TEAMS PREVIEW
Northern Districts Preview
Northern Knights have managed just one win from four games this season and have suffered two huge losses – by 175 runs against Otago and by 49 runs against Wellington in their previous clash – that has badly affected their NRR. They have a lot of catch-up to do and desperately need a few solid wins under their belt.
Henry Cooper has been their best batter so far this season, scoring 133 runs in 3 innings at an average of 45 and a strike rate of 95. Swashbuckling wicket-keeper batter Tim Seifert follows his closely with 110 runs in 3 innings at an average of 37 and a strike rate of 102.
We are also expecting some runs from all-rounder Brett Hampton and Jeet Raval.
Hampton has excelled in the bowling department, picking up 6 wickets in 3 innings at 5.67. Neil Wagner, Kristian Clarke, and Scott Kuggeleijn are our other picks for the bowlers who can make an impact here.
Northern Districts Predicted Playing XI:
Fergus Lellman, Katene D Clarke, Tim Seifert (wk), Robert O’Donnell, Henry Cooper, Jeet Raval (c), Brett Hampton, Scott Kuggeleijn, Kristian Clarke, Neil Wagner, Frederick Walker

William O’Donnell is next on the list with 189 runs in 4 innings at average of 47.25 and a strike rate of 74.40.
Skipper Finn Allen hasn’t clicked so far but he is one of the team’s best batters and we are backing him to make a big one soon.
Among the bowlers, James Neesham and Simon Keene have been the standouts this season, taking 5 wickets each. Leg-spinner Adithya Ashok has also been among the wickets and being economical.

The weather in Hamilton will be mainly cloudy and windy. There is very little chance of rain so we should get a full game.
