Auckland Aces to score high before 1st dismissal

The undefeated in the tournament so far, Auckland Aces, have displayed an unfathomable batting front with multiple hard hitters within the ranks of the team. They registered quite dominating victories with a considerable margin. The credit will go to the remarkable batting line-up of batters, especially the top order, who have been very potent in engaging in a high scoring spree. Martin Guptill, GH Worker and W O’Donnell have taken the charge of opening for the team in the league. They have an average of 81.25, 23.27 and 74.40, in that order. With the help of these openers, AA posted the scores of 38 & 59, 4 & 2, 61 & 44 and 106 & 36 runs in the four games before losing their 1st wicket in 4 games. The first set of runs ( 38 & 59 ) was scored against Northern Brave and opens a possibility for the team to repeat the same, having done that already. Considering the batting potential of Auckland, they are expected to score a bundle of runs before the 1st dismissal.

NB vs AA Player Bets:

I have picked Grandhomme to score high in the upcoming NB vs AA head-to-head match. Have a look at why.

Colin de Grandhomme to score high in 1st innings

A bruising, broad-shouldered batsman, and a disciplined medium-pace bowler, Colin de Grandhomme left Zimbabwe for Auckland in 2006, before eventually finding his way into New Zealand's representative teams. Currently, the 35 yo batter bats in the middle-order of the Northern Brave’s lineup. He has played a total of 28 Test matches where he averages at 38.61. His First-class average agrees with his performance in this format where he reaped 6462 runs from 122 First-class games at an average of 38.23. The senior batter started his campaign cold with scoring 15 & 5 against Canterbury and went on to post scores of 21, 13 and 17 runs in the next two games. After a series of low yielding scores, he picked up momentum in the Test Series vs South Africa and scored 45, 120* and 18 runs in the three innings he led. Grandhomme continued his form in the Plunket Shield with a stunner against Central Stags and posted the scores of 37 and 164* in his last outing. WIth that, he became one of the top run getters for his side with 272 runs at an average of 45.33. With that mentioned, the batter is expected to score in his next match against AA. Pari Match will offer you the best player odds for the NB vs AA head-to-head match regarding the same betting odds and you should take it.
