We are down to the last two matches in the Ford Trophy 2022-23 and the best three sides have made it thus far. Central Districts, by the virtue of finishing at the top, have managed to directly walk through to the finale. The two other sides, Otago Volts and Canterbury Kings will be meeting each other in the preliminary final with the winner moving on to play Canterbury Kings.

 

The prelim-final match is scheduled to be played on 17th February 2023 at the John Davies Oval in Queenstown. This is a do-or-die encounter, with the winner advancing to the final of the Ford Trophy 2022-23. Both sides have done exceedingly well to move to this stage and promise to produce a cracker of a contest.

 

In terms of head-to-head record, Canterbury Kings have a slight advantage over Otago Volts. The two teams have faced each other 28 times in the Ford Trophy, with Canterbury Kings winning 15 games and Otago Volts winning 12. One game was abandoned due to rain.

 

In their most recent encounter, Canterbury Kings defeated Otago Volts by 55 runs. However, past results will count for little in this knockout game, and both teams will be looking to give their best performance.

Overall, this promises to be an exciting contest between two evenly matched teams. Both teams have players who are in good form, and it will be interesting to see how they perform under pressure. The team that holds its nerve and executes its plans better on the day will come out on top and advance to the final of the Ford Trophy 2022-23. Considering all that, a bet on Canterbury Kings seems a much better option largely because of the experience they have and the way they played in the league stage.
