CS vs CK Match 20 Predictions and Betting Tips

Central Stags and Canterbury Kings will lock horns in the 20th match of the Super Smash 2021 at Pukekura Park, New Plymouth. I have gathered three of the top betting tips for our CS vs CK match prediction.

Last season, Central Districts finished second in the table with six wins in the 10 games they had played. On the other hand, Canterbury Kings finished a spot below CS in the group stages but pulled off a victory in the prelims to surpass CS in the competition to finish as the runner ups for the title. Canterbury have started strong in the tournament with 3 wins and a loss in 2 games to sit second in the table, whereas CS will look to climb further up from the 3rd spot with a hope for victory. The sides will clash for the second time in this ongoing tournament and will make for an exciting watch for the fans. Therefore, considering all the facts regarding team and player performances, I have handpicked the best bets for you to choose from the CS vs CK match predictions.

CS vs CK Player Bets:

I have picked both the players to score high for the CS vs CK match predictions. Let us find out why.

Dane Cleaver to score high

Dane Cleaver has yet again proved to be an important batting asset for Central Stags in the ongoing Super Smash 2021. He has amassed a total of 1371 runs in 71 T20 games with an average of 22.85. This might bring on a few frowns with regard to our betting tip but might convince you to pick this upon reading further. He has batted in longer formats of cricket with an average as high as 42.72 (First-class) and 31.73 in List A. His figures in this 20 over format looks deceiving with the current form he is batting with. He smashed 4 & 48, 30 & 108*, 48 & 4, 39 & 54* batting in the Plunket Shield and makes the cut for an explosive batting form. He scored 114* in 54 balls with a strike rate of 211.11 in the first game of the Super Smash 2021 vs Otago, which led the team towards a comfortable victory in their first match of the tournament. He went on to be dismissed early in his next two outings but retaliated with two heavy knocks of 45 & 42 runs in his next two innings. In the last outing for Central Stags, Northern Braves picked the CS wickets swiftly in order to eventually register a victory in that encounter. Dane Cleaver was the only batter to stand tall with his exceptional knock of 65 runs in the match. With an average of 56.40 in the ongoing competition, Cleaver makes up for a really strong batting prospect for the upcoming CS vs CK head-to-head encounter. Pari Match will offer the best betting odds for Dane Cleaver to continue the same momentum in the next match, making it a great bet to cash in for.

Henry Nicholls to play a smashing innings

An experienced Black Cap, Henry Nicholls is a household name in his country and has time and again delivered whenever he has been called upon regardless of the jersey he is wearing. The top-order batsman has 1,143 runs in 50 T20s, at an excellent average of 30.07. He last represented the Kiwis in the shortest format of the game in the summer, where in outrageously difficult batting conditions in Bangladesh he delivered some exceptional knocks to come away with an average of 20-plus and become one of the only six batsmen in the entire tour to achieve that feat. The 30-year-old made his season debut in the Super Smash against the Northern brave and impressed right off the bat, aggregating the most runs in the match with 35 off just 21 deliveries. Nicholls went on to smash an unbeaten 49 in his last outing against Otago. Gradually growing in confidence, Nicholls is more likely to swing his bat at full force to bring in a bundle of runs in the upcoming CS vs CK head-to-head encounter.

This will be the second face off between the sides. The result of the first clash will weigh in for the best team bet from the CS vs CK match predictions. Take a gander.

Canterbury Kings to win

In the 2020/21 Super Smash season, Central Stags had a great campaign. They managed six wins in 10 fixtures, ending up second in the table with a terrible net run rate of 0.587. Canterbury Kings, on the other hand, went on a rampage run, accumulating as many victories and finishing third in the table with net run rate of 0.079. The outfit had gone on to win the preliminary final as well and only just fell short in the showdown clash against Wellington. In the three clashes between the sides, the Kings gave away the victories to Central Stags in the group stages while snatching a victory when it was needed the most (Preliminary finals). The teams seem to have started the new season in the same vein of form as well. The Stags have already lost three out of their six games including a defeat by the hands of Canterbury Kings themselves by the margin of 47 runs. CS are placed third in the table standings whereas CK occupy the second spot. The Canterbury Kings have won three and lost two matches in the competition so far. In their latest clash, they scored 173 runs in 20 overs only to bundle Otago all out at 137 to grab a 36 runs win. Whereas, Central Stags had to taste defeat by the hands of Northern Brave in their previous outing by 6 wickets. Thus, with a better batting and bowling line-up, Canterbury Kings have a significant edge over Central Stags and should cruise to victory in the coming fixture. To take on this CS vs CK team bet tip, visit Pari Match and take up their amazing odds of 2.02 for CK to win this affair from the CS vs CK match predictions
