Canterbury vs Wellington Betting Odds

Wellington to have a better opening partnership than Canterbury

Wellington and Canterbury head into the fixture after both sides had contrasting results in the last round of matches. Wellington did not have a great start to the tournament but they have managed to turn things around and have won back to back matches, Wellington are currently second on the table. On the other hand Canterbury got off to a good start this season as they lost once in the first four matches but in the last match they struggled against Northern Knights and are currently third on the table. A win for either side would keep them in the hunt for the top spot this season. Canterbury have conceded a bigger opening partnership in each of the last two matches which makes us believe Wellington would have a better opening stand in the upcoming game.
