Canterbury vs Auckland Chance of Winning
Canterbury had an exceptional season last term as they ended up with 24 points and ended up first on the table as they had a better NRR. Canterbury faltered in the final hurdle as they failed to show up in the finals against Northern Knights. Canterbury failed to defend a par score of 154 and eventually lost the game with seven wickets to spare. Canterbury have had an underwhelming performance in the Ford Trophy heading into this tournament which could have a barring in this game.
On the other hand, Auckland were on the other side of the spectrum as they were one of the worst sides in the tournament last season and ended up sixth on the table. Auckland ended up with three wins in ten games last term. This year they have been in tremendous form heading into this tournament as they top the Ford Trophy standing and have been batting brilliantly and could be a biggest positive heading into this game. As per our calculations, Canterbury are slight favourites heading into this game.
- Canterbury’s chances of winning - 55%

Canterbury vs Auckland Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Leo Carter had a wonderful campaign last year as he ended up with 305 runs and was the second highest scoring batsman for Canterbury in the campaign. But in the head to head games against Canterbury Carter failed to show up as he ended up with 10 and 0 in both matches and both sides managed to share the spoils. We believe Carter would struggle to score well against what seems to be his nemesis.
George Worker had a disappointing campaign last season and has failed to hit the ground running in prior tournaments heading into this game. In the two games against Canterbury, Worker failed to show up as he was dismissed for 12 and 7 and only managed to score 136 runs in nine innings averaging 15.11 which makes us believe once again Worker would struggle to score well in the upcoming game.

Canterbury vs Auckland Betting Odds
Canterbury to have a better opening partnership than Auckland
Auckland and Canterbury head into this tournament after contrasting end to the campaign. On one hand, Canterbury managed to top the group with 24 points and on the other hand, Auckland ended up sixth on the table with 16 points and were knocked out in the group stages. This year Auckland head into this tournament in better form as they have been the table toppers in the Ford Cup heading into this tournament and Canterbury has managed to win just one in five matches which makes this an interesting game for the neutrals. Both sides went head to head twice in the group stages. 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 which makes us believe Canterbury would have a better opening stand in the game.
