NWW vs LL Team Bet:

Mentioned below is the top team bet from the NWW vs LL head-to-head contest

Leinster Lightning to win

Leinster Lightning, the eight-time champions of the tournament which is going through its tenth edition, could have found themselves sitting at the top of the table if not for incessant rain which forced a draw in their last match against Northern Knights. The defending are placed second after a win and a loss each from their first three matches of the season. LL kicked off their season with a comfortable 7-wicket win over North-West Warriors, the same opponent they are to face on Monday. NWW were rolled over at a paltry total of 185. Experienced William Porterfield was the only Warriors batsman to score over 30 runs in the match. Ireland international and left-arm spinner George Dockrell wreaked havoc and ended with bowling figures of five for 24 in the match. Lightning's second match was against table-toppers Munster Reds who gunned down 305 in a high-scoring encounter. After losing their first two matches, North-West Warriors surprised one and all by bundling out Munster Reds for 90 to register their first victory of the season with a massive 145-run margin. However, their batting unit still looks exposed. In the match NWW could manage only 235 runs. In their last five encounters, NWW have scored in excess of 250 only once. If we talk about the last five encounters between the two teams, Leinster Lightning have won all of them. In fact, Warriors have not beaten Lightning ever in the tournament. With the likes of in-from batters Tim Tector, Harry Tector, George Dockrel and Andy Balbirnie -- Leinster Lightning are once again certain of keeping experienced Warriors bowlers at bay, and continuing their unbeaten run against the Andy McBrine-led side . Scoop on to Pari Match and place your bets on Leinster Lightning from the NWW vs LL head-to-head contest to earn lucrative returns.

NWW vs LL Player Bet:

Harry Tector and William Porterfield are my top two player betting tips for the NWW vs LL 7th match. Have a look at it for reaping the best returns.

Harry Tector to score over 25.5 runs

Harry Tector is the man of the moment for Leinster Lightning. The Ireland star scored 76 unbeaten runs against Warriors in the opening game and went a step further to slam 92 against Reds in the second. He was unbeaten after scoring three runs when rain played spoilsport in LL's last match against Knights. He is the second-highest run-scorer with 171 runs in three matches of the ongoing Cricket Ireland Inter-Provincial Limited Over Cup 2022. Munster Reds' Peter Moor is just 29 runs ahead of him. Harry entered the tournament on the back of some good vein of form during Ireland's ICC Men's T20 World Cup Qualifier A matches in Al Amerat. Harry Tector scored 50, 35 and 24* in his last three outings there. The 22-year-old featured in three ODIs against West Indies at the start of the year, scoring 53, 54* and 52. The Dublin-born, who has scored 670 runs and averages over 41 from his 20 ODIs for Ireland and 2002 runs at 40.04 in 64 List A games, is looking all set to score handsomely once again. It wouldn't be a surprise if Harry Tector brings up his 2nd List A hundred in the match against the North-West Warriors. Keep an eye out for Harry Tector on Pari Match from the NWW vs LL head-to-head contest.

William Porterfield to score over 26.5 runs

Former Ireland captain William Porterfield showed great class and experience in the previous edition of IP50. He scored a hundred and top-scored for his team with 258 runs in five matches at an average of 51.60. However, he is yet to find his feet in the 10th edition of Cricket Ireland Inter-Provincial Limited Over Cup. Porterfield top scored for his team with 44 runs against Leinster Lightning on May 3 but he took as many as 93 balls for it. In the next match against Northern Knights, he scored 13 off 33 balls. If this wasn't enough, William Porterfield got out on a 2-ball duck in the third match against Munster Reds. The 37-year-old was part of the Ireland squad which travelled to the West Indies in January this year but he was far from impressive. In the three matches, he got out on a duck twice. The left-hand batsman last scored a fifty against Zimbabwe in September 2021. The southpaw has an experience of over 200 international matches (3 Tests, 148 ODIs and 61 ODIs) and scored 5480 runs (58 in Tests, 4343 in ODIs and 1079 in T20I) but he appears to have crossed his prime and the runs might come slow and low against Munster Reds as well.
