Wellington Firebirds vs Northern Districts match prediction 26 Jan 2020

Wellington is set to host Northern Knights in match No. 16 of the ongoing Ford Trophy at the Basin Reserve, in Wellington this Sunday morning.

The Ford Trophy is back once again, with Wellington set to face-off Northern Districts this Sunday and believe it or not, this is going to be a cracker of a match. With lucrative bets on offer in the market, this is a time when punters like us should wake up from slumber and win as much money as possible. I have already handpicked the best odds from the market, just read along and act accordingly.

Henry Cooper - highest run scorer for Northern Districts

Why on earth have I picked Copper to be the top batsman for the Northern Districts whilst leaving players like Katene Clarke, Joe Carter and Anton Devcich? One word – consistency.

Even though he bats so deep in the order, there’s no denying that the right hander has been a vital cog in the batting line-up of the Northern Knights, having scored a staggering 227 runs in the five matches he has played so far at an average of 56.75 with a top score of 77. How is that going to fetch you money?

He is the highest run scorer for his team this season and his nearest competitors have been below par, with Katene Clarke scoring just 187 runs this season at a rate of 37.40 runs per innings while Joe Carter has scored three runs less than Clarke. To sum it up, he is the man in form and the only one who can multiply our investment seven times, so count on this bet.

Ollie Newton is the highest wicket taker this season

I guess there’s no point in arguing on why I have summoned this bet and with the odds as generous as 4.33, it is hard to overlook.

Ollie Newton’s figure in the last five matches - 2/48, 2/52, 3/53, 3/36, 3/32 – a fairy tale kind of form he’s in, having taken 13 wickets in the last five matches. Not only that, he was the pick of the bowlers in four of the above mentioned matches.

He is the top wicket taker this season with 13 wickets (as mentioned above) maintaining an average of 17. Malcolm Nofal, along with Jeetan Patel are joint second highest wicket takers for the team with 5 scalps each in as many matches. As you can make out, Newton has been a class apart from his compatriots and is quite rightly predicted to be the top bowler in this match too. I have already invested on this bet, you should follow the same, there’s a lot to be won.

Northern Districts have hit 22 sixes and Wellington only 12

There’s nothing much to differentiate these two teams in terms of the number of sixes hit but we get a clear winner by dissecting various aspects. Read along to know more.

In the last four completed matches out of five (1 match was curtailed), the Northern Knights have outnumbered their opponents in terms of sixes hit on three occasions, having hit a total of 17 sixes (4.25 per innings) and conceded 15 (3.75 per innings). On the flip side, Wellington have struck a total of 12 sixes in the last five matches (2.4 per innings) while shipping in 11 maximums in the same time frame.

Overall, this season, the Northern Districts have struck a total of 22 sixes (4.4 per match) compared to Wellington’s 12 (2.4 per match). To make the case more obvious, let me inform you that the Northern Districts have seven different six hitters this season compared to Wellington’s five. I guess you have already made up your mind to invest on this bet, so just go for it.
