Wellington vs Auckland Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Troy Johnson has been one of the most consistent batsman for Wellington thus far. Johnson had a brilliant game against Auckland early on in the campaign as he scored an unbeaten 97. In the last game against Otago, once again he scored a brilliant half century which makes us believe he would score well in the upcoming game.
George Worker did not have a great tournament as he struggled to get going early on in the season. In seven matches, Worker has scored 189 with an average of 27. Since the restart, Worker has managed to turn things around and was exceptional in the last game against Central Districts as he scored a brilliant half century which makes us believe he would struggle to score well in the upcoming game.

Wellington vs Auckland Betting Odds
Wellington to have a better opening partnership than Auckland
Wellington and Auckland head into this game with both sides desperate for points as both sides could miss the playoffs this season. Considering how well Auckland played in the first half of the campaign, they have looked a shadow of themselves in the second half of the season. Auckland head into this game after three back to back defeats and with 13 points are currently fifth on the table, level on points with Otago. Both sides went head to head earlier this season and even though Auckland won the game with ease, Wellington managed to have a better opening partnership on the day. Since the restart, Wellington have won two games thus far and in both games they had a better opening partnership. Looking at this underlying stat, we believe Wellington openers would have a better day and would have a better opening stand in the upcoming game.

Wellington vs Auckland Top Team Batters
Nick Kelly to be Wellington’s top batter
Nick Kelly did not have a great outing in the last game against Otago but that doesn’t change the fact he has been brilliant for Wellington since the restart and has scored a century and a half century in the last three games which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Robert O’ Donnell to be Auckland’s top batter
Even though Robert O’Donnell did not have a great outing against Central Districts, we are going to stick with him once again as he has been one of the most consistent batsman for Auckland this season. With the absence of Finn Allen, he has scored 291 runs thus far which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Wellington vs Auckland Top Team Bowlers
Adam Milne to be Wellington’s top bowler
Even though Adam Milne did not have an exceptional game in the last outing, he still managed to bag two wickets against Otago. Milne has had a sensational campaign thus far and with 12 wickets, he is the leading wicket taker for Wellington this season which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Ben Lister to be Auckland’s top bowler
Auckland bowlers failed to show up in the last game against Central Districts as they were outplayed on the day. Ben Lister managed to hold his own and bowled an outstanding spell on the day as he ended up with bowling figures of 1/29 with an economy of 2.90 which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
