Otago vs Central Districts Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Max Chu had a decent season last year as he scored 290 runs with an average of 36.25. He has had a good start in both games thus far and we expect him to capitalise and do well in the upcoming game.

Brad Schmulian had a brilliant start to the campaign as he scored a half century in the opening game. Schmulian was sensational last season and even though he struggled in the last game, we believe he will score well in the upcoming game.
