Northern Knights vs Canterbury Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

Katene Clarke has failed to find consistency this season. In the last three games, Clarke has scored 4, 3 and 0 which showcases his struggles in the last few games. So far this season, Clarke has scored 152 runs with an average of 19 which is pretty low for a top order batsman which makes us believe he would struggle to score well in the upcoming game.

Even though Mitchell Hay did not have a great outing in the last game he has been pretty consistent throughout the tournament and has been giving us a good pay out this term. So far this season Hay has scored 242 runs with an average of 30.25 which makes us believe he would score well in the upcoming game.

Northern Knights vs Canterbury Match Toss Prediction

Northern Knights vs Canterbury Betting Odds

Canterbury to have a better opening partnership than Northern Knights

Canterbury and Northern Knights head into this penultimate game with both sides needing a win to qualify for the playoffs. Both sides head into this game in contrasting form, Northern Knights are winless in the last three games and on the other hand Canterbury are unbeaten in the second half of the season. One of the main reasons for Northern Knights struggles especially in the second half of the campaign is the fact they haven’t got a good start in games. In each of the last five matches, Northern Knights have conceded a bigger opening partnership. On the other hand Canterbury openers have been brilliant in the last three games as they have managed an opening stand of 88, 43 and 73 and in all three matches they have had a better opening partnership which makes us believe they would have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game against Northern Knights.

Northern Knights vs Canterbury Top Team Batters

Brett Hampton to be Northern Knights’s top batter

One of the main reasons for Northern Knights struggles in the second half of the campaign is the fact no batsman have been consistent for Northern Knights in the last few games. Brett Hampton has been phenomenal this season and with 346 runs, he is the leading run scorer for his side which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Leo Carter to be Canterbury’s top batter

Leo Carter has single handedly turned the season around for Canterbury as he has been instrumental in the last few games. In the last two matches, Carter has scored 80 against Auckland and 107 against Central Districts which makes him our top scorer in the upcoming game.

Northern Knights vs Canterbury Top Team Bowlers

Kristian Clarke to be Northern Knights’s top bowler

We are going to stick with Kristian Clarke once again even though he did not have a great outing in the last game. He has been consistent in this campaign and with 18 wickets thus far, Clarke is the leading wicket taker for Northern Knights in this tournament which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Zakary Foulkes to be Canterbury’s top bowler

Much like his counterpart Leo Carter, Zakary Foulkes impact in the second half of the campaign cannot be discounted. In the last three games, Foulkes has taken eight wickets and has been one of the most consistent bowlers in the second half of the season which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Canterbury

Even though both sides have identical records in this fixture, Canterbury has all the momentum as they are unbeaten in the second half of the campaign. On the other hand, Northern Knights are winless in the last three games which is probably why the bookmakers have sided with Canterbury in this game. We believe you should do the same as Canterbury would bag maximum points come Feb 18.
