Wellington Firebirds vs Canterbury Kings Expert Prediction

Each of these two teams desperately need to put a win on the board with the pair having each won just two league games so far this season. Canterbury Kings have at least improved recently though with two wins from their last three, whereas the Firebirds are coming off the back of just one win from their most recent four matches.

However, with likes of Michael Bracewell and Tim Robinson in their side, you would expect Wellington to improve sooner rather than later and provided the bowlers can improve as a unit, we could see a better Firebirds team between now and league stage’s conclusion. Canterbury have proven capable of collapses and it may wind up a smart play to back a Wellington victory.
