bet.

Auckland’s top batsman - Jeet Raval

Wait, wait, and wait. Do not rush into conclusions; I know that you are not convinced with my pick considering the fact the team also has the likes of Martin Guptill and Colin Munro, but I have my reasons too. In the last five matches, Raval has scores read – 51, 7, 118, 30, 60, having scored a total of 266 runs at an average of 53.2 runs per innings and was the top scorer in two of those matches. At home, the southpaw has played two matches and scored a total of 90 runs at a rate of 45 per innings. Even though he played just five matches this season, he has not failed to show his class.

Let me inform you that in the last match he played against Otago, Raval scored 51 runs and was also the top scorer for his team. Overall, Raval has scored a century and two fifties this season, which proves his consistency, unlike his teammates who have been very inconsistent. This is a bet which ought to bring you money this weekend.
