24-Oct-14 - Momentum One-Day Cup - Lions v Dolphins - Cricket Betting Tips

Momentum One-Day Cup
24-Oct-14 - 13.00 GMT
Potchefstroom



Lions and Dolphins are playing against each other for the second time in this tournament. In their first match Lions scored 233 and Dolphins were 1/1 before rain washed the game out.

Both the teams have Played 4, Won 2, Lost 1 and No Result 1. Dolphins are placed 2nd because of a better Net Run Rate.

Looking at the odds: Lions are @ 4/5 and Dolphins are @ 1/1.







Lions

Lions have scored 260, 233, 291 and 284. They have won both their matches by restricting their oppositions. The match they chased they lost.

This is the story of this tournament so far. With dew making a miss, teams have found chasing difficult under the lights.

Lions are missing the service of De Kock due to international duty. Their highest score in this tournament has come from the match De Kock played.

Their bowling stock is completely dependent on two bowlers,  Tsotsobe and Viljoen. Between them they have managed 65% of the wickets taken by Lions.

Dolphins

Delport and Van Wyk, the only names that needs a discussion in their batting. If they score a decent amount of runs Dolphins won. Else they lost or were staring at defeat. The middle order is comparatively stronger than Lions.

Dolphins are also missing a player due to international duties. Imran Tahir played one match and took one wicket. But his miserly bowling in the middle overs could not be replaced yet by the Dolphins. Every match they have tried someone different gives you the proof.

Final Thoughts

There are many similarities between these teams. They need their top order to fire so that the middle order can capitalize. The bowling department is dependent on two bowlers. The middle order is deep and strong but shaky and inconsistent. They are strong on paper but can be surprised by any team.

Bet365 is not opening the match In-Play. Check with your bookmakers. This tournament lacks news flow. I'm slightly worried about that.

Tip

For the previous match Dolphins were favorites with the bookmakers. But Lions are favorites this match. I don't know what made them shift the odds like that. So going with Dolphins again with low stakes.

Dolphins @ Evens - 0.25$

If your bookmaker opens the match In-Play, then play for swing of fortunes at 6/4 or 7/4.

Bank as of 22-October - 129$
