Wellington vs Canterbury Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Nick Greenwood has had an underwhelming start to the campaign in the Ford Cup. The 24 year hold has found it hard to settle down after two rounds of fixtures. So far, Greenwood has scored 10 against Canterbury and four against Northern Knights. Against a quality bowling attack of Canterbury, we believe Greenwood would once again struggle to score well in the upcoming game.
Matthew Boyle had a disappointing campaign last year, as he played six games for Canterbury last season and scored mere 25 runs with an average of 4.16 which is pretty low. Even though Boyle scored 34 in the last game, he has struggled against Wellington. Last year both sides went head to head twice and in both matches Boyle got out for a duck which makes us believe Boyle would struggle to score well in the upcoming game.

Wellington vs Canterbury Match Toss Prediction
Historically the Basin Reserve Stadium has favoured the team batting first. Last year, three games were played at the venue and twice the team batting first won the game which makes us believe both teams would prefer to bat first at the venue.

Wellington vs Canterbury Betting Odds
Canterbury to have a better opening partnership than Wellington
Canterbury and Wellington have struggled in this tournament as both sides occupy fifth and sixth spot on the points table. Wellington remains the only team in this tournament who are yet to register a win. One of the key reasons why Wellington has struggled so far is the fact their batsmen have failed to show up in the first two games and have failed to get a good start in games. In the two matches, Wellington has managed an opening stand of 17 and 7 and have conceded a bigger opening stand in both matches. On the other hand, even though Canterbury haven’t got the wins their openers have managed to get decent starts in games. So far in this campaign, Canterbury has managed an opening stand of 20, 87 and 61. What makes this tip even more enticing is the fact in each of the three games, Canterbury have had a better opening stand in all games thus far which makes us believe Canterbury would have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
