Central Districts Likely to Dominate

Toss

The Pukekura Park is good for scoring big runs, so the team that bats first will benefit. The team that wins the toss should opt to bat first in order to make the chase a little easier.

Central Stags

Team News

Ross Taylor will be joining the team after missing the earlier matches because of an eye surgery. Luke Feldman will be replacing Ben Wheeler in the team, who’s out for playing in the NZ ODI team.

Key Players

George Worker, Mahela Jayawardene, Tom Bruce, and Will Young have scored well for the team in their recent matches, and the team will benefit a lot if they continue their good form. The bowling side is not behind as well, and has been performing very good. George Worker, Blair Tickner, and Ben Wheeler have the most successful bowlers in the team and are expected to take important wickets in this match.

Recent Form

Central Districts have been playing very well in this season and dominating the top part of the points table comfortably. The team has the capability to rule out the tough competitors and win the tournament.

Central Districts Predicted XI

George Worker, Mahela Jayawardene, Will Young (c), Tom Bruce, Ross Taylor, Dane Cleaver (wk), Ryan McCone, Marty Kain, Luke Feldman, Seth Rance, Blair Tickner

Canterbury Kings

Team News

Chad Bowes will be sitting out of the next few matches as he failed a concussion test.

Key Players

Cam Fletcher, Peter Fulton, Henry Nicholls, and Tom Latham have scored the most runs for their team up till now, and will hopefully continue to do so to help the team reach the final. The bowlers have been performing a lot better than they did in the beginning of the season. Todd Astle and Ed Nuttall have been the top and the most consistent bowlers for the Canterbury side. Ben Hilfenhaus bowled exceptionally well against Otago when he took a five wicket haul, and will hopefully give a worthy performance in this match as well.

Recent Form

Canterbury has been rising and is now in the top half of the points table. The team is getting better and has the potential to reach the top if they utilise their players well.

Canterbury Kings Predicted XI

Matt Henry, Cam Fletcher (wk), Henry Nicholls, Peter Fulton, Andrew Ellis (c), Tim Johnston, Cole McConchie, Kyle Jamieson, Todd Astle, Ed Nuttall, Logan van Beek
