Wellington Firebirds vs Otago Volts | Bets that will Make Your Sunday Bright

The 22nd match of the Super Smash 2020-21 will see Wellington Firebirds vs Otago Volts at the Basin Reserve in Wellington on Sunday morning, January 23.

The Firebirds have been in red-hot form in the ongoing season of Super Smash as they have lost just one game out of their six. Otago Volts, on the other hand, have been having a season that they would want to forget as soon as this tournament gets over and start afresh. Out of their 6 games, the Volts have lost four and won just two and that has placed them towards the bottom half of the points table. Firebirds would be looking to extend their lead at the top of the ladder with a win against Otago Volts on Sunday. While the two sides gear up for this challenge, let me serve you with three of the best player markets for you to bet on from this match.

Finn Allen to be the top team batsman for Wellington Firebirds

What a revelation this fine young man from New Zealand has been! Finn Allen has been the find of the season and there’s not an iota of doubt as one can expect a lot more fireworks until the end of the season. Allen has been the best batsman for the Firebirds by a mile and that is exactly why he is also the second highest run getter for the season with 349 runs against his name at an astounding average of 87.25 including four half centuries. Believe it or not, he has scored those four half tons in just six matches he has featured for Wellington Firebirds! His scores in the last few matches - 92*, 75, 91*, 13, 11 and 53 - are suggestive of the fact that he has been extremely consistent. Overall he has played just 8 matches in his T20 career and has scored 374 runs at an incredible average of 62.33. With Bet 365 offering odds of 4.00 for Finn Allen to be the top team batsman for Wellington Firebirds and that should be the order of the day!

Hamish Bennett to take less than 1.5 wickets

I have spoken quite a bit about the batsmen during this ongoing edition of the Super Smash and now, I feel it is time to talk a bit about a bowler. However, this is not going to be in the positive light as Hamish Bennett is going to feel the heat in this section. For us to win this bet, we need Bennett to take less than two wickets and that should be quite easy. In six matches so far Bennett has picked up just 8 wickets and that is an average of just 1.33 scalps per game. In 68 T20 games in his career, Bennett has picked up only 60 wickets and that obviously is an average of less than 1 wicket per game. The last time he played against Otago Volts, he did not even get a wicket and that somewhat summarises his form. Bet365 is offering odds of 1.61 for Hamish Bennett to take less than two wickets and considering his run of form with the ball, he is unlikely to have a great day with the ball.

Finn Allen to score most sixes in the match

Yeah, well, the 21-year-old has been in fiery form with his hallowed piece of willow and of course he is going to make us a lot more than usual! Allen has obviously smashed the most number of sixes in the tournament already with 18 hits against his name in 6 matches, averaging three hits per game. He has clobbered two sixes more than George Worker and has played a game less than the former who is in second place with 16 hits. Jamie Gibson is next in line with 5 sixes for Wellington Firebirds and you can see the difference! For Otago Volts, Anaru Kitchen has smashed the most number of sixes so far with 8 hits to his name and those numbers were achieved in 6 matches. The difference between Allen and the others are startling when it comes to hitting the ball out of the park. Bet365 is offering lucrative odds of 6.00 for Finn Allen to hit the most number of sixes in the game and this bet should be a winner by a mile!

Bonus: If you want to place individual bets, well, it's fine but I have a better deal for you here! So, if you place a Rs 1000 bet on all of them at once, you have a chance to win a massive amount of Rs 38640! How about that for a deal!

My Picks:

Finn Allen to be the top team batsman for Wellington Firebirds - @ 4.00 (Bet365)

Hamish Bennett to take less than 1.5 wickets - @ 1.61 (Bet365)

Finn Allen to score most sixes in the match - @ 6.00 (Bet365)
