NB vs OV Match 26 Predictions & Betting Tips

In the reverse fixture, Otago Volts will clash against Northern Brave in the 25th match of 2021-2022 the Ford Trophy which is scheduled to be played at Cobham Oval (New), Whangarei on February 20. I have collated the three best betting tips from the NB vs OV match prediction.

This will be the second time the sides will meet in the competition. In their previous meeting, Otago went in to bat first scoring a total of 139 runs and were dismissed at 40 overs. It was a piece of cake for Northern Brave who conquered the target in the 23rd over with 6 wickets remaining. Fisher picked 3 important Otago wickets to restrict them to a low total whereas Seifert’s innings of 51 runs helped the team to grab that victory. I have handpicked the best team and player bets for the upcoming NB vs OV head-to-head encounter. You should take a look at it.

NB vs OV Team Bets:

Let’s have a glance at the best team betting odds from the NB vs OV head-to-head match.

Northern Brave to win

Northern Brave had a fantastic campaign in the previous edition of the tournament. They managed to finish second in the table standings and went on to compete in the finals of the competition. This year around, they registered two wins while losing three games in the five matches they have played so far. They have 18 points including 4 points from their abandoned games. On the other hand, Otago have won two games while losing four matches while one of their games was cancelled. They are placed at the bottom of the table. The sides clashed earlier in the previous outing where NB completely outclassed OV in the game to register a 6 wicket victory. In the last five encounters between the teams, NB have won on three occasions while Otago bagged a single game. Moreover, the batting line-up of Northern Brave looks far better than the latter and will give them an edge over Otago in the league. NB will go in as match favourites for the NB vs OV head-to-head match. Visit Pari Match to retrieve the best odds for a good payday.

Northern Brave to face an early dismissal

Northern Brave are still struggling to find the balance in the competition. Although the deeper batting line-up of the team is decent, the opening duo failed to find the balance in the tournament so far. They faced early dismissals pretty early in all the games. NB scored 0, 18, 3, 4 and 32 runs before facing their 1st dismissal in the four games. Raval, one of the opening batters, has been fantastic with the bat but ducked out in the last game with no run on the NB’s scoresheet. Meanwhile Tim Seifert consistently batted poor knocks in the three innings he led. He scored 1,1 and 9 runs in the last three games with an average of 3.66 and struck out early on two occasions. Katene Clarke replaced Seifert in the opening batting line-up which proved to work in their previous outing but considering the past records, I have banked on to this betting tip. Considering the facts, Northern Brave are expected to remain consistent with the bat and suffer an early dismissal vs Otago in their second brawl.

NB vs OV Player Bets:

Considering Broom’s current batting form, I have picked him to score well for the best player betting tips from the NB vs OV match predictions.

Dale Phillips to score well

The 23 year old middle order batter from New Zealand plays for Otago in the Ford Trophy 2021/22. He is the brother of Glenn Phillips but failed to embark on anything considerable in the format. He has played a total of 401 runs in 19 List-A games with an average of 23.58. This does not bide well with the batter but works well with our betting tip. In the previous season of the Ford Trophy, he managed to score 200 runs in the 8 games he batted in with an average of 28.57. This seemed decent but coming into this tournament, it has not been a pleasant ride for Phillips. He managed to score 98 runs in 5 innings he batted in at an average of 19.60. He scored 33, 43, 0, 6 and 16 runs in the five games he played which determines his low yielding form in the competition. Considering all the facts, it is imperative for Phillips to strike out early in the reverse fixture against Auckland.
