Wellington Firebirds vs Canterbury Kings | Bets that will Make Your Sunday Bright

The 23rd match of the Super Smash 2020-21 will see Wellington Firebirds vs Canterbury Kings at the Basin Reserve in Wellington on Monday morning, January 25.

Wellington Firebirds got back to winning ways after they got the better off Otago Volts on Sunday morning. Canterbury Kings, on the other hand, were on a brilliant three-match winning run but their progress was halted by Northern Knights. This is the second time that these two sides will go head on against each other and it is going to be one heck of an encounter, and one can be rest assured about that. Wellington Firebirds lost only one game in this season and that defeat came against Canterbury Kings. So, who will come out on top on Monday? Well, we will have to wait and watch until the game pans out! In the meantime, do take a closer look at three of the best player markets I have assorted for you to bet on from this game:

Matt Henry to take less than 1.5 wickets

The New Zealand speedster Matt Henry has been the best bowler for Canterbury Kings in the ongoing season of the Super Smash. He has played six matches for the Kings and has added 9 scalps to his name which is an average of 1.5 wickets per game. Henry has played a total of 81 T20 games in his career and has picked up 81 wickets and that is an average of 1 wicket per match. Henry has featured in 10 matches for Canterbury Kings against Wellington Firebirds, he has added 10 scalps to his name, which again is just one wicket per game. He has played 46 games overall in the Super Smash, and has added as many scalps to his name. Therefore, you can see, in all the scenarios, Henry has not managed to go beyond that 1.5 wickets mark. Bet365 is offering odds of 1.66 for Matt Henry to pick less than 1.5 wickets in the forthcoming game against Wellington Firebirds.

Wellington Firebirds to hit more sixes in the game

This bet is an absolute winner as Wellington Firebirds have been on top of their game in the ongoing edition of the Super Smash. The table toppers have smashed 42 sixes in 7 games so far in this competition and, on the other hand, Canterbury Kings have managed to hit only 20 of them in as many matches. Wellington Firebirds have hit more sixes than their opponents in five out of their seven matches. The last time when these two sides met, Wellington Firebirds smashed 5 sixes whereas Canterbury Kings could clear the ropes only once. In the last three head-to-head matches, Wellington Firebirds have smashed 10 sixes compared to only 4 from the Kings. Now the scenarios I mentioned here clearly states that the league leaders have been better when it comes to hitting sixes in this edition of the tournament. Bet365 is offering odds of 1.72 for Wellington Firebirds to hit more sixes in the game and that should be the order of the day!

Wellington Firebirds to win

Last but not the least, we are at the business end of this article and here we are discussing who is going to rule the roost! Wellington Firebirds have been a better side by quite some margin in the ongoing season of the Super Smash. They have played seven matches so far in this season and have managed to bag 6 victories. Canterbury Kings, on the other hand, have played the same number of matches and have won in five games. However, when it comes to head-to-head encounters, Canterbury Kings have their noses ahead by a really small margin with 14 wins against their name, leaving 12 for the Firebirds. In the last 8 head-to-head fixtures, both teams have won four games each. In the last four games at the Basin Reserve in Wellington, the home side have managed to emerge victorious on three occasions against Canterbury Kings. Wellington Firebirds are the likely winner and thus Bet 365 has offered odds of 1.72 for the same!
