Northern 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 28.91 & 17.25 respectively in the competition. The team has posted the scores of 41, 1, 9, 76, 4, 5 & 16 runs before 1st dismissal in the 1st innings of their outings. Robinson has been going out pretty cheaply in the last four games. That said, they will be expected to lose an early wicket in the next game.

Northern Districts vs Wellington Toss Prediction

The upcoming match is scheduled to take place at Seddon Park, Hamilton. Northern Districts, the home team, have had a successful run at this venue, winning both matches they played here this season. They secured a commanding innings victory against Otago last year and recently clinched a hard-fought win against Auckland. In the two matches completed at Seddon Park this season, teams winning the toss have opted to field first. This trend suggests that the conditions might favor bowling initially, putting pressure on the opposing batters.

Weather Report

The weather forecast isn't promising, as rain is anticipated to interrupt play on multiple occasions throughout the four days. The pitch might retain moisture, potentially making it sticky and challenging for run-scoring, particularly if the bowlers find their rhythm.
