Northern Knights vs Wellington Chance of Winning

Northern Knights had an underwhelming campaign last season as they ended up with just one win in the group stages and ended up sixth on the table. They lost the opening game against Auckland but in the last match against Central Districts, they bounced back and won the game by 113 runs.

Much like their opponents, Wellington struggled for consistency last season as they ended up fifth on the table and missed the playoffs. So far this season they have one win in two games and are currently fifth on the table. As per our calculations, Wellington are favourites in the upcoming game.

• Northern Knights’ chances of winning - 45%
• Wellington’ chances of winning - 55%

Wellington to have a better opening partnership than Northern Knights

Northern Knights and Wellington headed into this campaign after both sides struggled to make an impact last season as they missed the playoffs. Both sides have made similar strides so far in this campaign as they have one win and one loss in two games. Historically Wellington have had an upper hand in this fixture which was the case last season as they completed the double. Last season was a struggle for Northern Knights as they only won one game out of 10 matches and ended up sixth on the table. What makes this tip so enticing is the fact Wellington had a better opening stand in both games last season against Northern Knights which makes us believe they will once again end up with a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
