The 13th match of The Super Smash will take place between the Canterbury Kings and Central Districts Stags at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Sunday, the 10th of January.
The two teams have faced each other in 23 complete matches, and are pretty equal with the Stags at 12 victories and the Kings at 11 wins. The Kings are coming out for their 3rd match this season, having won against Auckland Aces (in a 5 over match) and Otago Volts, while the Stags have already played 5 matches, where they lost against the Wellington Firebirds, lost one, and won against the Northern Districts Knights, the Aces and the Volts. George Worker has been in extraordinary form while playing for the Stags, and Ken McClure and Chad Bowes have been resilient in the two matches they have played for the Kings. I have assorted the top team bets from the match to make this match profitable for you.
The two teams have had pretty outstanding play this season, but while Canterbury Kings have only played 2 matches Central Districts have already played 5 matches in the season and it's pretty visible that they are in better form. The two teams that Canterbury played, were also defeated by the Central Stags and while Canterbury played just a 5.0 over match against the Aces, we can still compare their games against Otago Volts. Central Districts scored 225 runs against the Volts while the Kings scored 185 runs, and while the Central stags conceded more runs than the Kings, with Otago getting all out at 124 against the Kings and managing to score 170 runs from 20 overs against the Stags. The other important fact is the teams play at the Hagley Oval, the two teams have faced each other twice at the Hagley Oval, and the Stags won both times.The Cherry on the cake for the bet is that LeoVegas is offering odds of 2.00 for Central District Stags to Win.
This bet is a winner with great odds, and we can base that on the performances by the teams in this season. George Worker and Christian Leopard are opening for the Stags, and they have performed well in the two games they have come ut to play. The Stags scored a total of 136 runs (38, 8, 1, 41, 48) from their opening partnerships at an average of 27.2. Even from the two matches that Leopard came to bat instead of Wiggins, they managed to keep an average of 44.5. Canterbury Kings have Ken McClure and Chad Bowes as openers, who have played extremely well in both the matches and scored a total of 132 runs (77, 55) from the opening partnerships in the 2 matches at an average of 66.0. The opening partnerships depend on bowling almost as much as they depend on batting. Stags have conceded a total of 114 runs from 5 matches, at an average of 22.8 runs per match, while the Kings have just conceded 29 runs from their 2 matches, at an average of 14.5. RoyalPanda.com is offering odds of 1.89 for Canterbury Kings to have the highest opening partnership.
I have a bet here that will allow you to make more than double your money! This is a frontier where the teams have had domineering prowess. Central Districts Stags - 3, 12, 13, 0, 15 - have managed to hit a total of 43 sixes in their 5 games and the Canterbury Kings hit 6 sixes in their 1st game and managed to hit 5 sixes in just 5 overs in the second game. For anyone who is not great with quick calculations, that's an average of 8.6 for the Stags and an average around 13.0 for the Kings, if they had played a 20 over match. That's an average total of 21.6 sixes for a match between the teams. While the target of 14.5 might seem unusually high, Central Stags have actually scored the required number of sixes in one game by themselves and I have no doubt about the veracity of the bet. RoyalPanda.com has offered odds of 2.20 for the total match 6's to be over 14.5.
