QUN vs NSW Day 1 Match 15 Predictions and Betting Tips

The 15th fixture of the ongoing edition of the Sheffield Shield will see Queensland and New South Wales taking on each other. This Australian domestic game will be hosted at the iconic Gabba in Brisbane from February 9, Wednesday. Just in case you would like to make a lot of money, I have successfully unearthed three of the best betting tips from the QUN vs NSW head-to-head encounter.

This contest will be between two contrasting sides as one is competing against the league leader Western Australia and, the other is reeling right at the bottom of the Sheffield Shield 2021-22 points table. Queensland are just a couple of points adrift off the top of the table and they have been handed a wonderful opportunity to take over the lead. Interestingly, Western Australia’s next game is also against New South Wales. Therefore, this forthcoming fixture will be of utmost importance for Queensland. On the other hand, New South Wales have played three matches and are yet to register a win, losing two of their matches as well. It is going to be a tough pill to swallow for New South Wales but surely they do have a mountainous task ahead of them. While they gear up for the battle, let me take you through the best of the betting tips from the QUN vs NSW head-to-head battle.

QUN vs NSW Player Bets:

Our favourite oddsmaker is yet to offer any sort of markets for this forthcoming Sheffield Shield game. Therefore, for now, we are going to make do with the player bets that will surely come your way before the start of the QUN vs NSW game.

Usman Khawaja expected to be on fire

The Australian left-handed batsman Usman Khawaja is my first pick from the list of betting tips from the QUN vs NSW clash. The left-handed batsman has been in scintillating form off late and is expected to set the game on fire with his batting antics. Khawaja recently whacked two centuries in the same Ashes Test against England. Needless to say, he is in form! Khawaja is also the leading run scorer for Queensland and the second highest overall with 460 runs against his name at an astounding average of 65.71. In just 5 matches, Khawaja has gone ahead and scored two centuries and 2 half tons. Overall, the Aussie lad has played a total of 167 First-class matches and has 11233 runs to his name at an average of 43.71. In fact, in the previous season, he played 8 matches and racked up 473 runs (which is just 13 runs from what he has now) at an average of 59.12. Pari Match is likely to offer the best of odds for Usman Khawaja from the QUN vs NSW match prediction.

Marnus Labuschagne to rule the proceedings with the bat

Next up is the current world no.1 batter in Test cricket - Marnus Labuschagne from Queensland yet again. It is almost as if the right-handed batsman never gets out of form! In the recently concluded Ashes series, which the Aussies reclaimed, Labuschagne scored two fifties and a hundred as well. In 23 Test matches in his career, Labuschagne has piled on 2220 runs at an incredible average of 56.92. He has also played 104 First-class games and has 7789 runs to his name at an average of 46.36. In the ongoing season of the Sheffield Shield, he is almost neck and neck with Usman Khawaja. The right hander has 455 runs against his name at a staggering average of 65.00. In the previous season of the Sheffield Shield, Labuschagne racked up a mammoth 821 runs in just 8 matches at a jaw-dropping average of 82.10. Pari Match is surely going to offer the best of odds for Marnus Labuchagne from the QUN vs NSW match prediction.

Daniel Hughes to shine for New South Wales

Last but not the least, going by the performances in the ongoing edition of the Sheffield Shield, New South Wales’ only ray of hope with the bat, Daniel Hughes is my last pick from the QUN vs NSW battle. As of now, Hughes is the leading run scorer for New South Wales in 2021-22 edition of the Sheffield Shield. In three matches, Hughes has scored 244 runs at an average of 48.80. In fact, the left-handed batsman has notched up three half centuries in 6 innings this season. Overall in 58 matches, the southpaw has scored 3693 runs at an average of 37.30. However, Hughes had a pretty average season last time around as he could only score 317 runs at an average of 21.13. But it seems, the left hander has a point to prove this season and has done decently so far. Pari Match should offer you the best of odds for Daniel Hughes from the QUN vs NSW match prediction.
