Auckland vs Canterbury Predictions

This is tough to call so early in the season considering that Auckland have not completed either of their games. Canterbury lost their only fixture by a narrow margin. Given their recent dominance in this fixture, I’m backing Auckland to win.

Head to Head

Auckland have won three of their last four matches against Canterbury. Last season they beat Canterbury twice.

Auckland Form

Auckland have four points after two matches with both games abandoned before completion due to the weather. After not even getting out on the field for their opener, the second game was also affected against Otago.

Batting first in a game reduced to 17 overs per side, Martin Guptill scored 31 runs while wickets continued to fall around him. Eventually, Auckland were all out for 106 runs.

Otago came out firing in their innings, racing to 26 runs in 1.5 overs but the weather gods had the final say as rain began to fall.

Auckland Injuries & Team News

Expect Auckland to be unchanged given that they have not completed a single game yet.

Canterbury Form

Canterbury lost their opening game of the Super Smash season against Otago. Otago batted first, scoring 165 runs in 20 overs.

Kyle Jamieson was the pick off the bowlers with 2-26 in four overs. The chase looked good at one point but other than Cole McConchie’s 49 runs, there was little to write home about.

Canterbury were all out off the final ball of the innings with their score on 155, losing by 10 runs.

Canterbury Injuries & Team News

Canterbury would like to get their season underway with a strong performance. They should be close to unchanged.

Verdict

Auckland v Canterbury - T20

Auckland are backed to beat Canterbury with Martin Guptill to fire with the bat.
