Otago vs Auckland Chance of Winning

Otago head into this game after a disappointing end to the Super Smash this season. They have struggled for consistency so far in this tournament and would be hoping to turn things around as they need wins in the last four matches to make the playoffs this season. In the last match they were beaten by Canterbury.

Much like their opponents, Auckland did not have a great start in the second half of the campaign as they lost the last match against Central Districts. Regardless of the result they have four wins in six matches and are second on the table. As per our calculations, Auckland are favourites in the upcoming game.

  • Otago ’ chances of winning - 45%
  • Auckland’ chances of winning - 55%

Otago vs Auckland Betting Odds

Otago to have a better opening partnership than Auckland

Auckland and Otago head into this game after both sides have had contrasting campaigns thus far and a win for either team would have ramification on the points table. Auckland lost the last match against Central Districts but that doesn't change the fact they have been brilliant so far. Auckland have won four matches so far and are currently second on the table. On the other hand, Otago have struggled thus far as they have two wins in six matches and are currently fifth on the table. Both sides went head to head earlier this season and Auckland won the game with four wickets to spare but it was Otago who had a better opening partnership on the day which makes us believe they would once again end up having a better opening stand in the upcoming game.
