Northern Knights Team News & Playing 11
Much of their batting will depend on the likes of Tim Seifert, Daryl Mitchell and skipper Dean Brownlie. Seifert is currently topping the season's runs charts and the Knights will want him to score the big runs against Central Districts. Anton Devcich, Daryl Mitchell and Ish Sodhi are the key figures in this bowling line-up. Devcich was brilliant against Otago Volts with figures of 4 for 12 and the left-arm spinner is expected to put in another strong performance here.

Dane Cleaver and Will Young put up a 52-run partnership in the last game against Canterbury Kings and the team will need a good batting performance from them here as well.Tom Bruce will be important at no. 4 with his big-hitting ability. Seam bowler Blair Tickner has so far been the most impressive in this bowling attack and the Knights will be wary of him. He has taken six wickets in three matches, two of which were picked up in the last match.

Northern Knights vs Central Districts Betting Odds
Central Districts are the favorites amongst the bookmakers to win this match at odds of 1.75 on Betfair and 1.72 on Bet365. Now this comes as a bit of a surprise as they haven't made the best of starts to the season having lost two of their first three fixtures. Northern Knights on the other hand have won three consecutive games after losing their first game to Wellington Firebirds. They may be underdogs for this game but offer good value at 2.16 on 1xbet and 2.10 on Bet365.
Northern Knights vs Central Districts Prediction
Central Districts are the ones who will feel more pressure here as they are lagging behind on the points table with two defeats in three games. Northern Knights on the contrary will go into this game riding high on confidence with wins in their last three matches. They also have the psychological edge of having beaten Central Districts three times in their previous four completed attempts. The Knights therefore have the momentum with them and so we feel they stand a better chance of emerging victorious.
Final Verdict: Back Northern Knights to beat Central Districts at 2.16 on 1xbet and 2.10 on Bet365.
