CK vs WF Eliminator Predictions & Betting Tips

Wellington Firebirds will face Canterbury Kings in the Eliminator match at the University Oval, Dunedin on January 27. Here, I have collated the three best Super Smash 2021/22 betting tips for you from the CK vs WF match prediction.

Wellington Firebirds had a bad start to the tournament but are trying to climb up the standings with 5 wins and as many losses in the competition. Canterbury Kings, on the other hand, are having the season of their life with winning seven games on the trot and finishing comfortably at the second place of the points table. CK are coming off a strong victory against Otago by 8 wickets and will go in as a stronger side in the upcoming clash. Here are my three best betting tips from the CK vs WF match prediction.

CK vs WF Team Bets:

I have picked the perfect team betting tips for you from the CK vs WF head-to-head encounter.

Canterbury Kings To Win

Two contrasting teams will be up against each other in the forthcoming outing. The Firebirds and Kings had earlier crossed swords twice this season where both the sides split the wins. Talking about their campaigns in the competition, Canterbury finished second in the table standings with 7 strong victories while losing on three occasions. On the other hand, Wellington finishes third in the table with 5 wins and as many losses. CK finished 8 points ahead of WF and with a better net run rate as well. As far as the winners are concerned, CK will definitely have an upper hand with a stronger front. Canterbury beat Otago to reach the Eliminator round whereas Wellington lost to Northern Brave to enter this round. The last clash between the sides went in the favour of CK who grasped a 6 wicket victory. Canterbury has an excellent line-up of bowlers such as Shipley and Nutall who have picked 15 wickets each in the competition and are among the top three wicket takers in the competition. All facts considered, the bookmakers have CK as match favourites and with Pari Match offering the odds of 1.69 for the same, it is a safe betting tip from the CK vs WF match prediction.

Wellington Firebirds to score under 28.5 runs at 1st dismissal

Wellington Firebirds finished third in the points table with five wins while losing as many matches. They started their campaign cold, facing losses in the initial games but later returned to winning ways in their recent outings. They face a serious problem of fragile opening batters who gave their wicket away pretty early into the team’s innings. Finn Allen, in particular, was fantastic in the previous season, but has been facing scrutiny because of his failed innings in most of the games this season. Wellington scored- 89, 0, 4, 0, 40, 82, 4, 9, 12 and 16 runs before 1st dismissal in the nine games they have played so far in the tournament. As observed, they failed to start an innings well on seven occasions, Allen falling prey to the bowlers on four of those occasions. The bowlers managed to compensate and handled the situation well with the fierce bowling attack but it won’t be enough against CK in their upcoming head-to-head. The Kings picked the first wicket at 4 runs in the last brawl between the sides. With that being said, I would suggest you pick the odds of 1.87 as the best team bet on Pari Match to yield the best returns.

CK vs WF Player Bets:

This is the best player betting tip you’ll find in the market. Take a look at the perfect player bet tip for you from the CK vs WF head to head encounter.

Michael Bracewell to play an expensive innings

MG Bracewell has been the key contributor for the only win this season and is the grip required in Wellington for the ongoing tournament. He has amassed a total of 397 runs in 9 innings for Wellington with an average of 79.40 and a strike rate of 148.68. He scored- 27, 20, 58*, 1, 18*, 141*,15, 54* and 63 runs in those 9 innings he played so far. Wellington have won five games while losing as many fixtures in the tournament. The wins have come on account of splendid batting performances from the Wellington line-up, especially Bracewell. He compensates for his weak squad with his fiery batting potential. The 30 year old left hand batter has played a total of 88 T20 innings where he mustered 2090 runs at an average of 31.19. This includes eleven half centuries and a century in the short format including the one from his recent brave outing vs Auckland. Wellington relies solely on Bracewell to bring in the most runs for the team as he has been doing in the past couple of games which eventually made him the highest run scorer of the competition. Pari Match will offer you the best player odds in the market and you should pick this safe bet for handsome returns.
