Last game for the two teams in the group and everyone is looking for the victory for different reasons. Otago wants to qualify and not depend on the results of the other matches, while Royals want to secure the first place and play the semi-final on their stadium.
Although I see enough value in winning Otago, I can not bet the point because in India it's always hard to win a local team. But where I find some value is in the markets for the performance of the players and more specifically Ian Butler's performance.
The New Zealander is currently in the top three wicket-takers of the tournament and in previous games he has had awesome odds with 3 wickets per match. In the last game of Otago, however, his performance fluctuated in shallow and did not get any wicket. Despite this weakness, he entered as the last batsman and led Otago to the extension, the so-called superover, where they won the victory.
It is anticipated that Butler will want to return to good appearances in such a crucial fight and improve his tournament stats. The player gets 1 points for each run, 10 points for each catch and 20 points for each wicket. The good thing about Butler is that beyond the wickets he can perform as a batsman if he is invited to join and make a good number of runs. And it's always possible to catch some.
You will find this market in the player's performances of Rajastan Royals - Otago.
