This will be the opening fixture for both these teams in the 2023 season of the Ford Trophy. Canterbury will look to continue their exceptional 2022 campaign this time around as well. They dominated the league, however, lost the finals.
Wellington on the other hand did not have a great season last year. They finished bottom of the table losing 5 matches while winning only 3. Wellington will want to put that in the past and improve their performances this year.

Canterbury lost their previous match by 6 wickets. Batting first in the match they posted a below par total of 212 runs on board. Captain Cole McConchie was the top scorer for the team with his 54 run knock. However, he was not assisted by any other batsmen and the total always seemed to be 50 runs short.
The bowlers gave their best to defend the target set. They managed to pick up 4 wickets in the innings. William O’Rourke and Sean Davey picked 2 wickets each in the match. The total was eventually chased down with 39 balls to spare. Canterbury will look to go one step further in this season of the Ford Trophy.

Wellington lost the last match they played by 7 wickets. Wellington batted first in the match and put up 219 runs on board. Luke Georgeson was the top scorer for the team with his composed 52 run innings up the order. He was the only batter who performed for the team as everyone else buckled down under pressure.
The bowling could not help the matters much as the target was chased down rather convincingly by the opposition batsmen. Wellington managed to pick up only 3 wickets in the match and all of them were taken by Logan van Beek. No bowler apart from him got any luck with the ball.

The pitches in New Zealand are excellent for batting, and the Hagley Oval in Christchurch is no exception. This pitch is fantastic for batting, and the hitters will have a terrific time in the middle. The course has an even bounce, so batters will have no trouble hitting their strokes. The pacers will benefit from the pitch in the early overs of the game, and because it is an open field, the breeze will undoubtedly blow in.
The temperature will be around 15 degrees Celsius here during the match and it will get colder as the match progresses. There is very less chances of rainfall to ruin the match.
The match between Canterbury and Wellington will take place at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch.
The teams batting first and second have had about similar success at this stadium, with the average first innings score being 250. However, due to past results here the team winning the toss will look to bowl first and make full use of the early swing.
The first match of the competition for both the teams will be tight with all the preparations from either camps. However, having had success in the previous season on top of playing on home conditions, we predict that Canterbury will defeat Wellington in this match.
