In-W vs SA-W 1st ODI Betting Tips

India will take on South Africa in the 1st ODI in Lucknow, on Sunday, March 6. I have gone through the betting markets and laid out the best In-W vs SA-W Match Predictions which are most likely to win you money.

India Women, led by skipper Mithali Raj, have won 4 of the last 5 head to head matches against the South African squad. They won all the three ODI's played in Vadodara in October 2019, and last lost a match on South African soil. This is the first ODI played by Indian Women's cricket team since November 2019, while the South African Women have played 6 matches in the last 2 years against Pakistan and New Zealand, and they won all six matches. This will be a match to look out for because we do not know how it will turn out, because even though India Women are the clear favourites to win, South Africa Women have had more practice and are likely to be in better shape. I have gathered the top In-W vs SA-W betting tips so you can make a winning from the game.

In-W vs SA-W Player Bets

India Women are dominant in most fields against South Africa Women, and the team bets are lower reward bets. I have gathered player bets which are based on batsmen pitched against each other, or Player Performance Points. If you don't know how player performance points work, it's a simple bet, every run scored counts for 1 point, every wicket counts for 20 points, each catch is 10 points and stumping is 25 points. Since the players we are betting on don't consist of a wicket keeper, we are not going to be considering stumping, but all other statistics are taken into account. I have the best IN-W vs SL-W head to head player bets lined up for you.

Batsman Matches: Laura Wolvaardt to score more runs than Lizelle Lee

The first bet revolves around the two openers for South Africa and you should consider this In-W vs SA-W match prediction because it has really good odds for the high chances of winning it has. Laura Woolvaardt has a career average of 45.36 from her 52 ODI innings, while Lizelle Lee has an average of 33.72 from her 84 innings, which is already a good omen for our bet but let's consider their play against India. While we see a remarkable drop in both players' batting stats against India, Laura Wolvaardt still fares better with an average of 25.90 from 10 innings against the team, where Lizelle Lee has an average of 20.78 from her 14 matches against the Indian team. This contrast is even better reflected if we consider their play in India, specially in the last series in India in 2019 which both cricketers played. Lizelle Lee scored 53 runs (0, 40, 13) from the three games at an average of 17.67, whereas Wolvaardt made 131 runs from the games, at an average of 43.67 and she scored more in all the three games. Even if we consider their recent form, Wolvaardt has scored 373 runs from her last 9 matches at an average of 46.25, while Lizelle Lee has scored 306 runs from the same 9 matches at an average of 34.0. While both crickets have had some spectacular innings, Laura Wolvaardt is the best India Women vs South Africa Women Head to head match prediction i have for you. You can make this bet over at Bet365.com who have offered odds of 1.90 in Batsman Matches( Most Runs), where Laura Wolvaardt is going to score higher than Lizelle Lee.

Marizanne Kapp to get higher than 43.5 Player Performance Points

While South Africa Women have a really poor track record against the Indian Cricket team, Marizanne Kapp never fails to impress with her performances. Marizanne Kapp has played 110 ODI matches and come out to bat in 94 innings, from these innings, she has scored 1949 runs at an average of 28.66. So if she gets one wicket, she would easily cross the target with just 24 runs and 1 wicket. From the 110 ODI's Kapp has come out to bat in 105 innings, and gotten 126 wickets! This is an average of just over 1 wicket per match. Now that we know through her statistics that she is completely capable of making this score, let's look at her performances against India. In the last 5 matches played against India, she got 264 points (89, 41, 54, 17, 63) at an average of 52.8 points per match. If we look at just her 1st match of the series against India she has played 3 exclusive series against India, and scored a total of 198 points (54, 63, 81) at an average of 66.0. This is an excellent all-rounder from South Africa, who holds her teams' morale against her opponents. In her last 5 matches, she got over the required points in 4 of her 5 matches, even though she did not get to bat in two of those matches. Marizanne Kapp is one of the safest bets from the In-W vs SA-W head to head match prediction and you can make this bet over at Bet 365.com with odds of 1.83 for Marizanne Kapp to get over 43.5 Player Performance Points from the game.

Smriti Mandhana to get over 39.5 Player Performance Points

Smriti Mandhana is the opener for India since her second match in 2013. She is only a Batsman, and does not bowl, but that is definitely enough for Smriti Mandhana to get over 39.5 Player Performance Points. From her 51 innings, Mandhana averages at 43.08 with 2025 runs scored, which is pretty impressive. Her play in the last few years has been outstanding though. In the last four seasons, Mandhana has been averaging at 66.37, 69.0, 69.8 and a stunning 74.0 from the only match played in the 2019/20 season. She scored 561 runs from her last 10 games with an average of 70.13 and in her last 15 games she has scored above 39.5 runs in 12 games. While she did have a few rough innings at the start of her career, from her last 3 games against the South African Women, she scored a total of 219 runs at an average of 73.0! While her batting is a good enough reason to take this bet, Mandhana has also taken 17 catches in her career, from her 51 games which means that she is likely to take a catch in every third game, giving you an added bonus for this bet. To make this bet, head over to Bet365 who have offered odds of 1.83 for Smriti Mandhana to get over 39.5 Player Performance Points from the match.
