Canterbury vs Wellington Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Chad Bowes has had an underwhelming campaign thus far and has failed to find his footing so far in this tournament. In the five games thus far, Bowes has failed to score 1, 2, 4, 7 and 16 which showcases his struggles thus far. We believe Bowes would struggle once again in the upcoming game against Wellington and would score low once again.
Nick Kelly had a disappointing campaign last year as he scored 130 runs in eight innings with an average of 16.25. Kelly has had a great start to the season as he scored 48 off 34 balls in the opening game against Otago but since then the runs seem to have dried up for him. Since then Kelly has scored 11, 9, 7 and 23, even though Kelly scored 23 in the last game, we believe that was a one off and he would struggle to score well in the upcoming game.

Canterbury to have a better opening partnership than Wellington
Wellington and Canterbury head into this crucial game as a win for either side would see them seal a playoff spot. Wellington has been sublime this season and with 18 points in six games, they are currently at the top of the table. On the other hand, Canterbury has managed to turn around their season and 16 points are currently tied with Auckland and are third on the table. So far this season, Wellington has managed an opening stand of 1, 38, 22, 21 and 3 averaging 17 runs which is pretty low. In the last five games, Canterbury has managed an opening stand 12, 16, 23, 17 and 24 averaging 18.4 which is slightly better than their opponent. But what makes this tip such an enticing proposition is the fact, in three of the last four matches, Canterbury has had a better opening stand than their opponents which makes us believe they would manage a better opening partnership than Wellington in the upcoming game.
