Auckland vs Wellington Chance of Winning

Wellington have had a brilliant start to the campaign as they have been by far the best side in the tournament thus far. Wellington played the first two matches against Otago, they won the first game by 74 runs and in the second game they destroyed Otago as they won the match with nine wickets to spare. In the last game they beat the defending champions Northern Knights by 23 runs.

Auckland kickstarted their campaign with a stunning victory against Canterbury in the season opener. Auckland were unlucky as their next two games against Wellington and Central Districts were called off due rain. In the last game, Otago managed to upset the odds as they beat Auckland with three wickets to spare. As per our calculations, Wellington are slight favourites heading into this game.

  • Auckland’s chances of winning - 45%
  • Wellington’s chances of winning - 55%

Auckland vs Wellington Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

Nick Kelly had a disappointing campaign last year as he scored 130 runs in eight innings with an average of 16.25. This year Kelly has had a phenomenal start to the season as he scored 48 off 34 balls in the opening game against Auckland as Wellington won the game by 74 runs and in the second game he scored an unbeaten 11. Even though Kelly did not have a good game against Northern Knights, we believe he would score well in the upcoming game.

Sean Solia had a distraught campaign last season as he managed to score 168 runs last season. In the two games against Wellington even though Auckland won both the games, Solia managed to score 7 and 28. This season, once again Solia have had an underwhelming start to the campaign as he did not have the best of games against Canterbury and Otago which makes us believe he would struggle to score well in the upcoming game.

Auckland vs Wellington Betting Odds

Auckland to have a better opening partnership than Wellington

Auckland and Wellington were the two worst sides in the competitions last year as both sides ended up with 16 points and were fifth and sixth on the table. Wellington have looked sublime this season as they remain the only unbeaten side in the tournament. Auckland have been unfortunate as two of the first four matches were called off due to rain. Even with all the pitfalls in the last campaign, Auckland did a double against Wellington last year and in both matches they had a better opening partnership which makes this tip very lucrative. In the two games thus far Auckland has posted an opening stand of 39 and 26 and in both outings they had a better opening stand in the game which makes us believe Auckland would register a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.

Auckland vs Wellington Top Team Batters

Robert O’ Donnell to be Auckland’s top batter

He was going to stick with Robert O’Donnell once again as he continued his brilliant form in this tournament and was sensational in the opening game against Canterbury as he scored 54 off 38 balls and in the last game scored 35 and was the top scorer in the game which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Tim Robinson to be Wellington’s top batter

Tim Robinson has had a sensational start to the season as he scored a brilliant 139 off 64 balls in the opening game against Otago. In the second game once against Robinson showcased his prowess as he was scored 30* and in the last game once again he was among the runs which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Auckland vs Wellington Top Team Bowlers

Danru Ferns to be Auckland’s top bowler

Danru Ferns did not have a great outing last year as he could not solidify his place in the side and ended up with one wicket in six games. This year it's been a different story as he has looked great in both games thus far as he ended up with 3/30 and 2/29 which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Nathan Smith to be Wellington’s top bowler

Nathan Smith had an exceptional campaign for Wellington last season as with ten wickets, he was the leading wicket taker for Wellington in the tournament. Smith has managed to replicate his form from last season into this campaign as he has already bagged eight wickets in three matches thus far which makes him our top pick for the upcoming game.
