TEAMS PREVIEW
Canterbury Kings Preview
Canterbury Kings started their season with a 10-run loss to Otago Volts and have followed it up with another defeat in their next fixture against Auckland Aces. Chasing a target of 186, the Kings faltered and fell short by 13 runs.
The Kings will be without the services of fast bowler William O’Rourke and batter Tom Latham for the next few games as the two will be busy with the series against Sri Lanka.
Mitchell Hay, a capable wicket-keeper batter, is in line to fill Latham’s number three position.
Chad Bowes and Matthew Boyle are expected to continue the good work they have shown so far at the top of the order. The responsibility of building innings in the middle order will fall on captain Cole McConchie.
Leading the bowling attack are Henry Shipley and Angus McKenzie, who have picked up 10 wickets between them. Kyle Jamieson, known for his wicket-taking ability, should pose problems for the opposition with his pace and bounce.
