CS vs WF Team Bets:

Let us take a look at the best team betting tips I have picked for you to pick from the CS vs WF head-to-head encounter.

Wellington to score over 27.5 runs at 1st dismissal

Wellington is a force to be reckoned with as evident from their run in the competition. They have managed to bag four victories in the competition and lost on two occasions. They have an impeccable line-up of batters, majority of who average well above 30 in the tournament. The team decided on Luke Georgeson and Ravindra to open for the team in the initial games. Later, Finn Allen replaced Ravindra to open for the team. All the three openers average almost at 40 in the competition which will weigh in for this betting tip. WF scored 36, 90, 0, 125, 9 and 44 runs in the six games they have played. This entails about 67% efficiency of the team to carry out an expensive opening partnership, above our threshold. This looks like a reliable statistics to bank on for the upcoming reverse fixture of CS vs WF head-to-head match. Pari Match offers the odds of 1.87 for the same and you should take it.

Central Stags to score more boundaries

Central Stags are in red hot form this season and remain unbeaten in their campaign of four games. Majority of the credit will go to the explosiveness of the batters in the squad who have been nothing less than relentless in the competition. The fact that the batters in the squad average over 40 in the tournament, makes it worth a shot. CS has smashed 107 boundaries in 4 games which computes to 26.75 fours per game. Taylor, Clarkeson and Wiggins are the major contributors of the fours in the competition. On the other hand, WF have scored 133 fours in 6 games. This averages at 22.16 fours per game, considerably lower than the former. In the last game between the sides, CS managed to secure 42 fours. In response, WF could only score 13 in that game. Having said that, Central Stags are most likely to bag more boundaries than Wellington in the upcoming CS vs WF encounter. You should visit Pari Match to grab the best betting odds for the same.
