Odds available at Betfair at time of publishing
Birmingham Phoenix is my pick to win against Southern Brave. Both teams are pretty close in skill, so it feels like a bit of a coin flip. The Rose Bowl is known for lots of runs, with past games averaging around 271 total runs, which means we should see some exciting batting. If Birmingham can get their batting going, they have a good chance to pull off the win. Just remember, anything can happen in cricket, so this is a bit of a long shot, but it could be fun to cheer for them! It was priced at +126 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $22.60 if it lands. This one is priced as an outside chance. Our model has this as a long shot, so keep the stake small. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move.
That is how our model reads Southern Brave v Birmingham Phoenix. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back anything. And if a game does not feel right to you, the strongest move is to skip it -- there is another one tomorrow.
