Canterbury vs Central Districts 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.
Will Young had a decent campaign last year even though he did not get a consistent run in the team. In five matches, Young scored 145 runs with an average of 29 which is pretty decent in T20 format. In head to head games Young struggled to score well as he got out on a duck against Canterbury last year. In the last game once again Young failed to show up as he scored five off eight balls which makes us believe he would struggle to score well in the upcoming fixture.

Canterbury vs Central Districts Betting Odds
Central Districts to hit more sixes than Canterbury
Canterbury and Central Districts head into this game in contrasting forms. One one hand Central Districts have had a dismal start to the season as they have one win in four games and on the other hand, Canterbury head into this fixture after back to back wins and are currently second on the table. Last season even though Canterbury dominated the group stages they did not have a great record when it comes to hitting sixes. Even though Central Districts were second best in pretty much all the stats, one stat that they dominated in the last tournament was the number of sixes. Central Districts hit 63 sixes in the tournament which was the most sixes hit by a team even though they did not play the knockouts. On the other hand even though Canterbury played 11 games in the tournament they could only hit 48 sixes and this season in two of the three games they have conceded more sixes in the game which makes us believe Central Districts would hit more sixes in the game and you should encash on this opportunity in order to make some quick money.
