Otago vs Central Districts Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

Jake Gibson had a phenomenal campaign last year but has been a shadow of himself in this campaign. In seven innings, Gibson scored 87 runs thus far with an average of 12.42 which is pretty low for a top order batsman. In the last three games, Gibson scored 0, 8 and 21 which makes us believe he would struggle in the upcoming game and would score low against Central Districts.

One of the main reasons for Central Districts resurgence in this tournament has been the way they have batted and bowled in powerplay. Central Districts head into this game with three wins in the row and in those games, Central Districts has managed to score 54, 45 and 40 and in all three games they have outscored their opponents in the powerplay which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Otago vs Central Districts Match Toss Prediction

Historically the team batting first has had a slight edge at the venue, the last two games at the venue have been won by the chasing team which makes us believe both sides would prefer to bowl first at the venue.

Weather Report

With 25% chances of disruptions we believe climate could impact the game which could result in a shorter game. Maximum temperature is expected to be 23C during the game and minimum temperature is expected to be 13C.

Otago vs Central Districts Betting Odds

Otago to have a better opening partnership than Central Districts

Central Districts and Otago head into this game in contrasting form as one one hand Central Districts have won three games on the bounce and are currently third on the table. On the other hand, Otago has lost three of the last four games which includes a drubbing against Central Districts in the reverse fixture. With Otago already knocked out of the competition, a win for Central Districts would make them favourites to hold on to the third spot on the table. 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 even though they were outplayed in the reverse fixture, Otago still managed to have a better opening partnership in the game. What makes this tip even more intriguing is the fact in the last two matches, Otago has had a better opening stand which makes us believe Otago would have a better start and would have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
