MODCLogoCouch Critic previews Lions v Cobras in the Momentum One Day Cup including best bets with @Olimp_SA

 

 

 

 

 

MOMENTUM ONE DAY CUP

 

Local domestic cricket is back up and running in South Africa. Here we have a look one of the upcoming matches in the competition (this time from Pool B) and try and identify a few winners from a punting perspective.

 

Cobras vs Lions, 22 Jan @ 10:00. Potchefstroom

 

Potch didn’t treat cricket fans at all well last week with a number of games being rained out. This time it seems we should get a game as Pool B action gets underway.

 

The Cobras and Lions will be chomping at the bit to get their first taste of the action after a long break away from the field.

 

Whilst fans and punters will go into these initial clashes blind in terms of team news and form, it goes without saying that the bookies will also be scratching their heads somewhat. This often leaves us with an opportunity to uncover some value. Here is my attempt at finding a few good bets.

 

Betolimp Best Bets

 

Top Cobras Bowler – Sifiso Mahima @ 5.50

The slow left arm spinner was in good form in the inter-squad warm-ups and I’m looking for the Bolander to make his mark early in the big leagues. Senwespark is usually a track which favours the tweakers.

 

Top Lions Bowler – Sisanda Magala @ 4.33

New in the Lion’s den we haven’t seen much since being sent to fat camp by the Protea selectors. Having been overlooked for the white ball tour squad to Pakistan the stocky death bowler should be keen to impress.

 

Top Cobras Batsman – Jean du Plessis @ 7.50

Southern Cape cricket enthusiasts will know the young keeper-batsmen from SWD well. With Verreynne away on national duty it offers the ex SA age group representative the opportunity to take the gloves and hopefully get an extended run at the Cape Franchise. Du Plessis is no dasher but likes to build an innings. He comes into the opener fresh off a century in the warmup game.
