Northern Districts vs Canterbury Predictions

Northern Districts are in last place but have a game in hand over fourth-placed Canterbury. If Northern Districts win they will keep their playoff hopes alive, but they will then probably need to win their two remaining matches.

Head-to-Head

Canterbury have won three of the last five meetings between the two sides, including the last meeting just over a week ago.

Northern Districts Form

Northern Districts ended a run of five defeats by beating second-placed Wellington by seven wickets.

The Northern Districts bowlers ran through the Wellington top order, reducing them to 27/6. They were all out for 102 off 18.3 overs, Scott Kuggeleijn (2/14) starring with the ball.

Northern Districts raced to the win off 15.3 overs, Jeet Raval top-scoring with 32 off 28 balls.

Northern Districts Team News

After their blistering win over Wellington, Northern Districts are likely to keep the same side for the rest of the Super Smash.

Canterbury Form

Canterbury’s playoff chances took a knock after losing two of their last three games.

Their most recent match was against Wellington, who piled up 184/5 off their 20 overs. Angus McKenzie (3/15) was the pick of the Canterbury bowlers.

Canterbury started well through Tom Latham (44) and Henry Nicholls (41) but they couldn’t maintain their chase, ending 163/7 off their 20 overs.

Canterbury Team News

Canterbury need more runs from their top order to bring them the wins they need to make it through to the playoffs.

Verdict

Northern Districts v Canterbury

I am backing Canterbury to win. I am also backing Henry Nicholls to top score for Canterbury.

Jeet Raval is a good bet to top score for the Northern Districts.

Canterbury Win
