Auckland have been extremely inconsistent during the Mitre 10 Cup and they have suffered some heavy defeats, so it is tough to get them as short as their current price. Otago have been unlucky not to be sitting towards the top of the Championship Division in the Mitre 10 Cup and they are outstanding value at their current price.
Mikhail Youzhny is capable of a stellar performance on his day – we saw this when he pushed Roger Federer at the US Open – but that sort of effort is few and far between. Fabio Fognini has a hold/break percentage on hardcourts that is clearly superior to that of Youzhny and he should be a clear favourite.
Australia were comfortably beaten by India in the opening clash of this ODI Series, but there is not as much between these two sides as the current betting market indicates. Both these teams have a number of game-breakers that can single-handily change the outcome of a match and the Aussies are value at their current quote.
