Titans will lock horns with Knights in the final game of the league stage at the SuperSport Park in Centurion on Sunday.
We are the business end of the Momentum ODI Cup 2020 and here I am with the betting tips for the last game before the semi-finals kick off. Dolphins and Lions are already through to the final four of the tournament, but this encounter is of utmost importance as it could well decide one of the remaining semi-finalists. Titans are on 18 points and Knights are on 17, and Warriors are in the third position with 19 points. For both Titans and Knights to make it to the semis, they need nothing but a win in the forthcoming fixture. While we are in for an enthralling encounter on Sunday, I have gathered three of the best markets to bet on from this match. Don’t worry, these markets do not carry Corona (COVID - 19) Virus, so it is pretty safe! Shall we get going?
This is a virtual knockout clash between the Titans and the Knights for a place in the semifinals. But when it comes to having a better opening partnership, it seems that the Titans have their noses in front. In the nine matches played this season, the Titans have scored 280 runs for the opening stand at an average of 31.11 and have conceded 374 runs for the opening stand at an average of 41.56. With two washed out matches, the Knights have scored 256 runs in the remaining seven matches at an average of 36.57 and have conceded 184 runs. The Titans have scored more runs for the opening stand in five of their nine matches. While the Knights have outscored their opponents for the opening stand in just three matches. In the last five head to head matches, the Titans have outscored the Knights for the opening stand on all five occasions. With Bet 365 offering odds of 1.72 for Titans to have a better opening partnership, it is highly unlikely that you will end up losing this bet.
Tony de Zorzi has played 45 List A matches and has scored 1426 at an average 36.56 including three centuries and seven half centuries. In the ongoing season of the Momentum One Day Cup, he is the team’s leading run getter scoring 418 runs in nine matches at an average of 46.44 including one century and two half centuries with a highest score of 137 against the Warriors at Benoni. Out of the nine matches, de Zorzi has scored more than 30 runs in five matches. The last time Zorzi played at this venue against the Dolphins he ended up scoring 35 runs. And also in the last five matches, de Zorzi has scored 225 runs at an average of 45.00. The form he is in and also taking his career stats into account, he is likely to score more than 30 runs against the Knights. Dafabet is offering odds of 1.87 for De Zorzi to score more than 30.5 runs and this could well be your day!
The Knights’ leading run scorer, Andries Gous has scored 301 runs in seven matches at a pretty good average of 60.20 along with one century and one half century. In a career span of 54 List A matches, he has scored 1782 runs at a decent average of 37.91. He has managed to cross the 50 run mark in 12 innings, while converting three of them into triple digits. He has managed to score 163* against the Titans in the reverse fixture this season, which is his highest score as well. The Knights had one washed out game in the last five matches and in those many matches, Gous piled up 266 runs at a jaw-dropping average of 88.67. In the last three head to head matches against the Titans, Gous has notched up 257 runs (163*, 60, 34) and as you can see that all his scores are over 26 runs. Dafabet is offering generous odds of 1.87 for Gous to score over 26.5 runs and considering the form he is in and his numbers against Titans in the last few head to head clashes, Gous is likely to help you take a lot of money home.
