Wellington vs Canterbury Chance of Winning
Wellington had a sublime start to the campaign as they had one loss in first seven games and were favourites to take the top spot in the group stages but they faltered in the second half of the campaign as they ended the group stages with three defeats on the bounce. In the last game they got outplayed by Canterbury who needed a win to make the playoffs this term.
On the other hand, Canterbury has struggled for consistency this season which is probably why they looked uncertain this season. But when push came to shove, they managed to turn things around and ended the campaign with three wins in the last four games. As per our calculations, Canterbury are slight favourites in the upcoming game.
- Wellington’s chances of winning - 45%

Wellington vs Canterbury Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Even though Wellington have been sensational thus far, Nathan Smith has had an underwhelming campaign thus far. So far this term, Smith has scored 97 runs in nine matches with an average of 19.40. In the last game against Canterbury, Smith scored five of seven balls which makes us believe he would struggle to score well in the upcoming game.
Chad Bowes had a decent outing in the last game against Wellington as he scored 35 runs but that doesn't change the fact he has had a disappointing campaign thus far. So far in ten games, Bowes has scored 157 with an average of 19.62 which is pretty low for an opening batsman which makes us believe Bowes would struggle to score well in the upcoming game.

Wellington vs Canterbury Betting Odds
Canterbury to have a better opening partnership than Wellington
With Group stages all wrapped up, Wellington and Canterbury go head to head once again in the Elimination round after what has been a solid campaign for both sides. Both teams head into this crucial game in contrasting forms. One one hand, Wellington had a distraught end to the group stages as they lost each of the last three games and on other hand, Canterbury ended the group campaign on a high with three wins in the last four games which includes a must win game against Wellington in the final fixture. In the last five matches, Wellington has managed an opening stand of 21, 3, 4, 6 and 39 averaging 14.6 runs which is pretty low. In the last five games, Canterbury has managed an opening stand of 23, 17, 24, 127 and 61 averaging 50.6 which is much higher than their opponent. But what makes this tip such an enticing proposition is the fact, in four of the last five 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.
