Nick Kelly will be desperate for a win. Their last game against the Northern Knights was washed away by rain. Before that, the side lost both its games. They must win here to keep hopes alive for the rest of the season. Kelly must lead from the front and expect his players to perform well.
Tim Robinson and Nick Greenwood have struggled at the top, and the side needs a good show from them at the top. Nick Kelly has a vital role in the middle order, and he must build the innings with Gareth Severin and Troy Johnson.

WELL vs CANT Pitch Report
The wicket at Basin Reserve, Wellington, has a lot for the fast bowlers early in the game, and batters must approach cautiously. The ground is bigger than other venues, making boundary-hitting a challenge. It has been a happy hunting ground for spinners in New Zealand.
Toss: To Bowl
Bowlers find assistance from the surface in the early overs of the game, as we have seen in the past. Batting conditions ease in the second innings as the wicket gets flatter. The side winning the toss would have no hesitation in opting to bowl first.
