Pre-Match Analysis:

Northern Districts had an outstanding tournament last season as they emerged champions with a win over Canterbury Kings in the finals by 56 runs. They dropped only one game in the entire which shows their level of dominance. It was a collective effort overall that produced some fine performances. They have named 12 member squad for the opening clash with experienced batter Jeet Raval leading the side. Tim Siefert, Mitchell Santner, and Scott Kuggeleijn bring international experience to the side. Joe Walker, Joe Carter, and Henry Cooper are the talented players in the line-up.

Canterbury Kings lost back-to-back finals in the last 2 editions and will be heading into this season with a strong intention of winning the title. Chad Bowes and Cam Fletcher are their main batters, the duo scored more than 300 runs each in the last edition. Henry Shipley is their frontline bowler and he will get much-needed support from Todd Astle and Ed Nuttal. Both sides mainly rely on their skills and we can expect an exciting contest between them.
