While the track record of Canterbury against Wellington Firebirds might say otherwise with 3 loses out of 5 matches, the team, with at least one tournament win and two-runner up titles, isn’t going to give away the match easily. The chosen squad has been crucially selected to match the opponent team with its fine batsmen and bowlers. Despite exit of Kylie Jamieson, Canterbury isn’t panicking much.
The bowlers expected to lead in chasing the opponents are Matt Henry, Ed Nutall, Will Williams, Andrew Ellis and Todd Astle. Considering Kylie Jamieson's absence it would be crucial for the bowlers to work together to provide the balance. Batting options include hitters like Chad Bowes, Cole McConchie, Stephan Murdoch and Tom Latham; lineup of these hitters is going to play key role.
Andrew Ellis (c), Cam Fletcher (wk), Cole McConchie, Ed Nuttall, Chad Bowes, Will Williams, Blake Coburn, Jeremy Benton, Tim Johnston, Leo Carter and Nick Kwant.
Keeping their last 5 matches in mind, Wellington is not only leading the face-off panel against Canterbury with three wins and two loses; the team also holds upper hand in terms of tournament title winning twice in comparison to Canterbury Kings. Despite the statistic advantage over Canterbury, Wellington Firebirds cannot take the upcoming third match of the Super Smash Tournament lightly considering their last season ended up with them losing almost all the matches and landing at the last spot on the charts.
The key batsmen that are expected to shine in their first match for the tournament against Canterbury are Devon Conway, Andrew Fletcher, Michael Bracewell and Tom Blundell. Michael Bracewell with his all rounder momentum is going to be an asset to team with both his batting and bowling form being at good state. To add to all rounder support, Jeetan Patel is going to be challenging opponent for Canterbury Kings. The all-rounders lined up could change the game for them.
