Canterbury Kings vs Wellington Firebirds | Time to Hit the Jackpot

The 17th match of the George Pie Super Smash will happen between Canterbury Kings and Wellington Firebirds at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Saturday morning, January 16.

Both Canterbury Kings and Welington Firebirds are in terrific form at the moment and these two teams will collide in an all-important encounter on Saturday early morning. Canterbury Kings have won two on the bounce and have taken the third place on the points table. Now they have a really good chance to displace Central Districts from the second spot on the ladder. Wellington Firebirds, on the other hand, have been on fire right from the onset and they have won five out of their five games so far in this ongoing edition of the Super Smash. Can the Kings hand the Firebirds their first loss of the season or will it be just another usual day at the office for the latter? We will have to wait and see how the story pans out on Saturday until then why don’t you take a look at three of the best markets that I have assorted for you to bet on from this fiery encounter!

Finn Allen to score a 50

A revelation or what - Finn Allen has been outrageously brilliant and I have a feeling that national side call up is not far away for this wonder kid! The 21-year-old soon-to-be-superstar Finn Allen has lit up the 2021 edition of the George Pie Super Smash with a lot of fireworks. In just five matches so far, Allen has notched up 322 at a jaw-dropping average of 107.31. He has ended up scoring four half centuries in five games that he has featured in for the Firebirds. His scores season look like this - 92*, 71, 75*, 11 and 53 - these numbers are also suggestive of consistency. In his shirt career, Allen has played 7 T20 games overall and has 347 runs against his name at an average of 69.40. He is yet to play against Canterbury Kings and the kind of form he is in, one can expect him to score at least 50 runs on Saturday. Sportsbet.io is offering the odds of 3.70 for the same and one should really consider the bet.

Daryl Mitchell to score over 23.5 runs

From one winnable bet to another - here we go again! Yes, we are going to take a closer look at Daryl Mitchell's number before placing money on him on Saturday when Canterbury Kings take the field against the Firebirds. Mitchell has played just three matches so far in this tournament and has racked up 153 runs at an average of 51.0. In his career, he has played 98 T20 games and has 1844 runs against his name at an average of 31.77. Mitchell has featured in 15 encounters against the Firebirds and has scored 323 runs at an average of 46.14. At the Hagley over in Christchurch, Mitchell has played 9 matches and has 210 runs at an average of 30.0. Sportsbet.io is offering odds of 1.85 for Daryl Mitchell to score at least 24 runs on Saturday morning and that should be the order of the day.

Matt henry to be the top team bowler for Canterbury Kings

I have talked about a lot of batters and now, I will be talking about a bowler who is likely to make a lot of impact with the ball. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am going to throw some lights on the numbers of Matt Henry! The New Zealand seamer has been the top wicket taker for Canterbury Kings in the ongoing season of the Super Smash. In four matches, the speedster has picked up seven wickets at an average of 16.57! He has played 83 matches in his T20 career, and has managed to add 81 scalps to his name (in 80 innings), which means he has this knack of picking up wickets every single time. The right-arm seamer has played 43 matches for Canterbury Kings and has coincidentally added 43 victims. In 15 matches at the Hagley Oval, Henry has 16 wickets to his name at an average of 15.09. Bet365 is offering odds of 3.60 for the same market and according to his current form, he is expected to come up clutch with the ball yet again on Saturday.
