Central Districts vs Canterbury Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
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 which makes us believe he would struggle to score well in the upcoming fixture.
Chad Bowes had a sensational campaign last year as he was the leading run scorer for Canterbury in the last campaign. Even though Bowes did not fare well in the opening game against Auckland, we are going to back the Canterbury opener in this game as he scored 89 off 52 balls in the last head to head game against Central Districts which makes us believe he would score well in the upcoming game.

Central Districts vs Canterbury Betting Odds
Central Districts to hit more sixes than Canterbury
Canterbury and Central Districts had contrasting campaigns last term as Canterbury had a stunning run in the group stages as they topped the group and qualified for the playoffs. On the other hand, Central Districts had a great start to the tournament but capitulated at the end as they lost each of the last four games and failed to make the playoffs. 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 in the tournament 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.
