Canterbury Form

Canterbury are struggling this season with three defeats in their opening three games. The pressure is already on the former champions if they want to reach the playoffs.

Last time out, Canterbury batted first against Otago, scoring 169 in 20 overs. Matthew Boyle was superb with 81 runs while five of the top seven scored less than 10 runs.

Otago never really looked in trouble in the chase, scoring the required runs with eight balls to spare. The bowlers toiled hard, but it was a good pitch, one where 169 was well below par.

Canterbury Injuries & Team News

Canterbury may be looking to make some changes after three defeats. This is very close to a must-win game.

Auckland Form

Auckland have had a tough start to the season but are third after three games. They have not lost yet as their opening two games ended with a no result due to the weather.

The last game they played was a home win over Canterbury, the same opponents they face this time. Batting first, Martin Guptill scored 60 of 35 balls while Bevon Jacobs added 53 in a 185-run total.

Canterbury got off to a strong start, putting on 87 for the first wicket, but thereafter the bowlers took charge and bowled them out for 172 runs.

Auckland are likely to remain unchanged.

Verdict

Canterbury v Auckland - T20

Auckland are backed to beat Canterbury again, as they did less than a week ago. Martin Guptill is tipped to top score while for Canterbury, Chad Bowes has value in the same market.
