VIC vs NSW Match 7 Predictions & Betting Tips

The 7th match of the Sheffield Shield 2021 is between Victoria and New South Wales.The match will witness its second day of the game on 28 October in Sydney. I have the top VIC vs NSW match predictions and betting tips for you to win from.

The teams are back at it again playing in Australian conditions in absence of the nation's top squad as they are away playing the World Cup. Both the sides have met twice in the previous edition of the competition and are at it again in the latest season of the competition. I have picked out the best team and player bets for the VIC vs NSW match prediction.

VIC vs NSW Team Bets:

I have gathered the top team bets for the 2nd day play of the VIC vs NSW match predictions.

NSW’s 3rd dismissal before 56.5 runs 2-way

New South Wales are back in the Sheffield Shield 2021 after finishing second in the previous edition of the tournament. NSW had a wonderful season where they bagged 3 wins while losing two games in the 8 games they have played (3 draws). Let’s have a closer look at the 1st innings of NSW in their last run of the tournament. They managed decent totals in the tournament with a shaky middle order. Kurtis Patterson and Harry Conway are on the crease after the team faced two dismissals early in the match. He has had some disappointing outings playing in the format. The last season was not impressive for the player who was dismissed five times at single digit totals, completely weakening the middle order of the NSW batting line-up. NSW made 71 (vs WAU), 93 (vs QUN), 15 (vs TAS), 37 (vs VIC), 47 (vs VIC), 95 (vs SAU), 0 (vs TAS) and 143 runs (vs QUN) before their third dismissal in the 1st innings last season. This entails 50% of the NSW batters to bundle out earlier than our target. Moreover, sending in Conway who haven’t had the experience batting early in the competition might backfire, making this bet a safe pick. With the batters on the ground right now, it is almost imperative for them to strike out before 57 runs in the match. Bet365 offers the odds of 1.83 for the 3rd dismissal under 56.5 runs and it is a good pick to make some money with.

NSW to score under 290.5 runs in 1st innings 2-way

NSW finished second in the previous season but had an inconsistent start throughout the competition. With the loss of 2 wickets already, NSW will find it very difficult to reach a massive score as our desired target. Patterson and Conway will certainly not make up for a partnership that we can trust. It was a horrid campaign for either player in the Sheffield Shield 2020 where both failed to put across any significant impactful inning total. In four matches out of the 8 games they played, NSW bundled out at mere totals as low as 32 runs (vs TAS) whereas the rest of the matches resulted in a sky high total of the team. However, the loss of openers in the match will lose the confidence on the team to carry out a big inning. I would suggest you to pick this betting tip for a hefty payday and Bet365 offers the odds of 1.90 for the same.

VIC vs NSW Player Bets:

Considering the player’s current form, I have picked Patterson to score below the target. Let us find out why.

Kurtis Patterson to score under 41.5 runs 2-way

Kurtis Patterson, at age 18, became the youngest batsman to score a century on Sheffield Shield debut for New South Wales when he hit 157 against Western Australia in November 2011. He has accumulated 4924 runs in 141 FC career matches with a smashing average of 47.46. Although his average does not agree with our betting tip, you might be convinced otherwise after the next few lines. Patterson had a horrific previous season batting for NSW where he amassed a total of 362 runs in 17 innings with an average as low as 21.29. His strikes in the 1st innings of Sheffield Shield 2020 was- 1, 23, 7, 4, 20, 102, 0 and 3 runs in the 8 games he played. Seven out of the eight times, he failed to register a total above our mark and therefore is more likely to strike out early like earlier. Bet365 offers the odds of 1.90 for Kurtis Patterson to score under 41.5 runs in the NSW vs VIC head-to-head match and you should grab this safe betting tip as soon as possible.
