Canterbury vs Central Districts Betting Odds
Canterbury to have a better opening partnership than Central Districts
Canterbury and Central Districts head into this penultimate game as both sides are separated by mere two points and a winner of this game would all but secure a place in the playoffs. Both sides went head to head earlier this season and it turned out to be an absolute classic. Central Districts managed to chase down the target and eventually won the game with four wickets to spare. Even though Central Districts were so dominant in the game, Canterbury managed to have a better opening stand on the day. One of the key differences between the two sides has been the way Canterbury batted and bowled at the start of the innings throughout the campaign. In three of the last four games, Canterbury has managed to have a better opening stand. On the other hand, in three of the last four games, Central Districts have conceded a bigger opening stand which makes us believe Canterbury would have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
