Otago Volts vs Wellington Firebirds match prediction 15th match

OV vs WF Match 15 Predictions & Betting Tips

Wellington Firebirds will look to return to winning ways in a bid to replicate last season’s feat when they face Otago Volts in Queenstown on 28th of December. Here, I have picked the three best Super Smash 2021 betting tips for you from the OV vs WF match prediction.

Coming into the tournament as reigning champions, Wellington haven’t got off to the best of starts with losing on three occasions while winning a single game in four matches. As a consequence, they were pushed down to fifth place in the table standings with a net run rate of -0.436. On the other hand, Otago are very far off. They won only once while losing thrice which placed them fourth in the table with an extra point from their draw. Both teams will crave for a victory here to climb further up to end the year on a positive note. Therefore, have a look at my three best betting tips from the OV vs WF match prediction.

OV vs WF Player Bets:

I have picked two players to score high whereas a player to dismiss early in the upcoming OV vs WF head-to-head match. Take a look.

Rutherford to excel with the bat

Hamish Rutherford opens for Otago Volts in the Super Smash 2021. He is the top run getter for his team and has amassed a total of 159 runs in 4 matches he played so far with an average of an amazing 39.75. The batter has been fantastic in the simultaneous First-class and List A cricket formats and proven to be a major batting asset for Otago in domestic affairs. Rutherford holds an average hovering mid 30s in longer formats but has an average of 25.78 in his 155 T20 career games. This figure does not look convincing on the surface but the next few lines might convince you otherwise. Rutherford started his campaign with an impeccable knock of 82 runs against Central Districts. However, he hit a bump on the road with his early dismissals at 8 & 7 runs in the next two outings but he retaliated by hitting 62 runs against Canterbury in his previous game. This instills a lot more confidence for the batter as well as the bookmakers who are eyeing Rutherford for yet another smashing innings in the upcoming OV vs WF head-to-head encounter. The batter has recovered successfully from a failed campaign in the last season of the tournament which is evident from his performance in the Plunket Shield where he is batting with an average of 53.00 currently. To conclude, Rutherford will look to capitalise the opportunity of batting against a weaker bowling front of Wellington and is more likely to excel with his bat for the OV vs WF match predictions. To grab the betting tip, log on to Pari Match and earn yourself a huge payday.

Michael Bracewell to score high

MG Bracewell has been the key contributor for the only win this season and is the grip required in Wellington for the ongoing tournament. He has amassed a total of 105 runs in 3 innings for Wellington with an average of 52.50 and a strike rate of 123.52. He scored 27 and 20 runs respectively against Canterbury in their two initial scheduled fixtures, one of which earned them the only victory in the competition. He went on to smash an unbeaten 58 in his recent outing against Auckland which wasn’t enough for the victory against the strong AUK squad. Nevertheless, he compensates for his weak squad with his fiery batting potential. The 30 year old left hand batter has played a total of 82 T20 innings where he mustered 1798 runs at an average of 28.09. This includes nine half centuries including the one from his previous brave outing. Bracewell has done considerably better in longer formats which means he likes to take his time to establish himself on the crease before he could start firing runs with his bat. Michael Bracewell is the batting pillar for his team and being wary of that, he has taken upon his shoulders to slip in as many runs as he could in his recent outings, Pari Match will offer you the best player odds in the market and you should pick this safe bet for handsome returns.

Tim Robinson to bundle out early

Tim Robinson, a fresher playing amongst the seasoned players of the tournament, was overwhelmed in the recent games of the tournament. The debutant has played his first 4 games of his career with the 20 over format. He has played four T20 games where he was able to manage only 48 runs in four matches at an average of a low 12.00. The team is patient and wants him to spend more time on the pitch but the opposition bowling attack has not been as merciful, sending him back pretty early with single digit totals on three occasions. He has scored 2, 5, 32 and 9 runs in the four games so far and failed to deliver an eye-catching batting display. On a brighter note, his consistency is more likely to benefit you in the colourful exploits for the OV vs WF match predictions. With that being said, you should visit Pari Match and pick Robinson for the best player bet to make yourself a little richer than today.
