CS vs ND Day 1 Player Bet:

Let us have a look at the top player betting pick from the CS vs ND Day 1 match prediction.

Tom Bruce to score over 29.5 runs in 1st innings

A swashbuckling right-handed top-order batsman who seems suited for the shorter formats, Tom Bruce grabbed headlines in the 2015/16 season of Super Smash where he took bowlers apart at will. Buoyed by those performances, he gradually became a vital cog of the Central Districts team across all formats of the game. The 31-year-old had the best season of his career last year wherein he topped the run-scoring charts overall in the Plunket Shield. In just 8 matches, Tom hammered 858 runs at an average of 143.00 which includes two double hundred, two hundreds and four half-ones. The top-order batsman will be hoping to continue from where he left last season and score tons of runs this season as well. He holds an experience of about 63 First-Class matches wherein he has accumulated 4236 runs to his tally of total runs at an phenomenal average of 47.59. In the previous game vs Auckland, Tom Bruce scored a 169 run knock off 252 balls which was laced with 15 fours and 4 sixes. With this innings, he is now Central District’s leading run-scorer this season with 245 runs from three innings at an average of about 81.66. His last five scores in First-Class cricket read 169, 2 & 74, 13 & 19, 204* and 208* runs. Last time when the two sides met, Bruce scored an unbeaten 208* run knock in the 1st innings. We expect him to deliver a similar performance with the bat when the two sides meet again on November 5th. To capitalise on this, scoot over to 1XBET and grab the best of odds for Tom Bruce to score massively from the CS vs ND Day 1 match prediction.
