NCC vs WCC Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's Darwin ODD Match - Apr 24, 2021

Nightcliff Cricket Club will be squaring off against Waratah Cricket Club in the first game of Round 3 of the Darwin and District Cricket Senior Competition at Nightcliff Oval on Saturday.

Nightcliff Cricket Club will be keen to bounce back after an agonizing four-run loss in Round 2 against PINT Cricket Club. They currently find themselves languishing at the penultimate position in the Darwin ODD points table, losing the only game they have played. The Nightcliff Cricket Club's bowling unit needs to pull up their socks if they want to advance in the tournament. They will need to be at their best to defeat defending champions Waratah Cricket Club.

The Waratah Cricket Club, on the other hand, were phenomenal in their opening game of the tournament as they registered a massive 114-run victory over Palmerston. The defending champions are currently placed in third position in the Darwin ODD points table with one win from one. The Waratah Cricket Club will be hoping to pick up a win on Saturday to register their second consecutive victory in the tournament.

The Nightcliff Cricket Club and the Waratah Cricket Club met each other twice last season, with both teams emerging victorious once.

There's nothing much to separate the two sides at the moment, but the home conditions might play into the Nightcliff Cricket Club's favor.
