ND vs OV Day 1 Player Bets:

Mentioned below are the top three player betting tips from the ND vs OV Day 1 match prediction. Take a look!

Jeet Raval To Score Over 30.5 Runs In 1st Innings

I have the Indian born New Zealand cricketer Jeet Raval as my ultimate bet today from the ND vs OV Day 1 match prediction. The southpaw has been one of the most consistent players in the domestic circuit and only once in his career has he averaged less than 40 in a Plunket Shield season. His breakthrough season was in 2015/16 wherein he amassed 1016 runs and earned an international call-up. The Gujarat born cricketer is a vastly experienced cricketer and has featured in 133 First-class matches to pile 8385 runs from them at a stunning average of 37.60. With 491 runs from six games, the 34-year-old was the leading run-scorer for his side last season. He has averaged close to 45 in the current season which is fairly above our target. He has carried his last edition’s form into the current one and posted scores of 8 & 54 in the ND’s opening game of the season this year. His score card reads 8 & 54, 209 & 3, 16 & 30, 25 & 38 and 3 & 32 in the last five games. This shows that the southpaw is in some form this season. Jeet Raval posted scores of 89 and 24 & 161* runs in his last two meetings vs OV in the Plunket Shield. Therefore, we expect Jeet Raval to showcase a similar performance in the upcoming game as well. 1XBET has offered odds of 1.87 to score over 30.5 runs from the ND vs OV Day 1 head-to-head encounter.

Hamish Rutherford to score over 29.5 runs in 1st innings

Hamish Rutherford, son of former New Zealand skipper Ken made his international debut back in 2013. But the southpaw could never cement his spot in the national team and has limited experience in international cricket. However, the 33-year-old has heavy stats under his name in the domestic circuit. In 123 First-Class matches, Rutherford has hammered 7713 runs at an average of 36.55. In this meantime, he has struck 17 centuries and 39 half-ones. In the 2021/22 season of Plunket Shield, the left-handed opener scored 593 runs from 7 matches at an average of about 45.61. He struck two centuries and two half-ones from 13 innings in which he batted in. He finished being the second highest run-getter from his side after Nick Kelly. Rutherford’s scores in the last four First-Class games read 28 & 2, 70 & 21, 44 & 36 and 38 & 13 runs. This entails a 75% efficiency of Hamish Rutherford to score over 29 runs in the forthcoming game. Therefore, it would be fair to place your bet on Hamish Rutherford if you wish to get some assured paybacks. Scoot over to 1XBET and place your bet on Hamish Rutherford to score over 29 runs in the first innings at odds of 1.87 from the ND vs OV Day 1 head-to-head encounter.

Bharat Popli to score over 29.5 runs in 1st innings

Up next we have the 32-year-old Indian born New Zealand cricketer, Bharat Popli, to my list today from the ND vs OV Day 1 match prediction. His breakthrough season came in 2015/16 when he emerged as the leading run-getter in the competition with 1149 runs. The top-order batsman started the season with a bang as he posted scores of 75 & 127* in both innings of the game against Wellington. He is the leading run-getter at the moment with 202 runs from two innings at an average of 202.00. In the 2021/22 season of the Plunket Shield, Bharat played just four matches and scored 265 runs from them at an average of 44.16. He batted in just 7 innings and scored a hundred and a fifty. Overall, the New Delhi born cricketer holds an experience of about 54 First-Class matches wherein he has accumulated 3356 runs to his tally of total runs at an average of 39.02. He has struck five hundreds and 22 half-ones. His scores in the last five First-Class matches read 75 & 127*, 150 & 9*, 17 & 0, 86 and 1 & 2 runs. This entails a 60% efficiency of Bharat Popli to post a score above our target in the first innings of this game. Looking at all this, it would be fair to place your bet on Bharat Popli to score over 29 runs in the first innings. To capitalise on this, scoot over to 1XBET and place your bet on Bharat Popli at odds of 1.87 to score over 29 runs from the ND vs OV Day 1 match prediction.
