The first boundary hit for Wellington Firebirds to be a four
1.75
This is a simple probability play. There are more fours hit than are sixes. Esepecially in the powerplay with the field restrictions. Make the most of this betting market.
Logan van Beek to be top bowler of the match
4.40
Van Beek has 16 scalps from his last ten games for Wellington, with a strike rate of 13.56. He also picked up three wickets in his last game against CD
Central Districts to score less than 41 runs in their first six overs
2.74
All the CD top-order batters are in good nick. However, they took their time to score their runs in the powerplay in their last game. Another cautious start here, with CD scoring less than 41 runs in the powerplay looks possible.

WF vs CD Toss Prediction
We have seen as many as 42 domestic T20 games played at Basin Reserve in Wellington. The teams batting first have won 22 matches, while the teams chasing a target have won 19. Although there is no clear evidence, the teams have done slightly better while batting initially. So, the skipper winning the coin flip may choose to bat first and set a target.
Pitch and Conditions
The surface at the Basin Reserve will be conducive to bowling. Over the years, the Pacers have done well at this venue. They can extract pace and bounce from the track when it is new. There might be some lateral movement from the pitch. We are expecting partially cloudy conditions for this contest.
The temperature during the game will remain close to 14 degrees.
WF vs CD Betting Tips
Central Districts have a stronger batting lineup and while their recent record against Wellington Firebirds is not the greatest, we feel they have the momentum on their side to be able to cause an upset.
Bet on the Central Districts to win.
