Rangiora is expected to have slightly dark and cloudy weather during the match. And it is expected to have intermittent rains and some rain delays in the match.
Rangiora will be hard and flat and batting will be easy in the match. The pitch might slow down as the matches progresses helping the bowlers effectively.
Teams will opt to bat first in this pitch as it will be very good for batting during the first 2-3 days and spice up as game progresses.
Canterbury are playing aggressively with both bat and ball as an unit. They have a good bowling attack that rattled the opposition batters. Wellington bowlers failed to bowl out the opposition across 150 overs last game. But their batters played well and made a 350+ score. They have been unbeaten in this season so far. We expect Wellington to win this match.
