CS vs CTB Team Bet:

Let us have a look at our top team betting tip from the CS vs CTB match prediction.

Central Districts to hit over 13.5 fours

Central Districts’ campaign started off with a narrow two run defeat at the hands of Wellington. The match happened to be a high scoring affair and CS managed to hit almost 22 fours. This number certainly ranks above our target, thus making it a safe and a reliable betting tip for this game. In the last five matches, CS smashed 22, 18, 13, 16 & 18 fours. This sums up to 87 fours from five matches averaging at 17.40 fours per game. In every single match, barring one, over the five game period, CS struck over 13 fours, thus entailing a 80% efficiency to do the same in the forthcoming match as well. Against Canterbury in the last five head-to-head meetings, Central Districts smashed 18, 9, 6, 14 & 14 fours. In three out of these five matches, CS managed to hit over 13 fours. Dean Cleaver was the one to hit the most number of fours for CS last season(40) with Greg Hay, Tom Bruce & Ben Smith in line who smashed 25, 22 & 22 fours respectively. Therefore, it would be fair to place your bet on CS to hit over 13 fours in this game. 1XBET has offered odds of 1.668 in CS’s favour from the CS vs CTB head-to-head contest.

CS vs CTB Player Bets:

We have chosen Chad Bowes & Tom Bruce as our top two player betting tips from the CS vs CTB head-to-head contest. Take a look!

Chad Bowes to score over 22.5 runs

Canterbury opener Chad Bowes is my ultimate pick from this forthcoming contest. Bowes holds an experience of about 76 T20s wherein he has scored 2076 runs at an average of about 29.65. Bowes has continued from where he left last season. So far this season only two games have been played and Bowes accumulated a total of 108 runs from two games. His scores this season read 51 & 57*. In the 2021/22 season of Super Smash, Bowes emerged as the leading run-scorer from his side. He scored 333 runs from just 12 innings and averaged close to 27.75, which certainly ranks above our target. Bowes has been in exquisite form this season and his numbers in the domestic circuit are the biggest proof of it. In the ongoing season of The Ford Trophy, the 30-year-old hammered 195 runs from just five games at an average of 48.75. Last time out vs CS, Bowes played a 28 run cameo off just 13 balls and helped his side pick up a victory. Considering all this, we have sided with Chad Bowes to score over 22 runs in this game. To capitalise on this, log on to 1XBET and place your bet on him at odds of 1.8 from the CS vs CTB match prediction.

Tom Bruce to score over 17.5 runs

A swashbuckling right-handed top-order batsman who seems suited for the shorter formats, Tom Bruce grabbed headlines in the 2015/16 season of Super Smash where he took bowlers apart at will. Buoyed by those performances, he gradually became a vital cog of the Central Districts team across all formats of the game. The 31-year-old had the best season of his career last year wherein he topped the run-scoring charts overall in the Plunket Shield. In just 8 matches, Tom hammered 858 runs at an average of 143.00 which includes two double hundred, two hundreds and four half-ones. Skipper Bruce scored 56 runs in CS’s opening game of the season this year. In the 2021/22 season of Super Smash, Bruce scored 267 runs from 10 matches and averaged close to 38.14. He holds an experience of about 97 T20s wherein he has accumulated 2202 runs to his tally of total runs at an phenomenal average of 27.52. Bruce has played 10 times against Canterbury in this competition and has scored 327 runs from them at an phenomenal average of about 40.90. Last time when the two sides met, Bruce scored a 93 run knock off just 36 balls which comprises 8 fours and as many sixes. We expect him to deliver a similar performance with the bat when the two sides meet again tomorrow. To capitalise on this, scoot over to 1XBET and grab the odds of 1.832 for Tom Bruce to score over 17 runs from the CS vs CTB match prediction.
