Read for our prediction for the Canterbury vs Wellington match of the Super Smash 2016.
Toss
The ground is most likely to support fast bowlers rather than the batsmen, so the team that wins the toss is recommended to bowl first in order to wrap up the opponent team with the lowest score possible, and make the chase easier.
Canterbury Kings Team News & Playing 11
Team News
No injuries to any of the players has been reported and no big changes are expected in the Canterbury squad for this match against Wellington.
Key Players
Canterbury did not have a good start and has performed underwhelmingly in both batting and bowling departments. The batting side has failed to put up big scores but displayed some decent performances in the two matches the team has played. Cam Fletcher, Henry Nicholls, and Tom Latham are expected to pitch in for a respectable score. The batsmen really need to work hard on their performance to gain the right momentum in the beginning of the season. The bowlers have not shown any extraordinary performance as well. Andrew Ellis and Jeremy Benton can hopefully pick up some important wickets, but the bowling side needs to work tightly to give a competition to Wellington.
Recent Form
Canterbury has played two games in this season so far and lost both. The batting and bowling sides need to work together to eliminate any chances of further losses in order to gain a good position on the points table.
Canterbury Predicted XI
-
Tom Latham, Chad Bowes, Cam Fletcher (wk), Peter Fulton, Henry Nicholls, Tim Johnston, Andrew Ellis (c), Todd Astle, Ed Nuttall, Jeremy Benton, Ben Hilfenhaus.
Wellington Firebirds Team News & Playing 11
Team News
No major changes are expected in the team for this match and none of the players have been injured.
Key Players
Tom Blundell could be the key batsmen for Wellington, just like in their last match. He will hopefully score some good runs against Canterbury, along with Hamish Marshall and Michael Papps. The batting side put up a decent score in their first match and will be expected to up their game. The bowling side, on the other hand, played much better than the batting side in the last match, with all the bowlers pitching in to take a wicket or two. Jade Dernbach, Brent Arnel, and Luke Woodcock were the top performers and are most likely to continue their form in this match as well.
Recent Form
Although they lost their first match of the season, but Wellington did not perform poorly. Both the batting and the bowling sides put in commendable efforts and can hopefully continue their good form and win this match against Canterbury.
Wellington Predicted XI
-
Hamish Marshall, Michael Papps (c), Stephen Murdoch, Luke Ronchi, Tom Blundell (wk), Michael Pollard, Luke Woodcock, Jeetan Patel, Jade Dernbach, Hamish Bennett, Brent Arnel.
Canterbury vs Wellington Head To Head
This is the first time in this season when Canterbury will be playing against Wellington. But they have been each other’s opponents twice in the last season, where both teams won a match each. Canterbury will have to work really hard to not lose three times in a row in the beginning of the season, while Wellington too still have a long way to go to give a tough competition to all the other teams if they want to win the tournament.
Canterbury vs Wellington Prediction
Last season was a good one for Canterbury and the team will hopefully push themselves in the right direction and start winning matches. Wellington have performed better in the one match they’ve played in comparison to the two that Canterbury have played in this season. Both teams don’t have a win in their pockets yet and will be trying really hard to open their victory account.
Wellington have a stronger team than Canterbury and have performed better so far and we predict them to win this match.
