South Australia vs Victoria 14th Test Day 1 match prediction 9 Feb 2022

SOA vs VIC Day 1 Match 14 Predictions and Betting Tips

South Australia will be locking horns with Victoria in the 14th match of the ongoing edition of the Sheffield Shield. This match is going to be played at the Adelaide Stadium in Adelaide from February 9, Wednesday. Money making cannot be easier than this and therefore I have handpicked three of the best betting tips from the SOA vs VIC head-to-head encounter.

South Australia have a task up their sleeves as they are all set to take on Victoria in their sixth match of the season. In the last 5 matches, South Australia have not been able to win a single game. They have lost two and drawn three of their Sheffield Shield games so far and are definitely in a troubled state. Victoria, on the other hand, have played three matches and have registered victories in two and drawn one already. They are the only side not to have lost a single game so far in the current season of the Sheffield Shield. That makes them an extremely dangerous side to take on. While Victoria and South Australia are raring to go up against each other in Adelaide, let me present to you the top betting tips from the SOA vs VIC head-to-head clash.

SOA vs VIC Player Bets:

The bookmakers are yet to reveal any sort of markets for the punters. Therefore it is wise to depend on the player markets. However, I am quite certain that the aforementioned players are going to make you quite a lot of money from the SOA vs VIC match prediction.

Travis Head to rack up some runs

My first choice is not just any other player but the leading run scorer from the recently concluded Ashes series. Yes ladies and gentlemen, I am indeed talking about Travis Head! In fact, Head is going to miss the first half of the Australia vs Sri Lanka T20I series so that he can play the Sheffield Shield game. In the first half of the Sheffield Shield 2021-22 season, the left-handed batter 394 runs in 5 matches at an average of 49.25. With two hundreds and one fifty, Head is looking good with the bat and is surely the best batter from the South Australia side. In the Ashes 2021-22, he put up 357 runs in just 4 matches at an impressive average of 59.50. In the previous edition of the Sheffield Shield, Head was in red-hot form as he racked up 893 runs in just 7 matches at an average of 68.69 with three centuries and three half tons. Pari Match is offering the best of odds for Travis Head from the SOA vs VIC match prediction.

Peter Handscomb to play a steady knock

Yet another Australian batter, who has been around this cricket circuit for a long time - Peter Handscomb of Victoria. The Victoria skipper is expected to play a steady knock and therefore he has made it to this list. Handscomb is also the leading run scorer from the Victoria squad this season with 286 runs in just three matches at a very healthy average of 47.66. He also comes in with the experience of 129 First-class matches and 7524 runs at an average of 37.06. In the previous season of the Sheffield Shield, in 8 matches, Handscomb has scored 511 runs at an average of 46.45. In the last match, Handscomb scored a duck and 39 in either of the innings. Pari Match should offer realistic odds for Peter Handscomb to play a steady knock in the SOA vs VIC match prediction.

Nic Maddinson should play well

Having played a role with the bat for Melbourne Renegades, Nic Maddinson will now play a role for his domestic outfit, Victoria. Remember, I told you that Victoria are the only unbeaten side in this ongoing edition of the Sheffield Shield? If you do, then let me tell you Nic Maddinson too played a role so far in empowering Victoria to maintain that feat. He has played just two matches for Victoria in the first half of the season and has amassed 250 runs at a jaw-dropping batting average of 83.33. He had a pretty average season last time around and could score only 373 runs in 8 matches and 13 innings at an average of 31.08. He seemed to have bettered that average already and that too by some distance. Overall, Maddinson has played 98 matches in his First-class career, and has scored 6316 runs at an average of almost 40.00. Pari Match yet again will be at your service with the best of odds for Nic Maddinson from the SOA vs VIC match prediction.

My Picks:

Travis Head to rack up some runs

Peter Handscomb to play a steady knock

Nic Maddinson should play well
