NK vs CK Team Previews
Northern Knights
Northern Knights’ first match was rescheduled due to the rains. So they will be taking on the field for the first time this season on Wednesday. After an underwhelming 4th place finish in the last season, the Knights will be hoping to put up a better performance.
The team will once again be led by Jeet Raval, who scored 226 runs and picked up 2 wickets in the previous season. Joining him at the top of the order will be Joseph Carter, Henry Cooper, and Katene Clarke. Mitchell Santner put up an excellent all-round display in the last season, but will most probably miss this match due to international duties.
With Colin de Grandhomme too missing from the squad, a lot of responsibility will fall on the shoulders of Scott Kuggeleijn and Brett Hampton. Tim Seifert will be keeping the wickets, while the bowling will rely on the likes of Neil Wagner, Kristian Clarke, Zak Gibson, and Frederick Walker.
Northern Knights Playing 11
Brett Hampton, Bharat Popli, Katene Clarke, Kristian Clarke, Tim Pringle, Frederick Walker, Henry Cooper, Jeet Raval, Neil Wagner, Scott Kuggeleijn, Tim Seifert.
Canterbury Kings
The Canterbury Kings finished had a disappointing campaign in the last season as they finished at the bottom of the points table. The Kings managed to win just 1 of their 10 fixtures, while 4 matches were washed away. However, the team is off to a good start this time as they beat Wellington by a huge margin in the opening game.
Leo Carter, who was the highest run-getter for the Kings in the last season, looks in excellent touch once more. He scored an unbeaten 67 to guide his team to a match-winning total of 267. After the top order failed to provide a good start, the middle order stepped in to salvage the situation, as Carter received good support from Tom Latham and Cole McConchie.
Henry Shipley bowled exceptionally well and decimated the opponents by picking up 6 wickets for 40 runs. With Tom Latham back in the international squad, any one of Cameron Fletcher or Mitchell Hay will get a chance in this game.
Canterbury Kings Playing 11
Angus McKenzie, Matthew Boyle, Mitchell Hay, William O'Rourke, Zakary Foulkes, Cole McConchie, Chad Bowes, Ed Nuttall, Henry Shipley, Ish Sodhi, Leo Carter.
NK vs CK Toss Prediction
The teams batting first or second have enjoyed equal success in domestic One Day games on this ground. However, looking at the International record, we feel that the team winning the toss will prefer to bowl first.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at Hamilton is excellent to bat on and we should have a high-scoring game on our hands. A score of around 270 can be considered to be a par score here. However, the team batting first will aim for a 300+ score just to feel safe.
The square boundaries are pretty short, and with the lightning-fast outfield, we are likely to see plenty of boundaries. There is a strong breeze expected on match day, which will aid the quicker bowlers to generate movement through the air. The weather is likely to be overcast with bouts of rain that may interrupt the match.
NK vs CK Betting Tips
We are predicting a win for the Canterbury Kings. They appear to have a perfectly balanced team at this stage, and all the members of the first match are expected to feature in this match except Tom Latham. The Knights on the other hand are missing a couple of key all-rounders and are likely to struggle in case the top-order collapses.
Bet on a Canterbury Kings win.
