Betting Tips
The top bowler of the game to be Jaydon Lennox
5.00
Lennox has picked up 12 wickets in his last nine games with a healthy strike rate of 16. He is certainly worth a punt.
Dean Foxcroft to emerge as the top batter of the encounter
4.70
Foxcroft is in terrific form off late in this format. He is scoring runs with an average of 49.4. He could very well have another great game.
Central Districts to score over 25 runs from their first three overs
1.86
The Central Districts’ top order was in good nick in their last game, with batters such as Jack Boyle and Dane Cleaver scoring runs quickly. We like this betting market a lot and think it has a great chance of paying out.

CD vs OV Toss Prediction
We have seen just three domestic T20 games played at Fitzherbert Park in Palmerston North. Two of these games have been won by the team batting first. If this indicates pitch behavior, the skipper winning the coin flip may opt to bat first and set a big score on the board when the wicket is at its best.
Pitch and Conditions
The Fitzherbert Park surface will, for the most part, favor the batters and bowlers. It is a flat wicket with a little bit of bounce, which allows the quicks to exploit the conditions early on. However, the surface slows down and becomes conducive to spinners. We are likely to get partially cloudy conditions for this contest.
There might even be some interruption, but the rain is expected to stay away during the afternoon and evening.
CD vs OV Betting Tips
The two teams are currently in the points table's first and second positions. You can expect a keen fight in this encounter, with both teams looking to attain the numero uno position in the points table. Overall, if we have to pick a winner, it might be safe to opt for Central Districts because of their stronger batting lineup and home advantage.
Bet on the Central Districts to win.
