Betting notes
How to bet on SA vs AUS 3rd ODI
Four angles worth weighing before you place a bet on this fixture.
- 01
50-over games are won in the middle. Most of the liquidity sits in overs 11-40 and the final ten, which is where South Africa (289-335) and Australia (286-334) will either hit or miss their projections.
- 02
If South Africa vs Australia turns early, in-play markets such as next-over runs and method of dismissal give you another way in without chasing the headline price.
- 03
Senwes Park plays balanced / dry. Price the first-innings total in phases instead of backing a single full-innings number before the toss.
- 04
The previous result is already in South Africa's price. If you think the market has overreacted, the exchange lets you take the other side at 48%.
