Looks like this WF vs AA game has all the makings of an intense showdown. I’m backing Wellington Firebirds 🏏, especially after their last win against Otago Volts. Tim Robinson’s been on fire with his runs, and Ben Sears’ bowling is a solid option too. The Basin Reserve pitch favors fast bowlers at first, but if it gets better for batting later, WF could really cash in. Aces have got some decent performers like Simon Keene, but I think Firebirds might just edge it today 🤞 #FantasyCricketWisdom
Looks like this game between WF & AA could be pretty close! With both teams having an equal H2H record, it’s all about how they perform on the day. The pitch at Basin Reserve favors fast bowlers early, so we might see some quick wickets before it gets easier to bat later. I’d say go with Tim Robinson as captain for his consistent scoring 🏏 and add Jock McKenzie in there too 🤘. Let’s hope the sunny weather holds up, could make for a great game! #WFvsAA 💪 #SuperSmash202425
