Canterbury Kings and Central Stags meet at the Hagley Oval, Christchurch on Friday evening in the 2021-22 Super Smash. The Kings have played one and lost one so far in the tournament whereas Central Stags have two wins from two. Canterbury Kings are bottom of the table with Central Stags the early pacesetters. Read on as we preview this game. The match begins at 18:40 local time.
Canterbury Kings have got off to a poor start in this season’s Super Smash but they have plenty of talent in their squad and we expect to see them put in a strong performance in this game.
Central Stags are targeting their third straight victory in the competition. Their confidence will be high but they have been over reliant on individual batters so far.

Cole McConchie’s side have had to wait a fortnight for another game after losing their opening match of the Super Smash 2021 to Wellington Firebirds in late November. We expect to see the same XI in this fixture before some of the international players return for the subsequent games.
The Kings have won only one of their last three Super Smash matches and need to turn their form around as soon as possible.
Chad Bowes, Ken McClure, Jack Boyle, Cole McConchie (c), Cam Fletcher (wk), Henry Shipley, Matt Hay, Matt Henry, Will Williams, Blake Coburn, Ed Nuttall
Batsmen:J Boyle, G Hay, C Leopard, C Bowes, and T Bruce
All Rounder:J Clarkson, D Bracewell, and H Shipley
Wicket Keeper:D Cleaver (c)
Bowler:E Nuttall (vc), W Williams, S Rance, J Lennox, and B Wheeler
Tom Bruce’s side made one change ahead of their second successive victory of the competition with Ben Smith making way for Josh Clarkson in the XI. Clarkson hit 6 sixes in his innings and will have no problem in retaining his place in the side.
Two wins from two is the perfect start for Central Stags. They have come out of the traps in strong form this season.
Greg Hay, Bayley Wiggins, Dane Cleaver (wk), Josh Clarkson, Tom Bruce (c), Christian Leopard, Doug Bracewell, Ben Wheeler, Jayden Lennox, Blair Tickner, Seth Rance
The Kings won the last meeting between the sides to end a three match losing streak.

Canterbury Kings are favourites to get their first win of the tournament in this game.
Keeper-batter Dane Cleaver has already shown what he is capable of in this year’s tournament and all eyes will be on him again.
Our picks with the bat for Canterbury Kings are Chad Bowes, Jack Boyle and Ken McClure. Boyle top scored in an otherwise poor batting card in their opening game.
Dane Cleaver, Greg Hay and Bailey Wiggins are our recommendations with the bat for Central Stags. Wiggins has delivered two single figure scores so far but is a young player with plenty of promise.
We are backing Matt Henry, Ed Nuttall and Cole McConchie with the ball for Canterbury Kings. Nuttall impressed in the opening game and Henry is a top class performer.
We recommend Blair Tickner, Ben Wheeler and Seth Rance with the ball for Central Stags. Rance has taken wickets in each of his last five games.
This should be an excellent game between two teams who finished last season with identical records in the group stage. The Stags have got off to the better start so far in this campaign but we are backing Canterbury Kings to secure a win in this match.
