kevshat Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 After a pretty one sided Test series, New Zealand and Sri Lanka join the rest of the world in getting ready for the World Cup by playing seven ODIs over the coming weeks. ODIs in New Zealand are always exciting with the small grounds and this should be no different. All seven matches are live on Sky in the UK. Schedule: [h=2]1st ODI: New Zealand v Sri Lanka at Christchurch - Jan 11, 2015[/h] Match scheduled to begin at 11:00 local time (22:00 GMT) [h=2]2nd ODI: New Zealand v Sri Lanka at Hamilton - Jan 15, 2015[/h] Match scheduled to begin at 14:00 local time (01:00 GMT) [h=2]3rd ODI: New Zealand v Sri Lanka at Auckland - Jan 17, 2015[/h] Match scheduled to begin at 14:00 local time (01:00 GMT) [h=2]4th ODI: New Zealand v Sri Lanka at Nelson - Jan 20, 2015[/h] Match scheduled to begin at 11:00 local time (22:00 GMT) [h=2]5th ODI: New Zealand v Sri Lanka at Dunedin - Jan 23, 2015[/h] Match scheduled to begin at 11:00 local time (22:00 GMT) [h=2]6th ODI: New Zealand v Sri Lanka at Dunedin - Jan 25, 2015[/h] Match scheduled to begin at 11:00 local time (22:00 GMT) [h=2]7th ODI: New Zealand v Sri Lanka at Wellington - Jan 29, 2015[/h] Match scheduled to begin at 14:00 local time (01:00 GMT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevshat Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Re: New Zealand vs Sri Lanka - ODI Series ODI Series preview: 3pts Sri Lanka to win ODI series 2/1 Skybet With New Zealand having a couple of injury concerns to sort out in the early part of this series and their weakness against scoring quickly off quality spin I think Sri Lanka offer a bit of value here. The longer the series goes the more likely they are to have Lasith Malinga back which will be a big boost and you sense they are just a little more settled than New Zealand so at 2/1 they’re my series pick.

kevshat Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Re: New Zealand vs Sri Lanka - ODI Series Series top bat previews: 3pts K.Williamson Top NZ Series Batsman 12/5 Bet365 You have to be a good player of spin to profit against Sri Lanka and without a doubt New Zealand’s best player of spin is Kane Williamson. It just so happens that he is in fantastic form as well and I think he is the man to beat here. Williamson has shown he can play himself in and then attack and I expect him to score big runs in this series. He should play all seven matches so he’ll be hard to beat. Full preview here: http://www.punterslounge.com/new-zealand-vs-sri-lanka-odi-series-betting-kane-williamson-can-fill-his-boots-for-the-hosts 3pts K.Sangakkara Top SL Series Batsman 9/4 Bet365 Kumar Sangakkara is not just a legend of the game but he is a legend of the game in fantastic form and he has already shown in the Test series how he has this New Zealand attack in the palm of his hands. Sangakkara is rumoured to be retiring after the World Cup so I’m sure he will be looking to maximise every match he has left in Sri Lanka blue and I expect him to really fill his boots in this series. Even at 9/4 I see no reason to oppose him.

kevshat Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Re: New Zealand vs Sri Lanka - ODI Series 1st ODI preview: 4pts New Zealand Most 6s 4/5 Skybet Given how short the boundaries are this ground is going to be pretty tough to defend so I’m not really interested in the match odds here. One bet which does interest me is New Zealand to hit the most sixes. We’ve seen throughout 2014 that Sri Lanka don’t hit a lot of sixes and if we think back to the Test match Brendon McCullum went mental with sixes here so I’m expecting New Zealand to hit the most in this match.

kevshat Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Re: New Zealand vs Sri Lanka - ODI Series 2nd ODI preview: 4pts S.Senanayake's Performance Pts - 30&Over 5/6 Bet365 This isn’t really a ground to be betting on the match result because it is almost impossible to defend with the short boundaries. The better bet could be to jump on Sachithra Senanayake’s performance total. Since he returned from having his action reviewed he has taken seven wickets in three matches including two in the first ODI. New Zealand are notoriously poor at playing spin and miss their best player of spin in this game in Williamson so I fancy Sri Lanka’s mystery spinner to go well again here.

kevshat Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Re: New Zealand vs Sri Lanka - ODI Series 3rd ODI preview: 4pts Sri Lanka to win 3rd ODI 5/4 Skybet I’m not usually one for betting on the match on this ground because once again it is impossible for a side to defend it but it might be a little easier for Sri Lanka to defend a score here because at the minute New Zealand’s batting line up is literally Brendon McCullum or nothing so if he goes early New Zealand could struggle. Sri Lanka look a lot more solid with the bat and that can provide the difference here.

kevshat Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Re: New Zealand vs Sri Lanka - ODI Series 4th ODI preview: 4pts B.McCullum Over 26.5 runs 4/5 Paddy Power Brendon McCullum has been in fine form in this series with a 50 and a century in the opening two matches and there is absolutely nothing that Sri Lanka have with the new ball that is going to trouble him so I expect him to go well again in this match. He has been very aggressive so far but with Martin Guptill finding form again in Auckland he may not need to be as attacking here which should help his chances to go past 26.5 runs again.

kevshat Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Re: New Zealand vs Sri Lanka - ODI Series 5th ODI preview: 4pts T.Dilshan's Performance Pts - 36&Over 5/6 Bet365 We’re at the stage of the series and the closeness to the World Cup where team line ups are going to change which puts me off betting on the matches themselves so I’ll stick to player markets here and the player I like in this match is Tillakaratne Dilshan. He has a performance line of 36 for this match which he has covered in eight of his last nine completed ODIs. He has covered it with the bat in the last two matches of this series but with his potential for scoring with the ball and in the field this looks an achievable line again.

kevshat Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Re: New Zealand vs Sri Lanka - ODI Series 6th ODI preview: 4pts L.Ronchi's Performance Pts - 34&Over 5/6 Bet365 Once again we’re at the stage of the series and proximity to the World Cup where I’m not interested in the match result and will again target the player markets. I’m surprised Dilshan’s performance target has only gone up one point given he made a second century in the series in the previous game but it is Luke Ronchi I like here. Ronchi set all kinds of records with the bat on Friday and has looked good with the willow all summer. With the quality of seamers New Zealand have he’s always in the game behind the stumps and having covered a 34pt total in three of the four completed games so far I like him to cover it again here.

kevshat Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Re: New Zealand vs Sri Lanka - ODI Series 7th ODI preview: 4pts M.Guptill Under 31.5 runs 5/6 Paddy Power Martin Guptill’s form has to be a concern for New Zealand leading into the World Cup. He made 28 in the last game in Dunedin but he should’ve been out three times rather than the one time he was out. He has a runs line of 31.5 for this match which he has covered just once in the series and even that didn’t look too convincing. He has only passed that total once in four innings in ODIs on this ground too so I’m happy that the line is too high.

soniya111 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Re: New Zealand vs Sri Lanka - ODI Series At this time New Zealand team is in the better form. He can win ICC world cup 2015 according to their performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
