Auckland vs Wellington Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
William O’Donnell had a stunning start to the campaign as he scored 83 runs in the opening game against Otago. Since then his form has taken a nosedive and has failed to score well in the last three matches. In four games, O’Donnell has scored 83, 16, 6 and 0 averaging 7.3 runs in the last three games which makes us believe he would struggle to score well against Auckland in the upcoming game.
Nick Kelly has had an underwhelming start to the campaign in the Ford Cup and has failed to show up in each of the three games thus far. In the opening game against Canterbury, Kelly failed to open his account and in the second game, Kelly scored 15 off 41 balls. In the last game, once again Kelly struggled as he scored six off 13 balls which makes us believe Kelly would struggle to score well in the upcoming game.

Auckland vs Wellington Betting Odds
Auckland to have a better opening partnership than Wellington
Wellington and Auckland go head to head in what looks like a mismatch and should be an easy outing for Auckland. Even though Auckland has struggled in the Plunket Shield heading into this game they have managed to turn things around and have won three games in the row. On the other hand, Wellington has struggled in this tournament and after going winless in the first three games, Wellington won the last game but remained fifth on the table. One of the biggest differences between the two sides has been the form of opening batsmen. Finn Allen has been in sensational form for Auckland and in the last two matches they have managed an opening partnership of 58 and 196 runs. What makes this tip even more enticing is the fact, Auckland have had a better opening stand in three of the four games which showcases their dominance in the powerplay. Auckland have struggled to get a good start in games and have conceded a bigger opening partnership in two of the three matches which makes us believe Auckland would have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
