THE PREDICTION
Both these sides have played five matches so far and it’s Canterbury who boasts the superior record, winning three of those five fixtures, losing just once whilst Central Stags have lost twice and won just once. The last time the two clashed in red ball cricket was last year with the final outcome a draw. Canterbury have come a long way since then and whilst their batting hasn’t been spectacular, their bowling has been their strong suit throughout this competition. This bodes well for them against a side low on confidence off the back of being bowled out for just 82 in their second innings by Northern Districts, ultimately losing by 141 runs. With that in mind, back Canterbury to emerge triumphant, but keep an eye on the weather forecast leading up to the start of play before making any moves.
