The fixture is scheduled to be hosted at the Basin Reserve in Wellington on 21st November, Tuesday. The match will commence from 3:30 AM IST. Ahead of the matchday, I have assorted three of the best money making betting tips for you from the WEL vs CAN head-to-head encounter.

WEL vs CAN Team Bet:

Let us have a look at our top team betting tip from the WEL vs CAN head-to-head contest.

Canterbury to score under 27.5 runs before 1st dismissal

Canterbury had a disastrous campaign last time around, finishing at the bottom of the table with just a single win from ten games. Canterbury’s opening pair which revolved around Jack Boyle, Chad Bowes & Ken McClure last season struggled to put up a nice show with the bat. In the last five List A matches, Canterbury posted scores of 1, 33, 5, 11 & 20 runs before the first fall. This totals to 70 runs from five matches averaging just 14.00 runs for the first wicket. In the ongoing season of The Plunket Shield, the opening duo of Tom Latham & Chad Bowes posted scores of 12, 4, 10 & 20 and 11 runs for the first wicket. This sums up to 57 runs from five innings averaging at 11.40 runs for the first wicket per innings. This number falls rightly in favour of this betting tip, thus making it a strong and a reliable one for this game. Although Canterbury averaged close to 39.25 runs for the opening wicket in the last four head-to-head clashes vs Wellington, their recent run of form with the bat says otherwise. Tom Latham is averaging close to 90.25 in the ongoing season of The Plunket Shield while Chad Bowes is averaging close to 23.20. Therefore, it would be fair to place your bet on Canterbury to score under 27.5 runs before the first fall in this game. Our affiliate partner 1XBET has offered odds of 1.832 in Canterbury’s favour from the WEL vs CAN match prediction.

WEL vs CAN Player Bets:

Mentioned below are our top two player betting tips from the WEL vs CAN head-to-head contest. Take a look!

Tom Latham to score over 26.5 runs

The 30-year-old left-handed wicket-keeper batsman, Tom Latham hailing from Christchurch, Canterbury is my first pick from this forthcoming contest. Latham has been a regular member of New Zealand’s Test & ODI squad but was left out of the T20 World Cup squad. Therefore, we are certain that the southpaw will surely make an appearance for his domestic side Canterbury in the brand new season of The Ford Trophy. In the 2021/22 season of The Ford Trophy, Latham played just a single game. In the ongoing season of The Plunket Shield, Latham has scored 361 runs so far from four games at an average of about 90.25. He struck two hundreds in five innings in which he batted in. The southpaw holds an experience of about 192 List A matches and has hammered 5590 runs from them at an average of about 35.83. If we take a look at his numbers in ODIs, he has played 114 matches for the Kiwis and has amassed 3237 runs at an average of 34.80. So far this year in the 50 over format, Latham has played 12 ODIs and has scored 413 runs at an average of 41.30. Therefore, we have backed Tom Latham to score over 26 runs in this game. Our affiliate partner 1XBET has offered odds of 1.832 in Tom Latham’s favour to score over 26 runs from the WEL vs CAN head-to-head encounter.

Rachin Ravindra to score over 27.5 runs

This 23-year-old young Kiwi all-rounder, Rachin Ravindra hailing from Wellington is my next and ultimate player betting pick today from the WEL vs CAN head-to-head encounter. The southpaw made his international debut against India where his parents hail from. Although he has limited experience in the international circuit, the youngster holds an experience of about 17 List A matches wherein he has accumulated 469 runs to his tally of total runs at an average of 29.31. He has struck a hundred and 2 half-ones in this time. In the ongoing season of The Plunket Shield, the southpaw scored 272 runs from four matches at an average of 34.00. Rachin posted scores of 30 & 31, 12 & 14, 2 & 22 and 126 & 35 runs this season. He is the leading run-getter from his side at the moment after Tom Blundell. In the 2021/22 season of The Ford Trophy, Rachin Ravindra played just two matches and scored 80 runs from them. Last time out vs Canterbury, Rachin scored 34 runs while opening the innings for Wellington. Considering all this, we have backed Rachin Ravindra to score over 27 runs in this game. If you feel the same, scoot over to 1XBET and place your bet on him at odds of 1.832 from the WEL vs CAN Day 1 head-to-head encounter.
