Canterbury Kings Team News & Playing 11
Canterbury Kings rely largely on the likes of Chad Bowes, Cole McConchie and Cam Fletcher when it comes to batting. Skipper McConchie has scored the most runs for his side - 229 runs at a strike-rate of 140.49. He belted 83 runs off 52 balls the last time Canterbury faced Wellington and he will be expected to score big this time as well. Bowes and Fletcher have also been amongst the runs while Stephen Murdoch is coming off a 38-ball 64 against Otago Volts. Kyle Jamieson, Andrew Ellis and Ed Nuttall are the main weapons in Canterbury's bowling attack. Jamieson is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament with 19 wickets in 9 matches and he was the pick of the bowlers last time as well with figures of 4-23. The fast bowler has been in red-hot form right through this season and he is more likely to trouble the Wellington batsmen. Nuttall also looked good against Otago with impressive returns of 2-9 from three overs and the team will be hoping for a similar performance from him against Wellington.

Wellington Firebirds Team News & Playing 11
Except Devon Conway and Luke Woodcock, who scored a 49-ball 63, none of their batsmen could manage to reach the 20-run mark in the last game against the Central Stags. They will be hoping for an improved performance against the Canterbury Kings and they will want the likes of Michael Bracewell and Tom Blundell to step up and perform. Conway is leading the tournament's runs charts with 352 runs which includes a century while Bracewell had struck 69 off 34 balls in the reverse encounter last month. Ben Sears and Jeetan Patel took six wickets between them in that game and Wellington will depend heavily on them once again with the ball. Patel has been one of the team's most impressive bowlers this season with 11 wickets in 8 matches and the off-spinner is likely to finish with the best figures against Canterbury. Ollie Newton too has taken as many wickets at an acceptable economy of under 8 and his medium pace can be effective here.

🏆 Canterbury Kings vs Wellington Firebirds Prediction
Canterbury Kings and Wellington Firebirds have struggled to maintain consistency this Super Smash season. Both the teams are already out of contention for the preliminary final and so they will be looking to bow out on a high. Wellington have the upper hand in terms of their recent record against Canterbury with three wins in their last four head-to-head matches, including the last month's encounter at the Basin Reserve. Although the Kings have the benefit of playing at home, they will be aware of the fact that they have lost three out of the four matches they have played at this ground this season. Wellington Firebirds have a stronger bowling attack with Jeetan Patel and Ollie Newton performing well which is another reason why we are backing them to win this match.
