New South Wales vs Tasmanian Tigers 16th Test Day 1 match prediction 18 Feb 2022

NSW vs TAS Day 1 Match 16 Predictions and Betting Tips

New South Wales will be at loggerheads with Tasmania in the 16th match of the ongoing edition of the Sheffield Shield. This fixture will be taking place at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney from February 18, Friday. This also brings us a chance to make some cash from this forthcoming Sheffield Shield game. Thus, I have managed to accumulate three of the top betting tips from the NSW vs TAS head-to-head clash.

This is going to be an interesting clash as both teams are coming into this fixture on the back of respective victories in their last game. New South Wales, who sit at the rock bottom of the points table of the ongoing season of the Sheffield Shield, collected their first win. Moreover, that win came against the reigning champions Queensland. Even if it was a narrow one, it all counts at the end of the day. Tasmania, on the other hand, have registered two wins already in this season. They outclassed an in-form Western Australia side in their last match and must be brimming with confidence ahead of their forthcoming match. While they get ready to collide at the Sydney Cricket Ground, I will present to you the top three betting tips from the NSW vs TAS Day 1 head-to-head battle.

NSW vs TAS Day 1 Player Bets:

The bookmakers are yet to offer any sort of markets from the couple of Sheffield Shield matches we have in this upcoming weekend. However, I am quite sanguine that these three aforementioned players will be in the offing from the NSW vs TAS Day 1 head-to-head encounter.

Jordan Silk to continue with his red-hot form

The Tasmania skipper has been in fantastic form in the current season of the Sheffield Shield. The 29-year-old middle-order batsman has played five matches so far this season and has 420 against his name at an incredible batting average of 70.00! He already has one hundred and three half-centuries in eight innings he has played so far. The right-handed batsman registered scores of 73 and 83* during Tasmania’s last match against Western Australia. Silk also comes along with the experience of 70 First-class matches and 4042 runs at an average of 31.82. He has already bettered his tally of 376 runs from the previous season with three more matches to go. Pari Match should offer fantastic odds for Jordan Silk to continue with his red-hot form in the NSW vs TAS Day 1 match prediction.

Caleb Jewell to score over 21.5 runs

Although Tim Ward has scored more runs this season than any other Tasmanian batsman, Caleb Jewell has this flair of consistency with him. Ward is almost new in this Australian domestic cricket circuit. Jewell, on the other hand, has already played 16 First-class matches and has scored 824 runs at an average of 28.41. That average has shot up in the current edition of the Sheffield Shield. In five matches so far, Jewell has scored 395 runs (third highest run scorer among the Tasmanian batters) at an average of 43.88. In nine innings so far, the left-handed batsman has racked up one hundred and three half-tons. In the last match against Western Australia, Jewell registered scores of 102 and 60 in the respective innings to help Tasmania pick up their second win of the season. He scored 290 runs in four matches in the previous season and that tally has been breached. Pari Match should offer the best of odds for Caleb Jewell to shine again from the NSW vs TAS Day 1 match prediction.

Daniel Hughes to lead from the front with the bat

Last but not the least, Daniel Hughes, who is also the New South Wales skipper, is my last pick from the list today. The left-handed batsman has been in an incredible run of form in the current season. If you are to look at his numbers of the previous season, you will see Hughes was scoring at an ordinary average of 21.13. However, in the current season, Hughes has breached that number by a mile and has racked up 331 runs in just four matches at an impressive average of 55.16. These numbers include four half-centuries already in eight innings. The 32-year-old southpaw has 59 First-class matches under his belt and has 3780 runs at an average of 37.80. He even scored 86 runs in the first innings of the previous match against Queensland. Pari Match can offer the best of odds for Daniel Hughes to do well with the bat in the NSW vs TAS Day 1 match prediction.

My Picks:

Jordan Silk to continue with his red-hot form

Caleb Jewell to score over 21.5 runs - @ 1.87 (Pari Match)

Daniel Hughes to lead from the front with the bat
