Canterbury vs Wellington 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 both matches against Wellington, Boyle failed to open the account in both games. With international players likely to miss the opening round of fixtures we expect Boyle to start the game but struggle to score well in the upcoming fixture.
Troy Johnson had a disappointing campaign last year as in nine matches, Johnson managed to score 163 with an average of 20.37 which is pretty low for a top order batsman. Johnson failed to show up in both games against Canterbury as in the first game he was dismissed for four and in the second game he could only score three runs as Wellington lost both the games. We believe Johnson would struggle to score well in the upcoming game.

Canterbury vs Wellington Betting Odds
Wellington to have a better opening partnership than Canterbury
Wellington and Canterbury had a contrasting season last year as both sides ended up on the opposite side of the spectrum in regards to points table. Canterbury ended up second on the table but were beaten by Central Districts in the finals. On the other hand, Wellington struggled throughout the campaign as they could only manage three wins in ten games and were eventually knocked out of the group stages. This year Wellington has had a solid start as they have done well in the Plunket Shield heading into this tournament hence expectations would be sky high for them to qualify for the playoffs this term. Wellington openers have been pretty consistent last year and this year in Plunket Shield they have been great too. In the last five ODI matches, Wellington has managed a 100 run and a 50 run opening stand on the other hand the highest opening partnership that Canterbury could manage in last five games is 61. What makes this tip even more enticing is the fact Wellington has managed a better opening stand in three of the last five matches which makes us believe Wellington would have a better opening stand in the opening fixture.
