CAN vs OTG 21st Match Day 3 Predictions & Betting Tips

Canterbury and Otago will take on each other once again on the penultimate day of the Test match which is a part of the 2021/22 edition of Plunket Shield. The encounter is being hosted at the Mainpower Oval in Rangiora from March 29, Tuesday. Now that you have made enough money in the first two days of the Test, it is now time to fill your pockets completely on Day 3 of the ongoing game. Therefore, I have assorted three of the top betting tips from the CAN vs OTG Day 2 head-to-head clash.

Canterbury now have an iron grip in the Test match after reducing Otago’s lead to 104 runs at stumps on Day 2. Canterbury opener Chad Bowes was at the centre of their innings today. He remained unbeaten at 79 and took Canterbury’s scorecard to 153 runs at the loss of two wickets. The duo of Chad Bowes and Ken McClure provided a fiery start to their innings and hammered 56 runs for the first wicket. Skipper Cole McConchie could not stay in the crease for a longer period of time as was found right in front of the stumps off Jake Gibson’s bowling. But that did not stop Jack Boyle and opener Chad Bowes from scoring runs. The two batted together for the remainder of the day and put up an unbroken 74 run partnership for the third wicket. At stumps on Day 2, Canterbury are trailing by 104 runs and would head into the penultimate day of the Test with their noses in front. Earlier in the day, the hosts wrapped up Otago’s first innings to 257 runs. The visitors could only manage to score 61 runs on Day 2 and lost six wickets under 25 overs. William O’Rourke and Fraser Sheat ran riot through Otago’s batting unit and picked up three wickets apiece. Right-arm speedster Will Williams picked up two wickets while Sean Davey and Cole McConchie had a scalp each to their name. While we cannot wait for the resumption of play on Day 3, let me present to you the best betting tips from the CAN vs OTG Day 3 head-to-head encounter.

CAN vs OTG Day 3 Team Bets:

The aggregators are not really comfortable sharing markets in abundance from the Plunket Shield games. However, I have collated two of the best team bets from the CAN vs OTG Day 3 match prediction.

Canterbury To Score A Good Number Of Fours In 1st Innings

The reigning Plunket Shield Champions, Canterbury have an iron grip in the Test match after showing a brilliant display with the bat and ball on Day 2. The 20 time Champions are trailing by 104 runs and have already posted a score of 153 on the board at the cost of two wickets. Canterbury who are perched at the top shelf of the table have been phenomenal all season. They have hit close to 342 fours in total from the six matches they have featured in so far. This takes their average to 28.5 fours per innings in the current campaign. They have hammered 52, 20, 8, 23, 45, 27 fours in the first innings of the last six games this season. This sums up to 175 fours from the first innings of the six games which takes their average further to 29.16 fours. Opener Chad Bowes who is still at the crease batting at 79 overnight has alone struck 11 fours in the ongoing game. The 29-year-old opener has hit the most number of fours for Canterbury this season (52). Leo Carter who is yet to come out to bat has struck a total of 29 fours this season. The reigning Champions have already reaped 17 fours in the ongoing innings and we expect them to hit a dozen more when they come out to bat on Day 3. Therefore, I am confident that Canterbury will hit a good number of boundaries in the 1st innings. Our affiliate partner Pari Match will surely offer the best of odds from the CAN vs OTG Day 3 head-to-head encounter.

Canterbury To Post A Mammoth Total On The Board In 1st Innings

The hosts are all over the visitors on Day 2 of the ongoing Test match and have titled the game in their favour. Courtesy of opener Chad Bowes and Jack Boyle that the reigning Champions are only trailing by 104 runs and have posted a score of 153 on the board at the cost of two wickets. Chad Bowes who is the leading run-getter for Canterbury this season remained unbeaten at 79 off 135 balls. The 20 time Champions have scored runs at an average of about 250 per game in the first innings so far. Their scores read 438/8(d), 200, 82, 156, 379/9(d), 241 in the first innings of the last six games respectively. In their last meeting against Otago in the 2020/21 season, Canterbury posted a massive score of 517 on the board in the 1st innings. Leo Carter who is yet to come out to the crease scored 169 the last time out. The hosts have scored 245 runs on an average per innings this season after the conclusion of the first six games. Canterbury will be riding with confidence after a dominating day. They have eight wickets in hand and will look to post a massive total on board when they resume their innings on Day 3. The deal is a no brainer and all my money is on Canterbury to come out all guns blazing against Otago on the penultimate day of the test. Head over to Pari Match and place your bet on Canterbury at the best of odds and get some amazing returns.

CAN vs OTG Day 3 Player Bet:

Opener Chad Bowes is batting out there in the middle with some determination and we expect him to continue to bat relentlessly when he comes out to resume his innings tomorrow morning. Therefore, I have included him to my list today from the CAN vs OTG Day 3 match prediction.

Chad Bowes To Continue His Scoring Rate In 1st Innings

Bad light brought an premature end to the day’s play, else opener Chad Bowes would have added another few runs to his tally. The 29-year-old South African batsman remained unbeaten at 79 overnight. His 135 ball stay at the crease was laced with 11 boundaries. Along with Jack Boyle, he scored an unbroken 74 run partnership for the third wicket which allowed the home side to be on top of the visitors. The right-handed Proteas batsman has accumulated close to 3283 runs from 77 First-class matches at an average of 27.58. He already has four centuries to his name and will surely look forward to add another one to his name tomorrow. In the previous game, he racked up a fifty in the first innings. Chad Bowes, who was pretty ordinary in Canterbury’s title winning season last year, is currently the top scorer for them in the current campaign. The 29-year-old has reaped 400 runs from six games at a jaw dropping average of 40.00. Bowes who fell agonisingly short of what could have been his 5th ton in Canterbury’s second game of the season against Wellington, will not want to miss the opportunity of scoring a ton this time. Therefore, it is fair to risk your bucks on someone who has been consistent all season. Pari Match will surely offer the best of odds from the CAN vs OTG Day 3 match prediction.
