Canterbury Kings Team News & Playing 11
CTB Team News
Daryl Mitchell and Matt Henry will miss the game as they are part of the New Zealand squad for the T20I series vs Pakistan. Leo carter and Angus McKenzie should replace the two New Zealand veterans.
CTB Key Players
- Henry Nicholls - Henry Nicholls has scored one fifty in the tournament but he has been ordinary in other games. He is a very important member of the batting lineup and needs to contribute heavily if Canterbury have to win games.
- Cole McConchie - Cole McConchie has played well so far but the captain needs to be more consistent to get the team back to winning ways. McConchie has scored 126 runs in 4 innings he has played in the tournament so far.
- Ish Sodhi - The conditions won’t be great for spinners but Ish Sodhi with all his experience can be very handy for Canterbury Kings. The Kiwi veteran will be a key with the ball, especially in the absence of Matt Henry.
CTB Team Form
Canterbury has blown hot and cold. They have batted well in two games, which they won and they have been equally poor in the other two games, which they lost.

Freddy Walker, Zak Gibson and Matt Fisher have been included in the team as Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee and Neil Wagner have been released. Southee and Santner are part of the New Zealand squad for Pakistan T20I series.
ND Key Players
- Tim Seifert - Tim Seifert has played a couple of cameos in the Super smash 2023-24 but given that he is one of the team’s main batters, the team needs more from him. He scored 37 in the last game against Otago and now needs to build on the momentum and play a big knock to help the team get back to winning ways.
- Jeet Raval - Jeet Raval was dismissed for a duck in the last game but he is one of the team’s main batters and has also performed well in the tournament. Raval has scored 130 runs in 4 games, including two fifties.
- Scott Kuggeleijn - Kuggeleijn is a very experienced T20 bowler and has performed well in the tournament so far, taking 5 wickets in 4 matches. He can also chip in with a few runs down the order.
ND Team Form
Brave’s have been below par with the bat. They have failed to cross the 150 run mark in three out of the four games.
