Canterbury’s last game against Central Districts was washed out due to rain. Then team had reduced Stags to 21-4 before rain stopped play. The team will feel robbed off a win in the previous game. Players like Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell and Ish Sodhi returned to the team in last game. Kings should play the same combination.
Canterbury has rallied on performances from Henry Nicholls, Cole McConchie, Michael Rippon with the bat but the team will now need other players like Chad Bowes to get some runs as well. The bowlers have done well though.

The bookies are backing Auckland to win. Both teams have done well so far but Auckland’s bowling looks a bit more superior to Canterbury, with the likes of Lockie Ferguson, Ben Lister, Danru Ferns in great form.
We suggest backing Auckland to win. The team has a strong bowling attack which gives them a slight edge over Canterbury. Also, runs from Martin Guptill and Finn Allen was a huge plus for the team in previous game.
Henry Nicholas, Cole McConchie and Daryl Mitchell are batters who can come good. McConchie and Henry Nicholls have been consistent for Canterbury and are the two leading run scores for the team so far. Also, Mitchell is a match winner on his day.
Martin Guptill and Finn Allen will be key batters. Guptill scored 85 while Allen made 50 in Auckland’s last game against Wellington. Also, Robert ODonnell has delivered some consistent performances in the tournament.
Matt Henry and Ish Sodhi are two match winners with the ball and will be looking to deliver a good show for Canterbury Kings. Also, Daryl Mitchell can be handy with the ball.
Auckland’s bowling will rest on Ben Lister and Danru Ferns, both of whom have been very consistent, taking seven and eight wickets respectively. Also, Lockie Ferguson will be eyeing good performances for the team.
Auckland can be backed to win. When we look at the overall composition of the teams, Auckland look much more balanced with a great mix of aggressive batters and players who can stabilise the innings when the team is in trouble. Also, they have a better bowling attack as well so we are backing Auckland to win.
