Canterbury vs Auckland Betting Odds

Auckland to have a better opening partnership than Canterbury

Auckland and Canterbury head into this penultimate game after both sides have been dominant in the group stages. Canterbury were sensational in the second half of the campaign as they ended the group stages with five wins in the last six matches and made the finals. On the other hand, Auckland struggled in the tail end of the campaign as they lost back to back games but in the playoffs they bounced back against Central Districts as they won the game by 91 runs. Both sides went head to head twice in the group stages and both sides managed to share the spoils. On both occasions Auckland had a better opening partnership which makes us believe they would once again end up with a better opening stand in the upcoming game.
