VIC vs TAS Match 20 Day 3 Predictions & Betting Tips

Victoria will collide with Tasmania on Day 3 to play the 19th match of the ongoing edition of Sheffield Shield. The match is being hosted at the Junction Oval in Melbourne from March 15, Monday. I have taken the privilege of presenting in front of you the top three betting tips from the VIC vs TAS Day 3 match prediction.

Travis Dean’s eighth test ton kept Victoria in the game in the crucial penultimate round of Sheffield Shield match against Tasmania. Victoria reached 210 at the cost of four wickets at stumps on Day 2. The 32 time Champions are still trailing by 145 runs halfway through the match. Dean reached his second ton of the season in the second last over of the day and remained unbeaten at 103. His 210 ball stay at the crease was laced with 13 boundaries. Tasmanian keeper Jake Doran missed a catch and allowed him to smash a four and reach his hundred. Victoria’s leading run getters Nic Maddinson and skipper Peter Handscomb failed to notch runs for their side in the first innings. Travis Dean and Sam Harper smashed an unbroken 100 run partnership and revived their side who were struggling at 110/4. Earlier in the day, the Tasmanian tail-enders added a quick 105 runs in the first 90 minutes. A couple of cameo’s from Jackson Bird and Tom Andres helped Tasmania reach 355 after resuming the innings at 250/5. As we gear up for the exciting contest on Day 3, let us have a look at the top three betting tips from the VIC vs TAS match prediction.

VIC vs TAS Day 3 Player Bets:

Ben McDermott and Sam Harper are my top two player betting tips from the VIC vs TAS Day 3 match prediction. I am certain that the below mentioned players will surely earn you enough cash tomorrow morning.

Ben McDermott To Be The Top Batter For Tasmania In The 2nd Innings

First-innings Centurion Ben McDermott is my first pick from the VIC vs TAS Day 2 match prediction. McDermott is the son of former fast bowler Craig McDermott and the younger brother of Alister McDermott. But unlike the two of them, he chose to be a batter at an early age. The Brisbane born cricketer played for Queensland in his initial days but then made a move to Tasmania in 2014. He shined immediately for them by smashing 65 runs in his Shield debut for Tasmania against Victoria at the MCG. Since then, the 27-year-old has featured in 44 First-class matches in which he has racked up 2288 runs at an average of 33.15. He has struck two centuries and 16 fifties so far in his Shield career. In the ongoing edition of the tournament, he has amassed 322 runs from five matches at an average of 46.00. Earlier on Day 1, McDermott fell just six runs short of what could have been his maiden ton in the current campaign. In the 2020/21 edition of the tournament, the 29-year-old scored runs at an average of 59.16 from four matches. Although he was Tasmania’s top batter in the first innings but missed out from scoring a ton. Therefore, we suggest you bet on Ben McDermott at odds of 4.00 to be Tasmania’s leading run getter in the second innings. Head over to Pari Match and place your bet on him to get some amazing returns.

Sam Harper To Hit Over 6.5 Fours In 1st Innings

Up next, I have added the 25-year-old middle order batsman Sam Harper to my list today. Sam is the nephew of former Victorian cricketer Laurence Harper. Besides being a right-handed batsman, Harper also has the ability to go behind the stumps which he showcased in the 2016 BBL in the absence of Peter Handscomb. Harper is currently playing against the same opponent he made his first-class debut against back in 2016 at the MCG. Sam Harper has an experience of 24 first-class matches but he has only managed to score 722 runs at an average of 23.29. In the ongoing match, Harper remained unbeaten at 42 overnight. He has struck 4 fours in his 112 ball stay at the crease. Along with centurion Travis Dean, he has steadied Victoria’s ship and has put up 100 runs together for the fifth wicket. Although, he is not having a great campaign with the bat but he is batting with some determination out there in the ongoing game. Harper had struck just nine boundaries before this match from five games. He has already struck 4 fours in the first innings and we expect him to smash another few tomorrow morning. Although the youngster is not going through a good run of form, he looked quite settled on the pitch on Day 2. You can almost double your money tomorrow by placing your bet on Sam Harper at odds of 1.85 to hit over 6.5 fours in the first innings. For now, go to Pari Match and place your bet on him to get some hefty returns.

Victoria To Hit Over 39.5 Fours In 1st Innings

Opener Travis Dean’s second ton of the season has kept the 32 time Champions in the game after their top run getters Nic Maddinson and Peter Handscomb fell quite early in the day. Victoria reached 210 at the cost of four wickets at stumps on Day 2. Victoria have struck close to 25 fours already in the first innings and are trailing by 145 runs. They have only lost four wickets and a couple of more batsmen are yet to come out to bat. It seems that the Victorians will cross the 300 run mark and whenever they have done so they have hit atleast 38 fours. Victoria have scored more than 300 in the first innings twice from five matches and have hit 41 & 38 fours on those two occasions. Travis Dean has already hit 13 fours and remained unbeaten at 103 overnight along with Sam Harper who has struck 4 fours so far. The Peter Handscomb led side has smashed 248 fours so far this season from five matches. They have declared the innings six out of ten times and have averaged 24.8 fours per innings. They have already crossed their season’s average and we predict they will hit more than 39.5 fours in the first innings. You can almost double your money by placing your bet on Victoria through our affiliate partner Pari Match at odds of 1.87.
