Wellington are clear favourites to win on betting platforms as the team has picked comprehensive wins in previous two games.
Backing Northern Brave for the win can be a smart move as the team is likely to see the return of players like Tim Southee, Tim Seifert and Mitchell Santer which will add a lot of quality to the team.
Brave will expect good batting performances from Tim Seifert and Jeet Raval, who scored 43 and 52 respectively in the first game. Also, Katene Clarke is a good player to bet on given his abilities with the bat.
Wellington's top batters will be Tim Robinson and Nick Kelly. Robinson scored a breathtaking century in the first game while Kelly scored 48 in the same game. Nathan Smith can also chip in with a few vital runs down the order.
Brave's bowling will rest on Tim Southee and Mitchell Santer, the two veterans of New Zealand cricket. Scott Kuggeleijn has also been impressive, taking four wickets in two matches.
Wellington's bowling will depend on Nathan Smith and Logan van Beek, both of whome have been magnificent. Smith and Van Beek toom 4 and 3 wickets respectively against Otago in last outings. Peter Younghusband has also taken four wickets in two games.
It should be a close game but we feel that the return of players like Tim Southee, Mitchell Santer and Tim Seifert will bolster the Northern Brave's team. Wellington are in good form but they will be tested to the core by experienced Brave. We are backing Northern Brave's to win.
