Northern Brave to score under 20.5 runs before 1st dismissal

Northern Brave secured the 3rd position in the ongoing season of Super Smash and will now fight for a place in the finals against Otago Volts. Although they made it to the playoffs, their woes at the top continued throughout. Katene Clarke & Tim Seifert opened the innings for Northern Brave this season in all the matches and posted scores of 14, 60, 18, 8, 79, 15 & 1 runs before the first fall. Although they have averaged 27.85 runs per game for the first wicket, in five out of these seven matches, NB failed to amass our target of 20.5 runs. This entails a 71.42% efficiency of NB to score under 20.5 runs in this game before the first fall. Earlier this season when the two sides collided, NB scored just 15 runs before losing their first against OV. Both Clarke & Seifert are not having the kind of season they would have wished for. Clarke has scored just 165 runs this season at an average of about 23.57 from 8 games. Seifert, on the other hand, scored 152 runs from 8 matches at an average of about 21.71. All of this falls right in favour of this betting tip, thus making it a safe and a reliable one for this game. 1XBET offers the odds of 1.832 for Northern Brave to score under 20.5 runs before the first fall and you should definitely take it for a profitable return.

OV vs NB Player Bet:

We have chosen Llew Johnson as our top player betting tip from the OV vs NB match prediction. Have a look!

Llew Johnson to score under 15.5 runs

Llew Johnson’s roots might be from Canterbury but the 23-year-old batter plays for Otago Volts. The dashing right-handed batsman recovered from a shoulder injury and started playing for his side in the Super Smash. Johnson has limited experience in the domestic circuit. He has only played 27 T20s in his professional career and racked up 364 runs from them at an abysmal average of about 15.16. He is also struggling to gather runs in the ongoing season of Super Smash. In the current season, he has accumulated 136 runs from 10 matches at an average of just 17.00. His last five scores this season read 2, 7, 9, 6 & 22 runs. In four out of these five matches, Llew failed to post a total above our target. This entails a 80% efficiency of Llew Johnson to score under 15.5 runs in this game. Earlier this season when the two sides collided, Johnson managed to score just 13 off 12 balls. We should definitely take advantage of Llew’s pathetic run of form and bag plenty of cash with us. With that said, we have backed Llew Johnson to score under 15.5 runs in this game. To capitalise on this, grab the odds of 1.832 offered by our affiliate partner 1XBET in Llew’s favour from the OV vs NB match prediction.
