Otago vs Central Districts Chance of Winning

Otago have had a dismal campaign last season and once again they have struggled to make an impact so far. Otago remain the only winless team in this tournament and are currently sixth on the table. In the last match they got swept away by Wellington who won the game by 171 runs.

Unlike their opponents, Central Districts had a decent start to the tournament as they won two of the first three matches but they head into this game after back to back draws and need a perfect run if they aspire to finish at the top of the table. As per our calculations, Central Districts are favourites in the upcoming game.

Otago vs Central Districts Betting Odds

Central Districts to have a better opening partnership than Otago

Central Districts and Otago head into the match after both sides have struggled in the last few games. Central Districts have drawn each of the last two games and Otago has lost the last two matches and are the only team yet to register a single win in this campaign and are currently sixth on the table. On the other hand, Central Districts have lost just once so far and are currently fourth on the table. They need a perfect run in the remaining games to have a chance of winning the championship. Both sides went head to head earlier this season and Central Districts registered a comfortable win as they won the match with eight wickets to spare. They also had a better opening partnership on the day which makes us believe Central Districts would have a better opening stand in the upcoming game.

Max Chu to be Otago’ top batter

Max Chu has been the most consistent batter for Otago this season and even though he did not have a great game in the last outing, Chu is the leading run scorer for his side which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Dane Cleaver to be Central Districts’ top batter

Dane Cleaver was brilliant in the last game as he scored a century against Auckland. So far this season Cleaver has scored 430 runs and is the leading run scorer for his side which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Jarrod McKay continued his impressive form in the last game as he bagged five wickets in the game and with 21 wickets so far, Mckay is the leading wicket taker for his side which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Blair Tickner to be Central Districts’ top bowler

Blair Tickner missed the last game but we expect him to return in the starting lineup as with 13 wickets thus far, Tickner is the leading wicket taker for his side which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
