Central Stags

Team News

Central Districts are playing very well with the current team and are not expected to make any major changes for this match, after Tom Bruce and Ben Wheeler were called for the NZ-Bangladesh series. The inclusion of Ross Taylor for the final match is doubtful since he has been called up for the NZ test squad for the Bangladesh series starting Jan 12.

Key Players

Central Districts have a good batting side and are capable of scoring big runs. Mahela Jayawardene, Tom Bruce, George Worker, and Will Young have been the top scorers for the team in this season, and are likely to continue their form and give their best performance in the final. The bowlers are also performing at par with the batsmen. George Worker, Blair Tickner, and Seth Rance have taken a lot of wickets in the previous matches, and will be expected to keep the Wellington batsmen at hold.

Recent Form

Central Districts have played 10 matches in this season, and won 7 of them. They were the first team to qualify with the highest score of 30 points. Both batting and bowling sides are playing well in sync, and are expected to give their best performance in this match.

Central Stags Predicted XI

George Worker, Mahela Jayawardene, Jesse Ryder, Will Young (c), Dane Cleaver (wk), Josh Clarkson, Marty Kain, Ryan McCone, Seth Rance, Luke Feldman, Ajaz Patel

Wellington Firebirds

Team News

Wellington have been playing well lately, against all odds, and will most likely be keeping the same squad for the final match, with no major changes.

Key Players

The batting side has been performing decently, and certainly has batsmen who have the potential to put up a big score on the board for the team. Tom Blundell, Michael Papps, and Hamish Marshall have been the most successful batsmen for Wellington Firebirds and the team will be depending upon them to bat well. The bowlers have been comparatively weaker than the batsmen, and will have to work hard for the final. Luke Woodcock, Hamish Bennett, and Brent Arnel are the top bowlers for the team, and will be expected to take important wickets against Central Districts.

Recent Form

Wellington have played 10 matches in this season and won 5 of them, scoring 20 points. Wellington did not play well at all in the beginning of the season, but turned their game around later in the season and made it to the final, and are expected to give a tough competition to Central Districts.

Wellington Firebirds Predicted XI

Michael Papps, Hamish Marshall (c), Anurag Verma, Tom Blundell (wk), Grant Elliott, Michael Pollard, Matt Taylor, Luke Woodcock, Jeetan Patel, Hamish Bennett, Brent Arnel
