OTA vs AUK Match 15 Day 2 Predictions & Betting Tips

Otago and Auckland have engaged themselves in an intense battle in the 15th match of the ongoing season of the Plunket Shield. This fixture is being played at the Molyneux Park in Alexandra from earlier today. Now that you have made money on Day 1, it is time to maximise the opportunity on Day 2 of this ongoing game as well. Fret not, as I have managed to assort the top three betting tips from the OTA vs AUK Day 2 head-to-head clash.

Auckland are in pursuit of the top spot of the points table of the Plunket Shield 2021-22 edition. Currently, they have occupied the second spot on that tree and guess what, they have played two matches less and 6 points adrift off league leaders Canterbury, who are the reigning champions. Auckland won the toss and chose to bat without any hesitation whatsoever. At stumps on Day 1, Auckland have scored 299 for the loss of 5 wickets and are staring at a big total on Day 2. Otago must be wary of the threat Auckland possesses and they have already been humbled once earlier in this ongoing season. While we cannot wait for the Day 2 action to kickstart, let me present to you the best betting tips from the OTA vs AUK Day 2 head-to-head encounter.

OTA vs AUK Team Bets:

The aggregators are not really comfortable sharing markets in abundance from the Plunket Shield games. However, I firmly believe they surely will be sharing the winning bet from the Otago vs Auckland game.

Auckland to win

Auckland have been exceptional in this current edition of the Plunket Shield and their performances have bore fruit. If you look at the points table of this competition this year, Auckland are the only team who is yet to see the face of a defeat. They have played three matches and they have managed to win all of them and that too, by hefty margins. In fact, Otago were already handed a drubbing by Auckland earlier this season, where the latter won that game by a whopping margin of 213 runs. In the previous season of the Plunket Shield, Otago managed to draw a game somehow against Auckland but lost the other one by an innings and 129 runs! Otago are placed second last on that same Plunket Shield 2021-22 points table. With one win in five matches played, Otago are in all sorts of trouble and are staring at yet another average season. Pari Match should offer you the best of odds for Auckland to win this game from the OTA vs AUK Day 2 match prediction.

Auckland to score less than 450 runs in the 1st innings

Here is yet another team market that can make you quite a lot of money tomorrow! Auckland, as I said, have done well in order to assert their dominance in the current season of the Plunket Shield. However, we are talking about 1st innings scores here and I have not witnessed them scoring above 450 runs a lot of times in the last two seasons of this competition. In fact Auckland has scored over 450 runs only once in this season in 6 innings, and that came at the mercy of a double ton by one of their star batter Robert O’Donnell. In the last three head-to-head matches against Otago in this competition, Auckland have failed to score that much. In fact the most they have scored against Otago in these last three games was 369, which also came last year. In fact, that was the most they had scored last year against any team in any innings. The last time Auckland took on Otago in a Plunket Shield game, Auckland scored 325/9 in the first innings. Pari Match should offer you the best of odds for Auckland to score less than 450 runs in this innings from the OTA vs AUK Day 2 match prediction.

OTA vs AUK Player Bet:

Robert O’Donnell is batting out there in the middle with real authority and he is expected to continue playing a fantastic knock. Therefore he has made it to my list from the OTA vs AUK Day 2 action.

Robert O’Donnell to play a daunting knock

And now, we have arrived at our ultimate bet from the Day 2 predictions of Otago vs Auckland. Robert O’Donnell, ladies and gentlemen, is a New Zealand domestic cricket asset and he has been doing exceptionally well with the bat in the last couple of years with the red-ball particularly. I personally have seen his batting average shooting up from below 25 to almost 35.00 in a span of a year. In 3 matches this year, O’Donnell has already racked up 305 runs at an outstanding batting average of 76.25. As of now, he is unbeaten on a very well made 73* and is surely looking to add to that tally. In the previous season of the Plunket Shield, O'Donnell was not only the highest run scorer for Auckland but also the sixth highest overall with 546 runs against his name in just 7 matches at an impressive batting average of 60.66. O’Donnell has even managed to score a hundred in one of the last three knocks against Otago in Plunket Shield. Pari Match should be kind enough to offer you the best of odds for Robert O’ Donnell to play a daunting knock from the OTA vs AUK Day 2 match prediction.

My Picks:

Auckland to win

Auckland to score less than 450 runs in the first innings

Robert O’Donell to play a daunting knock
