Cricket ball and stumps

Devon Conway top scorer for Wellington Firebirds last 4 games

Devon Conway to be Wellington’s top batsman @ 3.75

If there’s anyone knocking at the South African T20 squad in the build-up to the World Cup later this year, it’s got to be Devon Conway. The southpaw is enjoying an impeccable form in the ongoing Super Smash, having already amassed 264 runs in the five matches he has played this season at an average of 66 (the highest by any player this season). He is also the second highest overall run scorer in the league till now, his scores – 32, 78, 89, 63, 2. Conway was the top scorer in three of the above mentioned matches.

The Basin Reserve has been a happy hunting ground for the Protean, having scored 63 runs in the last match played at the venue. Going along the same line, Conway has made merry while facing the Northern Districts bowling attack, having been the top scorer in the four H2H matches he played. With an average of 37.34 in T20s, there’s actually no one who can pull off the job like him. In would be foolish not to invest on this bet.

Ollie Newton is the joint highest wicket takes in the league

Ollie Newton to be Wellington’s top bowler @ 3.75

The current season of the Super Smash has given many surprises, but looking at what Newton has produced, it’s beyond all. The Otago-born cricketer is the joint highest wicket taker in the Super Smash so far with a game less played, having taken 12 wickets in 6 matches (2 per match). His figures in the last five matches – 2/32, 2/39, 5/45, 1/18, 1/37. The pacer has been the pick of the bowlers thrice in these matches which speaks largely of the form he enjoying at the moment. The haul of 5/45 was his best ever figures in limited overs cricket.

Rattling Northern Districts’ batting line-up has been a trend for him, having taken 6 wickets in the last three H2H matches with figures of 2/32, 3/26, 1/44. In fact, he was the best bowler for his side in the last two H2H encounters. Even in the last clash with Northern Districts at the Basin Reserve, he took 3 wickets for 26 runs and was the top bowler. There’s hardly any evidence to believe that he is not going to outshine his teammates on Friday.

Wellington Firebirds better opening in last 5 H2H games.

Wellington Firebirds to have the highest opening partnership @ 2.0

Wellington Firebirds’ openers might not have put up huge partnerships in the past, but they are miles ahead of Northern Districts. In the past five H2H matches, Wellington have scored 24.4 runs on an average for the first wicket stand in comparison to Northern Districts’ 8.6. Not only that, the former have always had the better opening stand in the matches. Leave aside outscoring, the Northern Districts have only reached the two-digit mark only once in the same time frame. There are more reasons why you should not miss out on this bet.

If we look at the current form, the Firebirds have piled up 200 runs averaging 40 runs per game, while they have conceded just 125 runs (25 per opening stand). On the flip side, the Northern Districts have amassed 169 runs (33.8 runs on average) for the first wicket in the past five matches as have shipped in 191 runs (38.2 runs on average) for the same. In the last two H2H clashes in Wellington, the visitors lot their first wickets for just 8 and 2 runs on the board respectively. In the last five matches at the venue, Wellington have scored at a rate of 36.4, while conceding just 19 an average in similar parameters.
