Bet NowSuper Smash League has been pretty one sided this season with three teams comfortably three other teams and sealing their spot in the knockouts with 2-3 games remaining. Wellington and Central Districts the two teams in contention in this match assured of their place in the knockouts. Wellington are sitting pretty at the top and will look to seal the first place in the table so that they can directly go into the finals. Central Districts have an outside chance to top the table if they can beat Wellington and go ahead in the points table and NRR. We expect a cracking contest between two quality teams vying for a direct place in finals.
Devon Conway (50 runs) and Tom Blundell (62* runs) lead the chase for the Wellington last night against the Canterbury to win by 7 wickets. Finn Allen and Devon Conway feature among the top-10 run scorers for this season and have done the bulk of coring so far.

Van Beek and Younghusband bowled economically and gave just 42 runs in their 7 overs. Their bowling unit has performed well as a unit with 3-4 bowlers maintaining the pressure on the opposition consistently.
Top players to bet on:
Finn Allen – Allen is having a dream season with 357 runs at a superb strike arte of 186 in the 8 matches played so far. His aggressive start at the top will put the opposition bowlers on the back foot early in the match.
Hamish Bennett – Bennett has 10 wickets at an economy rate of just 7 RPO. He is one of the top bowlers of the season in terms of wicket taking ability and restricting the run flow effectively.

Wellington has a bright and sunny weather with less to no chances of rain on the match day. The rains on the previous two days might dampen and store a little moisture under the pitch to help the bowlers early in the match.
Wellington is one of the lively pitches with good balance between bat and ball and the pitch slightly in favour of the batsmen. We expect the average scores to be around 150-170 runs and any score above it will be considered as par.
Early moisture and 3-1 win-loss record chasing at this venue this season will tempt both the captains to bowl first at this venue.
Central Districts have a strong batting line-up with 4 of their players in top-15 run scorers and will pip Wellington marginally. Wellington`s bowling unit performs well as a unit and is hunting as a pack whereas Central Districts suffer as their bowlers leak way too many runs more often. Wellington looks strong on paper considering both the departments with form and momentum on their side. We expect Wellington to win this match.
