Canterbury vs Auckland Chance of Winning
Auckland have had a fabulous start to the season as they have one loss in five games thus far. Auckland would feel unlucky as much like other teams they have two games that were called off and considering how they have played they would feel they could have more points and could have been in commanding position on the points table. In the last game, Auckland destroyed high flying Wellington as they won the game by 53 runs.
Canterbury had an underwhelming start to the campaign as they were beaten by Auckland in the opening game. Much like their opponents, Canterbury has one loss in five games as they head into game after back to back wins against Central Districts and Otago. The last game against Central Districts was called off due to rain. As per our calculations, Auckland are favourites heading into this fixture.
- Canterbury’s chances of winning - 45%
- Auckland’s chances of winning - 55%
Canterbury vs Auckland Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Chad Bowes has had a torrid campaign thus far and has failed to find his footing in this competition. In the three games thus far, Bowes has failed to hit the double figure mark. Both sides went head to head earlier this season and Bowes failed to show up as was dismissed for two runs in eight balls which makes us believe Bowes' struggles would continue in the upcoming game and would score low in the game.
Martin Guptill has had a fabulous tournament thus far as the New Zealand veteran has showcased tremendous form so far. In the three games so far, Guptill has been the standout performer for his side as he has scored 47, 7 and 85. His 85 in the last game took Auckland over the line as Wellington registered their first loss of the tournament. We believe Guptill would score well in the upcoming game.

Canterbury vs Auckland Betting Odds
Canterbury to have a better opening partnership than Auckland
Auckland and Canterbury have showcased their dominance in the last few games and are level on points heading into this fixture. Both sides have already squared off once this season and Auckland dominated the game from the word go as they won the game by 27 runs. Both sides went head to head twice in the group stages last year. In the first game Canterbury managed an opening stand of 72 runs and in the second game once against Canterbury openers were sensational as Canterbury managed an opening stand of 48 runs. What makes this tip even more enticing is the fact in both matches, Canterbury had a better opening stand and this year as well in two of the three games they have posted a better opening partnership which makes us believe Canterbury would have a better opening stand in the game.

Canterbury vs Auckland Top Team Batters
Henry Nicholls to be Canterbury’s top batter
Henry Nicholls has had a fabulous domestic season thus far, he missed the first game against Auckland which Canterbury lost but since then, Nicholls has scored 23 and 59 and his inclusion has led to back to back wins for Canterbury which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Finn Allen to be Auckland’s top batter
Finn Allen had been incredible throughout the domestic season thus far. He was flawless in Ford Trophy and has managed to replicate his form in this tournament. In the two games thus far Allen has scored 26 and 50. Looking at his form its hard not to pick him as our top batsman in the upcoming game.
Canterbury vs Auckland Top Team Bowlers
Michael Rae to be Canterbury’s top bowler
Michael Rae had a brilliant domestic campaign last year with Otago as he ended up with 16 wickets and was the second highest wicket taker in the tournament. Once again this season Rae has stepped up and with five wickets is the joint top wicket taker for Canterbury which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Danru Ferns to be Auckland’s top bowler
We are going to stick with Danru Ferns once again in the upcoming game. He has been brilliant thus far in this tournament and with eight wickets is the leading wicket taker for Auckland thus far. In the three games, Ferns has ended up with 3/30, 2/29 and 3/26 which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
