Central Districts are favourites to win
The 4th match of the Super Smash will be played between the Central Districts and the Northern Districts . The match will be played at the Yarrow Stadium in New Plymouth and the live action will begin at 19:10 local time. This is the second match in this season for both teams, and both are coming after winning a match and will be playing hard to start a winning streak.
Read ahead for our prediction for the Central Districts vs Northern Districts match of the Super Smash 2016.
The team that wins the toss is recommended to bowl first as this is not a high scoring ground and the team that wraps up its opponent early on is expected to win the match.
None of the players were injured in the previous match and the team is expected to return with the same squad.
The Central Districts batting side showed their skills and put up a good score of 198 in their last match. George Worker, Tom Bruce, Will Young and Doug Bracewell are the batsmen who shined and the team will be hoping for them to push themselves and score more runs in this match as well. The bowling side of the team, on the other hand, did not get the chance to display their full potential as the second innings was called off in the middle due to rain. Ben Wheeler and Doug Bracewell are the only bowlers who took some wickets and the it will be interesting to see the performance of the bowlers in this match.
The Central Districts are on the second position because they won their first because of the D/L method, due to their brilliant batting. The team has good batsmen and will be looking to explore their strong suit in order to build their future performances in the series.
George Worker, Ben Smith, Will Young (c), Tom Bruce, Doug Bracewell, Dane Cleaver (wk), Josh Clarkson, Ben Wheeler, Ryan McCone, Seth Rance, Marty Kain.
The team will most likely come back without any changes in the squad and no injuries to any of the players have been reported.
The Northern Districts gave a decent performance in their first match and put up a fair score of 142. Corey Anderson, Joe Carter and Nathan Reardon performed well and contributed to the scoreboard. Most of the other players that batted scored almost nothing in comparison which is something the team will hopefully work hard on in this match. The bowlers performed well though, with Ben Laughlin and Daryl Mitchell taking 3 and 4 wickets respectively. The team would want them to give a similar performance in this match as well. Jono Boult and Zak Gibson also took a wicket each and are expected to take more in this match.
The Northern Districts have performed well and will hopefully continue their form for all their matches ahead. Both batting and bowling departments need some finishing but they certainly have the potential to be one of the top teams.
Dean Brownlie (c), Joe Carter, Nathan Reardon, Corey Anderson, Daryl MItchell, Tim Seifert (wk), Jono Boult, Nick Kelly, IS Sodhi, Ben Laughlin, Zak Gibson.
This is the first encounter of the two teams in this season and making an obvious choice for the winner is not easy. Although, both teams played against each other twice in the previous season and won one match each. It will be quite interesting to see which team takes the lead early on in the current season.
It is very early to be taking a side in the season as all the teams have played only one match each, but going by the performance in the beginning, the Central Districts have a better chance of winning against the Northern Districts because of a good batting side that can score a big innings.
The Central Districts have a better batting side that will help them overpower the Northern Districts and we predict them to win the match.
