Wellington did not make the playoffs last season even though they got off to a solid start last season as they ended the season with three defeats in four matches.

Canterbury are the defending champions and they got off to a great start this season as they went head to head against Otago and Canterbury dominated the match as they won the game with six wickets to spare and would be hoping to carry on their form. As per our calculations, Canterbury are favourites in the upcoming game.

Wellington vs Canterbury Betting Odds

Canterbury to have a better opening partnership than Wellington

Wellington and Canterbury go head to head after both sides had contrasting starts to the season. Wellington struggled for consistency last season as they ended last season with three defeats in four games but their form continued this season as they got outplayed against Central Districts in the opening game. On the other hand, Canterbury had a historic season last year as they won the championship and in the opening game they dominated against Otago. Last season both teams went head to head twice and Canterbury won on both occasions and in both games they ended up with a better opening stand which makes us believe Canterbury will end up with a better opening stand in the upcoming game.
