Central Districts vs Wellington Betting Tips
Wellington to score low before 1st dismissal
Wellington are having a great season in the competition. They have a fantastic line-up of batters in the team. Their openers Troy Johnson and Nick Greenwood started the team’s innings in the beginning of the competition. Johnson was replaced by Tim Robinson who does not look in a good form this season. Nick Greenwood and Tim Robinson average at 30.22 & 14.00 respectively in the competition. The team has posted the scores of 41, 1, 9, 76 & 4 runs before 1st dismissal in the 1st innings of their outings. Robinson has been going out pretty cheaply in the last three games. That said, they will be expected to lose an early wicket in the next game.
Central Districts vs Wellington Toss Prediction
Fitzherbert Park in Palmerston North is a really great cricket field for batters. The pitch is well-maintained and gives a fair surface for playing. It's nice for batsmen because the ball bounces well and it's easy to hit. But for bowlers, especially at the beginning of the game, there are chances to do well and take wickets. Both skippers will look to chase down the total in this match.
Weather Report
