In what was a clash of two similar-fated teams, South Australia took the advantage against Tasmania in Hobart and bowling to secure their first Shield victory in two years.
In what was a strong statement of sorts from Alex Carey-led South Australia, the team have taken over the commands in their Shield encounter against Tasmania. It is a game that seems to be a one-way traffic at the conclusion of Day 2 but how does that matter for you if you are interested to get some easy cash to your wallet. We have gone through the data and churned out the specifics for you to simplify the process. Go ahead and bet!
George Bailey to be Tasmania’s top scorer @4.75
With South Australia already on the top of the game, hosts Tasmania would have loved Alex Doolan, who with 478 runs has been their most successful batsman this season, to lead from the front but that was nipped in the bud after Doolan’s dismissal. That, however, brought a lot of responsibility on Ben McDermott and Geroge Bailey, among which we are siding with the latter to score the bulk of the scoring. Bailey has a total of 185 runs this season at an average of 26.42 but Bailey has a history of scoring tough runs when the team is in danger. He played a stunning 82-run innings against Queensland in his last game at the same Bellerive Oval ground, something that would give the retiring-cricketer hope to get on score a big one. Simon Milenko’s first innings century suggested how easy batting has actually become on the venue gradually, and that is something that would keep Tasmania in good stead. Go for this bet. It would pay off.
More players to be caught @1.40
In Tasmania’s first innings, five out of a total of 10 players were dismissed caught while the rest five were either LBW or bowled. The corresponding numbers for South Australia is not too different too, with six players falling prey to caught dismissals. This brings the jest of this bet. If you are putting your money on caught dismissals being higher than bowled in Tasmania’s second innings, chances are you are having your money’s worth and then some more. Three of South Australia’s wicket-taking bowlers Nick Winter, Chadd Sayers, and Wes Agar have had more catch dismissals than any other mode of dismissals, which means you would be better placed having this bet in the six-way method of dismissal bet. Go for it, what are you waiting for?
South Australia to win the game @1.25
If at the beginning of the season, when South Australia and Victoria played out that disgrace of a match at the Junction Oval in Melbourne, one would have told SA that they would beat Tasmania outright, it would have meant the world for them. Such has been their plight that they are yet to win a Shield game since 2017-18 season when they won only two games. They have been at the bottom of the table for the last three seasons but think what, their fortunes might change in a day’s time. With full stronghold over the game, South Australia, led by Alex Carey, are just nine wickets away from what could be a memorable victory for them. Wes Agar and Winter are in some form, and considering Doolan has already been dismissed for nought, the game has become a very clear one to understand. This is a bet that would fetch you a lot punters. Can’t miss this winning bet for sure.
