NB vs WF Team Bets:

Let us have a glance at the best NB vs WF team betting tip.

Wellington to score under 24.5 runs at 1st dismissal

Wellington have played four matches in the competition wherein they were able to muster a single win while losing on three occasions. One of the reasons for their terrible fate in the competition will go to its fragile batting order who failed to capitalise on various occasions. Their openers Rachin Ravindra and Luke Georgeson have not been impressive in these four games with regard to holding onto the opening partnership in the games. While Ravindra averages over 40, Georgeson struck out multiple times on low scores with and is batting at an average of 15.50 in the league. Wellington scored 0, 46, 9 and 3 runs in the first innings of the 4 games they have played. Three out of the four times, it was Luke Georgeson who gave away an early wicket into the game. The situation does not seem to get any better in the upcoming games. Visit Pari Match and pick Wellington to score low at 1st dismissal for a glorious payday.

NB vs WF Player Bets:

I have picked both the following players to score low in the upcoming NB vs WF head-to-head match. Have a look at why.

Colin de Grandhomme to score low in 1st innings

A bruising, broad-shouldered batsman, and a disciplined medium-pace bowler, Colin de Grandhomme left Zimbabwe for Auckland in 2006, before eventually finding his way into New Zealand's representative teams. Currently, the 35 yo batter bats in the middle order of the Northern Brave’s line-up. He has played a total of 28 Test matches where he averages at 38.61. His First-class average agrees with his performance in this format where he reaped 6261 runs from 121 FC games at an average of 37.26. However, the senior batter in the team is facing scrutiny because of lacking in the batting department in the competition. He has played 3 matches (5 innings) in the tournament and was able to manage only 71 runs from those innings. His batting average stands at 14.20 which is quite low. He started his campaign with scoring 15 & 5 against Canterbury. Just when we thought he would resurrect his batting abilities, he was disappointed with his scores of 21, 13 and 17 runs in the last three innings. With that mentioned, the batter is reliable to underscore and present a failed innings in the next game as well. Pari Match will offer you the best player odds for the NB vs WF head-to-head match regarding the same betting odds and you should take it.

Luke Georgeson to strike out early

Luke Georgeson was given a major responsibility of opening for Wellington in multiple tournaments and formats. He averages pretty well in the 50 over format but with 317 runs in 8 First-class matches, he averages at 21.13. His figure appears to be pretty transparent and supports our cause. He has played 4 games in the competition and scored a total of 124 runs, averaging at 15.50. His scores in the league reads as- 0, 74, 15, 1, 4, 1, 1 and 28 runs in the eight innings he played for Wellington. With the exception of his 74 run innings, he failed to establish an impactful batting vigour in the rest of the games. Moreover, he struck out on single digit scores on five occasions amounting to a figure of 62.5%. This is highly disappointing with regard to the batter but works well in the favour of our betting tip. With that established, it is safe to say that Luke Georgeson is more likely to be dismissed early in the NB vs WF head-to-head match.
