Central Districts vs Otago Chance of Winning

Otago had a disappointing start to the campaign as they were winless in the first three games. Otago managed to turn things around as they head into this fixture after two wins in the last three games and are currently fourth on the table, two points off the playoff spots. In the last game, Otago outplayed the defending champions as Northern Knights were bowled out for 128 and Otago eventually won the game with eight wickets to spare.

Central Districts have struggled throughout the season as they have one win in six games and another loss in the upcoming game could make things really hard for the Central Districts as they are currently fifth on the table, two points shy of Otago. In the last game, Central Districts failed to defend a first innings score of 158 against Wellington and eventually lost the game with four wickets to spare. As per our calculations, Otago are slight favourites heading into this game

• Central Districts’s chances of winning - 45%
• Otago’s chances of winning - 55%

Central Districts vs Otago Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

Jake Gibson had a phenomenal campaign last year as he ended up with 266 runs with an average of 33.25. Gibson did not have the best of games against Central Districts last season and this year has struggled to find consistency which makes us believe he would struggle to score well in the upcoming fixture.

Bagley Wiggins did not have a great campaign last term and has once again struggled to score this term. In the four games thus far, Wiggins has scored 14 runs with an average of 3.50 which is pretty poor for a top order batsmen which makes us believe he would struggle to score well in the upcoming game.

Central Districts vs Otago Match Toss Prediction

Historically the chance of winning for teams batting first and bowling first at the venue is 50%. Both sides would feel they have enough firepower to chase in this game which makes us believe both sides would prefer to bowl first at the venue.

Weather Report

Central Districts vs Otago Betting Odds

Otago to have a better opening partnership than Central Districts

Central Districts and Otago haven’t had a great campaign thus far which makes this head to head encounter a must win for both sides. Otago had an underwhelming start to the campaign as they lost the first two games but have managed to turn things around and have won two of the last three games. Otago and Central Districts squared off twice last season and on both occasions Otago won the game and more importantly they have a better opening partnership in both matches. This season Central Districts have struggled throughout the campaign and have been second best in all departments. So far this season, Central Districts have managed an opening stand of 2, 12, 7 and 2. What makes this tip even more enticing is the fact Central Districts has conceded a bigger opening stand in each of the last four games which makes us believe Otago would have a better opening stand in the upcoming fixture.

Central Districts vs Otago Top Team Batters

Dane Cleaver to be Central Districts’s top batter

Dane Cleaver has been the most consistent batsmen for Central Districts in this campaign and has been the only batsmen for Central Districts who has shown up in this campaign. In the last three games, Cleaver scored 42, 47 and 29 which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Dean Foxcroft to be Otago’s top batter

Dean Foxcroft was sensational last year as he was the leading run scorer for his side and this year once again he has showcased his class and with 143 runs is the leading run scorer this term. Foxcroft scored 66 and 46* in the last two outings against Central Districts which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Central Districts vs Otago Top Team Bowlers

Bevan Small to be Central Districts’s top bowler

We are going to stick with Bevan Small once again as he was sensational in the last game against Wellington as he ended up with 4/22. After an underwhelming performance in the opening game, Small managed to turn things around as he ended up with nine wickets in the last three games which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Travis Muller to be Otago’s top bowler

Even though Travis Muller did not have a great outing in the last game, has been one of the most consistent bowlers for Otago in this tournament and with seven wickets is the leading wicket taker for Otago thus far which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Otago

Central Districts have edged Otago in head to head battle in this competition but last year was a different story as Otago outplayed Central Districts and did a double against them in the group stages. Looking at the form of both sides, it feels odd that the bookmakers have tagged Central Districts as favourites in this game. We believe Otago would register a comfortable win come Jan 10.

• Central Districts to win @ 1.68 (PariMatch)
