Canterbury Kings Team News & Playing 11
Cam Fletcher and Chad Bowes have been the most reliable batsmen for the Kings this Super Smash season and it will primarily be up to these two to get the team into a strong position with the bat. However, the others will need to step up as well. Skipper Andrew Ellis has done a superb job with the ball. The fast bowler is leading the wickets charts with 12 wickets in 7 matches and the Kings will expect him to provide a few early breakthroughs.
