PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
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.
Venue Details
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.
Toss: To Bowl
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.
WF vs CD
Winning Prediction
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.
