TEAMS PREVIEW
Northern Districts Preview
Northern Districts started the campaign with a defeat by a huge margin but the team has since been able to pick up crucial points. The win over Central Districts could not have been improved upon, as the weather conditions led to the game against Canterbury being called off. There were plenty of positives for Northern Districts in the win over Central Districts including centuries for Tim Seifert. Meanwhile, Henry Cooper was also able to come up with a strong performance after managing 92 runs from just 61 balls, as he shored up the midfield.
Scott Kuggeleijn remains the top wicket-taker for the team so far this season with five wickets from his two innings. Even the likes of Scott Johnston and Brett Hampton are not behind, it has been a mediocre bowling performance from Northern Districts so far this season. The big performance against Central Districts has helped Henry Cooper become their top run scorer with 109 runs from his two innings. Most of the runs picked up by Northern Districts came in the win over central districts.
Northern Districts Predicted Playing XI:
Neil Wagner, Jeet Raval, Scott Kuggeleijn, Brett Hampton, Robert O'Donnell, Henry Cooper, Frederick Walker, Katene Clarke (c), Kristian Clarke, Ben Pomare, Fergus Lellman, Scott Johnston
Northern Districts Actual Playing XI:
Tim Seifert, Robert O'Donnell, Jeet Raval, Katene Clarke, Henry Cooper, Fergus Lellman, Brett Hampton, Scott Kuggeleijn, Neil Wagner, Kristian Clarke, Frederick Walker
Wellington Firebirds Preview
Wellington’s Tim Robinson is the top for the team with 72 runs from his two innings. If not for the abandonment in the last match, Robinson could have built further. The lack of any major batting contributions has been a problem for Wellington, whose highest score of the campaign remains less than 150. The potential for witnessing another low-scoring encounter represents a big danger for Wellington, who are in danger of being cut off from the top teams.
Wellington are five points behind Canterbury at the top of the table. A victory in the game could even put them above Auckland, which will be a significant result in the right direction.
Meanwhile, Wellington counting heavily on the likes of Logan van Beek and Adam Milne to continue their recent run of form with the ball. Both players have been able to pick up three wickets from the handful of games. It is far from leading wicket-takers so far in the season. Wellington will try to get a lot of confidence from the recent win over Northern Districts on the head-to-head front.
Wellington Firebirds Predicted Playing XI:
Nick Greenwood, Tim Robinson, Muhammad Abbas, Nick Kelly (c), Michael Bracewell, Logan van Beek, Callum McLachlan, Nathan Smith, Peter Younghusband, Liam Dudding, Adam Milne
