NK vs CK
Winning Prediction
Northern Knights are the strong team in terms of experience and star power on paper with the likes of Boult, Southee, Kuggleijn, Seifert, De GrandHomme, and Devcich in the team. But, Canterbury ash been on a roll this season and have a very balanced batting and bowling units with all-rounder`s providing depth in both departments. Canterbury has momentum on their side and their young team will take confidence from their previous victories and will look to defeat their senior national pros in this game. We expect Canterbury to continue their winning streak.
Canterbury will win the match
