CTB vs WEL Match 1 Predictions and Betting Tips

Wellington and Canterbury will play the 1st match of the Super Smash 2021 at Hagley Oval, Christchurch on November 26. I have gathered the top team and player betting tips for our CTB vs WEL match prediction.

Looks like the tournament is all set to begin with the most interesting fixture of all. The sides met thrice in the previous edition of the competition where Wellington bested Canterbury on two occasions. They last clashed in the finals of the same tournament where WEL registered a 5 wicket victory to win the trophy. I have handpicked the best team and player bets for the CTB vs WEL match predictions. Take a look at them.

CTB vs WEL Player Bet:

Let us have a look at the best batting prospect of Wellington for the best CTB vs WEL player odds.

Finn Allen to score big

Finn Allen, the 22 year old youngster made his debut for New zealand in March 2021 and is one of the most promising hitters, especially in short formats. He has played 6 T20Is where he could only score 156 runs with an average of 26.00. His record in domestic cricket says a different story altogether. He has amassed 1257 runs in his 40 T20 career innings with an incredible average of 33.97 that includes 11 half centuries. Allen came to be the most reliable opener for the team last season and punished the opponent bowlers to eventually win the trophy for the team. He finished as the highest run scorer of the Super Smash 2020 with 512 runs in 11 innings which accounts for the 28.4% of the total runs registered by the team. This averages around a fantastic 56.88 and includes a total of 6 fifties playing the tournament. He scored 53, 11, 91, 75, 92, 27, 4, 4, 66, 73 and 16 runs before he was dismissed last season. These facts certainly make up for a strong betting tip in favour of Finn Allen. PariMatch will provide you the best betting odds for Finn Allen to score big in the upcoming CTB vs WEL match predictions and you should pick them as soon as they are available on the site.

CTB vs WEL Team Bets:

I have picked both the bets with respect to Wellington as they batted consistently and make for a safe betting tip for the CTB vs WEL match predictions. Take a gander.

Wellington to score high at 1st dismissal

It isn’t an overstatement to establish WEL as one of the most fierce line-ups in the tournament. This was evident from their 11 match run in the competition which finally led them to win the title. The team consisted of Fin Allen and Devon Conway who brought in most of the runs for the team. They averaged at 56.88 and 65.00 scoring those runs. Coming on from their opening partnerships in the tournament, WEL created fantastic knocks before facing their first dismissal in the match. They scored 21, 20, 42, 117, 59, 5, 4, 21, 107, 105 and 32 runs in their opening partnership of the Super Smash 2020. Not only did they score above 20 runs in 8 games, but managed to carry out century partnerships on three occasions. With the absence of some experienced players from each side, currently playing a test series in India, it will be interesting to see how things turn out. However, with reliable batters in the WEL squad and their past performances, it is almost certain for the team to score high before surrendering their first wicket in the match. I will suggest you to pick this hot betting tip while keeping an eye out for the odds on our assailant site, PariMatch, for the best returns.

Wellington to hit more fours

Wellington lost a single game last season while winning the rest of the 10 games they played to lift the Super Smash 2020 trophy. It was a consequence of the presence of experienced hard hitters in the team. The squad scored as high as 230 runs (vs AUK), determining the batting depth and the capability of carrying out an expensive innings in this short format of 120 balls. Wellington smashed 177 fours in the last year’s edition of the tournament. This was the highest number registered in the league and averages around 16.09 fours a match. 56 of those boundaries came out of Allen’s bat who opened for the team in those 11 games. On the other hand, Canterbury has bagged a total of 142 fours last season, averaging around 12.90 fours a game. This is significantly lower than that of WEL’s. If this does not instill your confidence in the bet, let me throw in a few more facts. The sides met thrice last season where WEL won twice, when it mattered, while CTB won a game of those three clashes. The fact that WEL managed to hit more fours in each of those games, makes this betting tip a fairly strong one. On closing remarks, WEL, with a much explosive batting firepower will certainly prove to be worthy of this betting betting tip and you should pick the odds offered by PariMatch for the same as soon as they are uploaded.
