THE LOWDOWN

CANTERBURY KINGS

• Canterbury Kings’ middle order came up trumps for them in their successful run chase over Wellington Firebirds, as wicket-keeper Cam Fletcher guided them home with a ball to spare with an unbeaten 55.
• That result made it three wins on the bounce now for the Kings, putting them in a good position with three league matches left to play, including this one.

CENTRAL STAGS

• Central Stags came out the wrong end of an exciting encounter against Otago Volts last time out, losing by just four runs at Saxton Oval.
• Plenty of Stags batters were afforded starts but none could go on and play the decisive innings needed to break the back of the run chase and take their side home.

THE PREDICTION

The most impressive aspect of Canterbury Kings’ win over Wellington was their ability to hold their nerve in a clutch situation, the sign of a strong unit. Whilst Central Stags can take some positives out of their last game, the psychological effect of losing such a close contest could have an adverse impact on them coming into this game. With the form book firmly in Canterbury Kings’ favour and many of their players performing at a very impressive level in the competition as it stands, consider backing a Canterbury victory in this match.
