Northern Knights vs Central Districts Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Katene Clarke has had a disappointing showing thus far in this tournament. In the four games, Clarke has scored 46 runs with an average of 9.2 runs which is pretty low for a top order batsman. We expect Clarke’s struggles to continue and him to score low in the upcoming game.
Jack Boyle has had a solid campaign for Central Districts thus far as he has scored 201 runs thus far with an average of 28.71. In the last game against Canterbury in difficult conditions, Boyle scored 21 and 72 which makes us believe he would have a great second half of the campaign and would score well in the upcoming game.
