After a careful analysis of the datas, I have picked two team bets from the market with handsome returns. Mentioned below are the CD vs Nk team betting tips.
The Central Districts have a better balanced team between the two. Even though they have failed to make an impression in the current tournament, they are backed up by a powerful batting lineup. Dane Cleaver, Brad Schmulian, Grey Hay and Tom Bruce are all very handy with the bat. Cleaver and Schmulian are the most powerful strikers of the ball in this lineup. All the batters have over 300 runs under their belt from four games played thus far. Dane Cleaver is the highest run scorer for the side and second highest run scorer of the tournament with 375 runs, followed by Brad Schmulin with 369 runs. In fact Schmulian, Hay and Tom Bruce are among the top eight batsmen in the tournament. As for the Knights they have a decent amount of depth in their batting. Henry Cooper and Jeet Raval are the top two run scorers for the side with 297 and 233 runs each from their four games. Undoubtedly, the Knights are no match to the Central Districts when it comes to striking runs between the wickets. Hence Central Districts will be our favourite in this bet. Keep an eye out and Pari Match offers odds for the team with top batter in the CD vs NK match prediction.
Jeet Raval and Henry Copper are consistently opening for the Knights in the current campaign. In the four matches played till date, Raval and Cooper have struck 33, 161, 13 and 18 runs respectively. This totals to 225 runs from four matches which averages at 56.25 runs per match from the opening partnership. There is a good chance that we get to see another excellent batting performance from the openers. Central Districts have been a little inconsistent with their opening batsmen. They have shuffled between Grey Hay, Ben Smith and Bayley Wiggins to open for them in the four matches played. In these four games, the batsmen have put in 0, 0, 28 and 25 runs, where in two games they have been dismissed for a duck. Hence their total runs from the four games played is 53 runs which averages at 13.25 runs per match.In the earlier edition of the tournament, Central Districts and Northern Knights played two matches, where Cooper and Raval opened for the side to stitch 9 and 127 in two first innings played. Clearly these numbers work in favour of the Knights and make them our top pick.
