The Semi-Finals of the New Zealand domestic One-Day competition "The Ford Trophy" begins today. Table toppers Central Districts play against the 2nd placed Auckland. As expected Central Districts are marginal favorites with the bookmakers.
Central Districts are all about their batting. They have two 400+, one 300+ and three 250+ scores in 8 matches. Their average run rate throughout the series is 6.5. They hit hard and they bat deep. Their bowling though is not very consistent.
Auckland are a balanced team in both their batting and bowling fronts. They have three 300+ and one 250+ scores.
International duties have depleted both the sides. The most affected team is Auckland. Ross Taylor and Milne are out of Central Districts squad. It's not a big problem as they have not played much for them. In case of Auckland they are missing Guptill and McClenaghan. Losing their most experienced opening batsman and bowler has reflected in some of their defeats. Kyle Mills replacing McClenaghan has helped them somewhat in the bowling lineup.
Both the teams have met once before where Auckland lost convincingly. The venue is New Plymouth. Here Central Districts have played two matches. Auckland are yet to play here. Looks like chasing is a bit tough here as Central Districts won their 1st match batting first and lost the 2nd while chasing 244. Don't forget the 1st match score of Districts is 405 here.
Except BetRally other bookmakers are not opening the odds. Even if they do so this match is not going In-Play. Check with your bookmaker site for the odds and In-Play status.
