Queensland are favourites to win
Victoria and Queensland both lost their previous fixtures against New South Wales. With 16 and 17 points respectively, they are occupying the top two positions on the points table. These two teams are set to face each other on October 18 at the Drummoyne Oval, Sydney. This will be the 19th match of the Matador BBQS One-Day Cup 2016 and the winner of this match will automatically qualify for the final on October 23. Live action is scheduled to begin at 10:30 AM local time.
Read on for our betting tips and match prediction for Victoria vs Queensland, Matador BBQS One-Day Cup 2016 19th match....
Three of their top order batsmen - Finch, Maxwell and Wade - are all Australian international regulars and Victoria's batting performance will depend on their contributions. The remaining one is Cameron White who is the highest run-scorer of the tournament with 384 runs under his belt. He also has scored the most runs for Victoria in the history of the tournament from this current squad and we expect him to top-score in this match.
Marcus Stoinis, Michael Beer and Jon Holland have all taken six wickets each in the five games they have played so far this season, and the trio will be Victoria's best bet to cause problems for the Queensland batsmen. While Stoinis is going to be the main weapon in their pace attack, left-armers Beer and Holland will be the key in their spin attack. Holland bagged three scalps in the last game and he could be the top bowler for Victoria.
Joe Burns and Marnus Labuschagne will be Queensland's best men at the top while middle-order batting is going to rely mainly on Nathan Reardon and skipper Jason Floros. Burns has a total of 1061 runs from his 34 Australian domestic one-day innings and is currently the leading run-scorer for his side this year. A healthy contribution from him on Tuesday is likely on the cards.
Seam bowlers Ben Cutting, Luke Feldman and Michael Neser have done a decent job for Queensland this season and so the Victorian batters will look to play them with caution. Of the three, it is Cutting who is more likely to finish with the best bowling figures in this match. The pacer has taken 68 wickets from 49 matches in the past and he also gave his team three crucial breakthroughs in the last match.
Victoria are definitely the stronger team on paper with the likes of Finch, Maxwell, White, Wade, Christian and Siddle in the side. With so much international talent in the team, they are short favorites with 1xbet and bet365 with best odds of 1.58 and 1.57 respectively. Queensland are 2.52 with betfair and 2.37 with bet365. So wagering on Queensland who have beaten Victoria in their last six face-offs seems to be a safer bet.
Perhaps the biggest advantage that Queensland have over Victoria is the fact that they have beaten them in their six previous match-ups. So it has been a while since Victoria last won a match against Queensland. The latter also have a stronger head-to-head record with 28 wins from 51 matches. The former have won 22 of them and the remaining one game did not produce a result.
Victoria will be playing for the first time at this ground this season while Queensland played their last game here against New South Wales. Though they ended up on the losing side in that match, they will still have a better idea of how the pitch is going to play.
Victoria have been very good this year and they have plenty of international names on their roster. However, statistics from the past make us confident enough in predicting Queensland to win this match.
