Canterbury vs Northern Districts Betting Tips

Canterbury to score low before their 1st dismissal

Canterbury did not have much luck in the competition so far. They have won only a single game in the competition. Their opening order revolved around Zakary Foulkes, Dylan Hunter, Matthew Boyle before. Later, Chad Bowes entered the opening position alongside Rhys Mariu in the recent games. Bowes and Mariu average at 21.5 & 41.00 respectively in the competition. The team has posted the scores of 0, 17, 8, 11, 197 & 24 runs before their first dismissal in the 1st innings of their last six games. They did not post much impressive scores in the competition except for the last game where both the openers played an impeccable innings. They will meet for the first time this season. That said, this is a lucrative betting tip from the upcoming fixture.

Canterbury vs Northern Districts Toss Prediction

Mainpower Oval, Rangiora, is a good batting surface. The ball comes to the bat nicely, allowing batsmen to play their strokes freely. We have seen big sores in this venue in the past. Fast bowlers do well with the new ball, but it is a tough venue for the spinners as the wicket doesn't offer assistance. The toss will be crucial for the outcome of the contest. This wicket is tough to chase scores on as the bowlers find assistance in the latter half of the game. Hence, the side that wins the toss here will opt to bat first.

Weather Report

The temperature shall hover around 6-20 degree Celsius for the four days of the game. The rain might interrupt the game on the second day but the skies will stay clear on the remaining days. .
