Otago Volts vs Northern Brave match prediction 6th match

OV vs NB Match 6 Predictions & Betting Tips

Northern Brave will look to get their T20 campaign off to a flying start with a win when they face old rivals Otago Volts Volts at the University Oval in Dunedin on Sunday, the 12th of December. Having had a relatively disappointing last season missing out on the knockout stage, Northern Brave will be looking to take a step forward this year and mount a comprehensive challenge for the title. Here, I have collated the three best Super Smash 2021/22 betting tips for you from the OV vs NB match prediction.

Northern Brave will be hoping to play their first match of the new Super Smash campaign to finally kickstart all their three domestic tournaments, after their earlier encounter against the same team had to be abandoned midway through the first innings. They will be eyeing a victory right from the off, considering the struggles Otago Volts have had off late. Rain has played spoilsport for a couple of encounters for the Brave now, with their latest Ford Trophy match also being washed out completely. Nevertheless, if weather permits, there is bound to be entertaining cricket in the Super Smash like always, especially at the start of the season where all the teams are hungry to grab positive momentum, setting up a cracker of a match. Here are my three best betting tips from the OV vs NB match prediction.

OV vs NB Team Bet:

One team has the definite edge over the other given their form and past history. Thus, I have picked the perfect team bet tip for you from the OV vs NB head-to-head encounter.

Northern Brave to win

Otago Volts are going through some grave performance deficits at the moment. This season so far, they have played four Plunket Shield games, registering a victory but losing two fixtures. The latest defeat came against the Northern Brave themselves, as they got mauled by a huge margin of an innings and 74 runs. In the Super Smash opener against the Central Districts, they suffered yet another defeat, getting the target of 185 chased with relative ease in a 5-wicket loss. The Ford Trophy opener didn’t go to plan either, resulting in a 13-run loss against Wellington taking their loss tally to 4 of 6 in the 2021/22 season overall. While Northern Brave haven’t had the best start either, they have definitely fared better than their rivals, winning one of their two Plunket Shield games while suffering defeats against the formidable defending champions Canterbury in both first-class and List-A cricket. Last season, Northern Brave had finished a respectable fourth with five wins and losses apiece, narrowly missing out on the playoffs. Otago Volts, meanwhile, had finished dead last in the table securing just two victories in 10 games and being 12 points adrift of their upcoming opponents. In their latest completed T20 encounter which took place in February, Northern Brave had cruised to a 36-run victory. Thus, they are the definite favourites for this next clash and you can comfortably bet your money on them.

OV vs NB Player Bets:

Both the lineups are filled with potential stars who will be itching to score big runs upon the T20 season’s commencement. After contemplating all possible combinations, I have picked the two perfect player bet tips for you from the OV vs NB head to head encounter.

Hamish Rutherford to score over 22.5 runs

Former international star for the Black Caps, Hamish Rutherford has been back at his very best in recent times. In the ongoing season, he has already scored two first-class centuries and a fifty in four Plunket games, but saved his best for white ball cricket. Playing in the Super Smash opener against Central Districts, the top-order batsman hammered a stunning 82 off just 47 deliveries, lacing his innings with 4 boundaries and a stunning 7 maximums. The 32-year-old now has 10 30-plus scores in his last 16 innings, aggregating 736 runs boasting a brilliant average of 46. Last season as well, the Otago Volts batsman had tallied an impressive 281 runs from 7 List-A matches at a terrific average of 40.14, slightly above a Plunket Shield average of 39.20. The veteran is simply in sensational form and there are all the signs of him easing past 22.5 runs in the coming match. To take on this OV vs NB player bet tip, visit Pari Match and take up their excellent odds of 1.87.

Jeet Raval to score over 20.5 runs

Another man with heaps of international experience primed to score big is Jeet Raval. The opener has a Test average of 30-plus after 24 games, along with a List-A average of 30.74 and quite a decent average of 22.94 in T20s, which should be enough to establish his credentials across all formats of the game. However, of late he has been particularly great with the bat, scoring a fantastic 89 in his latest Plunket Shield game against Otago Volts themselves. This was followed by a flamboyant 74 coming off just 57 balls in the Ford Trophy opener against Canterbury, taking his season’s tally to 209 runs at an average of 52.25 across tournaments. In the Super Smash last season, Raval had aggregated an impressive 94 runs in three outings, averaging an excellent 31.33. Even in the abandoned match, the opener blitzed his way to a brilliant 33 off just 18 balls before being stumped. Across his last 11 fixtures as a batsman, the 33-year-old has collected 651 runs in his kitty at a brilliant average of 47.77. Thus, Jeet Raval looks all set to extend his good streak of scores into the Super Smash opener against Otago Volts. To take on this OV vs NB player bet tip, visit PariMatch and accept their typically fantastic odds of 1.87.
