Jesse Ryder and George Worker stitched a 70-run partnership in the first game against Auckland Aces. Ryder contributed 54 in that partnership and the team will want him to deliver once again. Tom Bruce will also be crucial at the top of the order. Blair Tickner was the pick of the bowlers with two wickets but was very expensive. The key for the Stags however will be Adam Milne and Doug Bracewell.

Canterbury Kings Team News & Playing 11
Ben Stokes announced his arrival with a significant contribution of 93 off just 47 balls to power the Kings to a mammoth total of 217 against Otago Volts. He is undoubtedly the most valuable asset to the team and he will also have a major role to play with the ball as well. Todd Astle picked up three wickets in that game and the Kings will have a lot of hopes from the legspinner. Matt Henry took two wickets and he could trouble the Stags with his pace.

Central Districts vs Canterbury Prediction
Central Districts faced disappointment in the opening game of the Super Smash 2017/18 as they lost to Auckland Aces despite putting up 192 on the scoreboard. Canterbury Kings on the other hand will be high on confidence after their thumping 134-run victory over Otago Volts in their first game. However, there seems to be too much dependence on Ben Stokes when it comes to batting and they could really struggle if he has a bad day in this match. Central Districts defeated Canterbury Kings both times last year and we feel they could register a third-straight win over them.
Final Verdict: Back Central Districts to beat Canterbury Kings.
