ND vs OV Toss Prediction
We have had 19 domestic T20 games played at the venue of Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. The teams chasing the target have won 12 games, while the teams batting first have won six. So, the skipper reading this record is likely to opt to chase on this track.
Pitch and Conditions
This venue at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui is a high-scoring ground, especially in T20 cricket. Traditionally, spinners have done better at this venue and have a superior economy rate. Although batting first might be a good idea, it is ideal to chase on this track.
There is a possibility of getting showers on a Saturday evening, and the temperature during the contest will remain close to 18 degrees.
ND vs OV Betting Tips
The Otago team is currently ranked second in the points table. The Northern Districts have not had a great time in the middle and are currently in fourth position. We also think that the Otago Volts have a stronger batting lineup.
Bet on Otago Volts to win.
