Northern Knights |With just 2 wins in 7 matches so far in the Super Smash 2020-21 season, Northern Knights find themselves at number 5 with only 6 points in the points table. Given that their next two games including this one will be played at Seddon Park in Hamilton, the Knights will back themselves to finish the season on a winning note. Following back to back losses at Wellington and Christchurch where NK delivered a disappointing performance with the bat, Auckland was where Knights pulled themselves up to win their second game of the season. Courtesy of a quickfire 39 off 16 balls inning from Mitchell Santner, NK managed a 5-wickets win scoring 109 runs in 9.5 overs. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen if the top and middle-order would perform any better under different circumstances. The last game against Auckland was interrupted by rain and hence the DLS method came into play. Northern Knights have depended on a few select batsmen at the top such as Seifert and Devcich to get the team to a decent total. Colin de Grandhomme at number 4 will add more strength to the middle-order and also give Knight some hope going into this match. The big news, however, is the inclusion of Boult and Southee in the side. These two alongside Santner and Kuggeleijn form a great bowling attack. This venue will be an advantage for Northern Knights and the betting sites seem to indicate just how good and promising the current NK set up is with odds of 1.67 for Knights to win. Canterbury Kings |They are a shoo-in for the Super Smash 2020-21 title with just 1 loss so far in the season and 20 points on the board. One of the highlights of Canterbury’s wins in their last 3 consecutive matches has been the bowling. They defended 154 runs against Auckland and followed it up by restricting NK to 150-7 and Wellington to 154-7. The good news for Kings will be their skipper getting back to scoring runs in the middle as he led the team to a 4-wicket in the last game with an unbeaten 48 off 34 balls. Daryl Mitchell, Leo Carter, and Cam Fletcher make their middle and late order reliable as they’ve been among the consistent scorers for Canterbury Kings. It is Chad Bowes and Ken McClure at the top who have struggled to get going this season. While they did defeat NK back at home chasing 151 runs with McConchie scoring a fifty, this time things are different. There are Southee and Boult in the NK bowling attack to welcome Northern Knights who have a top-order that has struggled even at home. Daryl Mitchell, McConchie, and Leo Carter will be key to a good total for Canterbury Kings. In addition, McConchie and Mitchell will also be crucial with the ball alongside Matt Henry and Ed Nuttall. Todd Astle is another promising bowler in the Canterbury setup.
Northern Knights are favorites to win the match With new additions to the team, Northern Knights seem to be in a strong position playing Canterbury Kings at home. Colin de Grandhomme is likely to make a difference to the NK batting order that desperately needs a strong influence in the middle-order. The recent win against Auckland must have definitely injected confidence in the NK camp and now they will be looking to settle the score with Canterbury Kings. Though the Kings have won their last 3 games, it is mostly the bowlers who made the biggest impact. Their batting rests on a few middle-order batsmen who have been consistent. If Devcich rotates his bowlers well and they deliver breakthroughs for him just when needed, NK will likely put Canterbury on the backfoot. Northern Knights will have a big advantage if they elect to bowl first.
