VIC vs WA Day 1 Team Bet:

The oddsmakers are yet to come up with odds for the forthcoming game. However, after a careful consideration of the past datas we have picked that one bet to make some handsome cash from in the VIC vs WA Day 1 team betting tip.

Victoria to score over 27.5 runs before 1st dismissal in first innings

Victoria settled with a draw against South Australia in their opening game of the Sheffield Shield this year. Their opening pair have done a decent job with the bat if we take a look at their last five matches. Victoria's opening pair has revolved around these players - Marcus Harris, Will Pucovski, Travis Dean. Victoria posted scores of 0 & 30, 75, 6 & 26, 14 & 74 and 7 & 9 runs in their last five matches before the fall of the first wicket. This sums up to 241 runs from nine innings, averaging almost 26.7 runs per innings before 1st dismissal. Victoria’s scores in the last five head-to-head matches read - 75, 6 & 26, 12 & 3 and 186 & 84 runs before the fall of the first wicket. This takes their average to 56.00 runs per innings before the fall of the first wicket. On the flip side, Western Australia haven’t done a good job until now and were unable to restrict their opposition’s opening pair to score low for the first wicket. Western Australia leaked runs at an average of 61.25 before the fall of the first wicket against the opposition they faced last season. Therefore, it shows that the Western Australia Warriors bowlers were unable to restrict their opponents to score low before the fall of the first wicket. The numbers clearly work in favour of this betting tip thus making it a strong and a reliable one. To grab the best returns, log on to 1XBET as they should be offering the best of odds in Victoria’s favour to score well before 1st dismissal from the VIC vs WA Day 1 match prediction.

VIC vs WA Day 1 Player Bets:

We have chosen Peter Handscomb and Cameron Bancroft to perform well for their respective teams in the VIC vs WA Day 1 player betting tips. Take a look below!

Peter Handscomb to score over 28.5 runs in 1st innings

Peter Handscomb, the middle-order wicket-keeper batsman from Melbourne, Victoria is my next pick from the VIC vs WA Day 1 match prediction. The 31-year-old batter who has a tendency of staying on back-foot is leading his side from the front in the ongoing edition of Sheffield Shield. The right-handed batter is the leading run-getter in the tournament at the moment. Handscomb posted scores of 10 & 132 in the opening game of the season this year. In the previous edition of the competition, Handscomb emerged as the leading run-scorer from his side with 697 runs from 15 innings in which he has batted in. He averaged close to 49.78 last year and struck two hundreds and three half ones. He has posted scores of 10 & 132, 14 & 39*, 48 & 7, 6 & 79 and 27 runs in the last five First-Class matches. Peter Handscomb holds an experience of 140 First-class matches wherein he has accumulated 8297 runs at an average of 37.71. The Victorian has 18 centuries and 46 half centuries to his name in First-class cricket. The Victorian skipper has posted scores of 80, 1 & 20, 32 & 29 and 84 & 27 runs in the last five head-to-head clashes vs WA. Considering all the stats, we have backed Peter Handscomb to outshine with the bat against Western Australia. Head over to 1XBET and place your bet on Peter Handscomb whenever the odds are available on the website from the VIC vs WA Day 1 head-to-head encounter.

Cameron Bancroft to score over 29.5 runs in 1st innings

Lastly, I have added wicket-keeper batsman Cameron Bancroft to my list today from the VIC vs WA Day 1 match prediction. Bancroft was one of the three players involved in the 2018 ball tampering scandal in the Cape Town test. Since then the 29-year-old found limited opportunities and is now playing for Western Australia in domestic cricket. Bancroft is known for his solid technique and resilience in the crease. The Attadale born cricketer struck 502 runs from 15 innings in which he batted in last season at an average of 35.85. Although the opener posted a score of 2 & 34 in WA’s opening game of the contest this year, we expect him to continue from where he left last season. Bancroft made his First-class debut against the same opponent he is going to face on Monday. Since making his debut back in 2013, the right-handed batter has smashed 7754 runs from 123 games at an astonishing average of 37.45. He has struck 19 hundreds and 29 fifties so far in his First-class career. Bancroft will be brimming with confidence after the hundred he scored in the last game. Bancroft’s numbers against Victoria in Sheffield Shield are quite impressive. He has posted scores of 141 & 0, 38, 113 & 68, 5 and 10 runs against them in the last five head-to-head clashes. Therefore, we have backed opener Cameron Bancroft to notch runs for his side in the upcoming match as well. For now, go to 1XBET and place your bet on Cameron Bancroft at the best of odds from the VIC vs WA Day 1 match prediction.
