With little form or head-to-head history on record, Auckland Hearts and Canterbury Magicians start on level terms, and the toss and team news could decide it.
The toss could matter here. Chasing has been the better option at this ground, so the captain who calls right may well choose to bowl first. We expect a first-innings score of around 280, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.
