Dream11 Match Prediction – Who Will Win?
Central Districts defeated Wellington earlier this season, but since then, their batting has completely lost form. They are struggling to even reach 150 runs, which is a big concern.
Wellington Firebirds, on the other hand, have scored 185+ runs in every completed innings this season. Their top order is in good touch, and playing at home conditions gives them a clear advantage.
Match Winner Prediction:
Wellington Firebirds are favorites to win Match 12.
