After both of the Wellington Firebirds openers got ducks in the defeat against Central Stags, they will clearly be looking for more runs from the top order in this match. Logan van Beek could be promoted up the order after striking 61 not out from number eight in the last game.
After the success of the 2020-21 season, Firebird’s defeat in their last game was their first in many games in the Super Smash.

We expect to see the same Canterbury Kings XI in this match. They have no injury worries in the squad and picked up their first win of the Super Smash 2021 last time out. With the captain in good form with the bat and the experienced pair of Todd Astle and Matt Henry taking wickets, the Kings look to be a strong side again.
The Kings have won two of their last five Super Smash games but we're not far from their best in their last fixture.
Chad Bowes, Ken McClure, Leo Carter, Cole McConchie (c), Cam Fletcher (wk), Mitchell Hay, Matt Hay, Matt Henry, Todd Astle, Will Williams, Ed Nuttall
The Firebirds have won their last three matches against the Kings.
