Northern Brave are getting the favourites tag on betting platforms. The team has been ordinary but they have good players who can change the fortunes of the team. The return of Tim Southee and Mitch Santner will bolster the team.
We suggest backing Northern Brave to win. The likes of Tim Seifert and Jeet Raval have shown decent form. Only if a couple of players can lend a helping hand, the team is very capable of posting big scores. Also, they have a strong bowling attack so they will be tough to beat if they get runs on the board.
Jeet Raval, Tim Seifert will be two key players for the Northern Brave. Raval has scored two fifties while Seifert scored 43 in the first game he played. Also, Katene Clarke is due for a big score.
Hemish Rutherford scored 52 in the last game while Glenn Phillips made 38. The two will be the Otago's leading batters in the coming game along with Dean Foxcroft, who has been the team's most consistent batters so far.
Northern Braves' bowling will rest on Neil Wagner and Tim Southee, both of whom are established T20 bowlers. Wagener took three wickets against Wellington. Also, Mitch Santner is a match winner with the ball.
Travis Muller and Andrew Hazledine have been the two most consistent bowlers for Otago this season. Someone while Jake Gibson can also be backed to deliver a good show with the ball.
Northern Brave will start the match as favourites. The team has enough quality in the batting as well as the bowling department. They have endured poor outings in the last two games but that does not take away the fact that they are skilled enough to beat any team on their day. Otago, have been let down by the batters and the team looks to be down on confidence. We are backing Northern Brave to win.
