Otago Volts vs Auckland Aces match prediction 3rd match

Otago Volts vs Auckland Aces | Best Bets from the Game

Otago Volts will take on Auckland Aces in the third game of the Super Smash 2020-2021 season at the Molyneux Park in Alexandra on Monday morning.

Super Smash 2020-21 season is well and truly underway and the excitement levels are a notch higher than usual as the crowds are back into the stands in New Zealand. Being a cricket aficionado, it could not make me more elated as domestic cricket is also getting equal amounts of love and affection as much as the international fixtures. Now, this fixture is a rematch of last year's 2nd qualifier semi-final and Otago Volts will be raring to avenge their narrow loss against the Aces. Otago had finished 2nd on the points table two points adrift the toppers Wellington Firebirds (who already have won their first two games of this ongoing season). This year, both teams will be looking forward to making a good start to the tournament. On one hand, this would be the Volts'; first game of the season and, on the other, the Aces have lost their first match of the season against the Firebirds by 4 wickets. Just in case you are interested in the markets that I have handpicked for you guys to bet on, then you should continue reading.

Auckland Aces to win

We have one heck of an encounter in our hands as two of the best sides of Super Smash will go head-to-head on Monday morning. Otago Volts will face their nemesis side Auckland Aces in the third game of the Super Smash tomorrow morning. The history between these two sides speak volume about the supremacy that Auckland Aces have had in recent times. Auckland Aces have won 10 out of the last 12 head-to-head encounters against Otago Volts - talk about a one-sided affair! However, the Volts and the Aces have faced each other twice at Molyneux Park and each team has had one victory a piece. Auckland Aces have won the last head-to-head encounter and as I said earlier that it was the penultimate game of last season and Otago Volts would remember that quite well. Sportsbet.io has offered odds of 1.82 for an Auckland Aces victory against Otago Volts on Monday and that is an extremely lucrative bet.

Glenn Phillips to score over 25.5 runs

This is yet another market that deserves a mention and thus I have particularly hand-picked this one for you guys to bet on. Glenn Phillips has been the latest batting sensation in the New Zealand batting setup. The South African-born cricketer will be one of the players to watch out for tomorrow for Auckland Aces. He has played 98 T20 matches in his career and has notched up 2691 runs at a decent average of 32.04. Phillips is also the fifth highest run scorer when it comes to head-to-head encounters as he has racked up 314 runs in 8 matches at an astounding average of 78.50. In this calendar year (2020), Phillips has featured in 22 T20 games and has added 561 runs against his name at an average of 31.11. His last 6 T20 scores are as follows - 31, 23, 108, 22, 2 and 49; these scores are portraying his consistency with the bat in the shortest format of the game in recent times. Sportsbet.io has offered odds of 1.85 for Glenn Phillips to score at least 26 runs against Otago Volts on Tuesday morning and considering the form he is in, it should be quite easy for Phillips.

Hamish Rutherford to score over 21.5 runs

From one assured market to another we move on towards the end of this piece, which is going to make you quite a lot of money right at the beginning of the week. Hamish Duncan Rutherford is a seasoned T20 campaigner and he has been serving with the bat for Otago Volts for quite some time now in the domestic T20 tournament of New Zealand. Rutherford is the highest run getter when it comes to head-to-head encounters having scored 538 runs in 21 matches at an average of 28.32. He is coming into this tournament on the back of an extremely successful Vitality Blast season in England. I mean just look at his last few scores - 100, 45, 62, 41 and 46 - these speak volumes of his herculean effort with the bat in this particular format of the game. Rutherford has also played 8 matches at Molyneux Park scoring 222 runs at an average of 27.75. Sportsbet.io has offered odds of 1.85 for Hamish Rutherford to score at least 22 runs tomorrow against Auckland Aces and it should be a walk in the park for the Kiwi batsman.
