Canterbury vs Auckland Chance of Winning

After the disappointments of last year where Canterbury got outplayed in the finals, they would be aiming to go one step ahead and go all the way this season. In the opening fixture, Canterbury registered an impressive win against Wellington but in the last game once again they were outplayed by the defending champions as Central Districts won the game with four wickets to spare.

Auckland’s form has been a cause of concern heading into this tournament. Auckland were bookies favourites in the opening fixture against Otago but lost the game by 42 runs. Auckland managed to turn things around against Otago as they won the game with seven wickets to spare. As per our calculations, Canterbury are clear favourites heading into this game.

  • Canterbury’s chances of winning - 63%

Canterbury vs Auckland Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

Matthew Boyle had a disappointing campaign last year, Boyle played six games for Canterbury last season and scored mere 25 runs with an average of 4.16 which is pretty low. In the last head to head game, Boyle could only manage to score 12 which makes us believe Boyle would struggle to score well in the upcoming game.

Finn Allen had a sublime start to the tournament as in the opening game against Otago, Allen scored 42 and in the last game against Otago, Allen single handedly destroyed the Otago bowling attack as he scored 168 off 110 balls. Auckland won the game with seven wickets to spare. Looking at his form, we believe Allen would score well in the upcoming game.

Canterbury vs Auckland Match Toss Prediction

Historically the team batting first has had a slight edge at the venue, in the last game Wellington failed to chase down a sub-par score of 220 as they lost the game by 63 runs which makes us believe both sides would prefer to bat first at the venue.

Weather Report

With 20% chances of disruptions we believe climate would not play a major role in the game. Maximum temperature is expected to be 14C during the game and minimum temperature is expected to be 9C.

Canterbury vs Auckland Betting Odds

Canterbury to have a better opening partnership than Auckland

Auckland and Canterbury headed into this tournament on the back of an underwhelming performance in Plunket Shield, even though it's tough to take much as both are different tournaments but form does have a barring on bets. Canterbury had a phenomenal tournament last term as they ended up second on the table and lost to Central Districts in the finals. But in one department where they have lacked consistency is opening partnerships which seems to have changed this season. In the opening game against Wellington, Canterbury registered an opening stand of 20 runs and in the second game against Central Districts, they managed an opening stand of 87 runs.In both games this season, Canterbury has managed a better opening stand. What turns this tip in their favour is the fact that in four of the last five matches in ODIs, Canterbury have managed a better opening stand and combining that with the struggles of Auckland, we believe Canterbury would have a better opening stand in the upcoming game.

Canterbury vs Auckland Top Team Batters

Chad Bowes to be Canterbury’s top batter

Chad Bowes had a pretty decent start to the tournament as on the wicket which was difficult to bat on, Bowes scored 26 as he managed to see off the new ball and in the last game he managed to score 36. Last year both sides went head to head twice and on both occasions, Bowes was the leading run scorer for his team which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

George Worker to be Auckland’s top batter

Even though George Worker did not have a great game in the last outing, he was one of the most consistent batsman for Auckland last year especially in the second half of the season. Last year, both sides went head to head and Worker scored a brilliant 40 off 51 balls as Auckland beat Canterbury which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Canterbury vs Auckland Top Team Bowlers

William O’ Rourke to be Canterbury’s top bowler

William O’Rourke was magnificent for Canterbury last year as he ended up with 13 wickets and was joint top wicket taker for Canterbury last season. O’Rourke had a great game against Wellington and was unlucky to have only got one wicket in the game which doesn’t outline how well he bowled which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Adithya Ashok to be Auckland’s top bowler

If something is not broken then why fix it, we are going to stick to our pick once again in the upcoming game as Adithya Ashok once against showcased his class in the opening fixture as he ended up with 2/60 and in the last game, Ashok was one of the most economical bowler in the game which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Canterbury

Historically Canterbury vs Auckland has always been a pretty even battle with Auckland holding a slight edge 3-2 in the last five matches. But this season Auckland has struggled in both tests and ODIs which is probably why the bookmakers have sided with the last year’s runner-up in this game and we believe you should do the same as Canterbury would bag maximum points in the upcoming game.
