Toss
The team that wins the toss is recommended to bowl first as the ground is not favourable for high scores, which will make the chase a little easier.
Wellington Firebirds Team News & Playing 11
Team News
No big changes in the Wellington team are expected for this match against Canterbury and no players in the team have been reported to be injured.
Key Players
Tom Blundell scored well against the team’s first match against Northern districts, and will be expected to replicate the performance. Luke Ronchi, Hamish Marshall, and Michael Papps have also scored good runs in the last two matches and will hopefully continue their form. The bowling side gave a better performance in their first match in comparison to their second, with all bowlers pitching in to take wickets. Jade Dernbach, Luke Woodcock, and Brent Arnel are expected to take charge and grab the most wickets this time.
Recent Form
Wellington haven’t seen a win in this season yet, out of the two matches they’ve played so far. They’ve given average performances so far but it’s too early to rule anyone out. Wellington were the last team on the points table last season and will be working hard this time to avoid the same result.
Wellington Predicted XI
-
Michael Papps, Hamish Marshall (c), Stephen Murdoch, Grant Elliott, Luke Ronchi (wk), Michael Pollard, Evan Gulbis, Jeetan Patel, Luke Woodcock, Jade Dernbach, Brent Arnel.
Canterbury Kings Team News & Playing 11
Team News
None of the players have been injured and no major changes are expected in the Canterbury squad for this match.
Key Players
Cam Fletcher, Henry Nicholls, and Tom Latham have scored decently in the otherwise weak batting side of Canterbury in the previous two matches. These players can take charge and lead the other batsmen to put up a good score on the board for the team. The bowlers also have not displayed any wonders in the three matches the team has played. Andrew Ellis, Todd Astle, and Jeremy Benton are expected to take a few important wickets, based on their previous performances. The bowlers will have to work really tightly to go against the Wellington batsmen.
Recent Form
Canterbury lost the first two games and won the third one by a slight margin of the super over. They're on a thread and really need to get their game together and start winning matches in order to climb up the points table early on.
Canterbury Predicted XI
-
Tom Latham, Chad Bowes, Henry Nicholls, Peter Fulton, Andrew Ellis (c), Cam Fletcher (wk), Tim Johnston, Todd Astle, Matt Henry, Ed Nuttall, Jeremy Benton.
Wellington vs Canterbury Head To Head
Canterbury and Wellington have gone against each other in their last match that was tied, and then went on to reach the super over, which in end was won by Canterbury. Wellington will be looking to take revenge for this match and play against Canterbury with extra efforts.
Wellington vs Canterbury Prediction
Both teams have not shown any extraordinary performance in this season up till now and are trying really hard to win games. Canterbury won their last match against Wellington which was a very close win. Wellington still haven't opened their victory account in this season and will hopefully do the same in this match on their home ground. Canterbury may have won a game but Wellington have been performing better as a team overall.
Wellington has been performing well as a team and we predict them to win this match against Canterbury.
