Canterbury vs Northern Knights Betting Odds
Canterbury to have a better opening partnership than Northern Knights
Canterbury and Northern Knights head into this game as the two best sides thus far. Northern Knights have had a dominant season thus far but were pegged back in the last game against Otago who were dominant from the start. On the other hand, Canterbury who struggled in the first half of the campaign seems rejuvenated in the second half of the season as they have registered back to back wins for the first time this season. Even though Northern Knights have dominated the games this season they have struggled in the powerplay which has been pretty evident in the last few games. What makes this tip so intriguing is the fact in each of the last four matches, Northern Knights have conceded a bigger opening stand. On the other hand Canterbury openers have started to dominate the games and in three of the last four matches, they have had a better opening stand which makes us believe Canterbury would have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
