This should be a tight game, but we think Canterbury Kings have just enough to get over the line.

They also have the upper hand over Northern Districts, winning 11 of the 18 meetings between the two sides that produced a result.

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 250, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.

ND vs CK Pitch Report

Cobham Oval, Whangarei

This is a ground where bowlers stay in the game, and totals at Cobham Oval are usually on the low side.

The first-innings average over the last 19 List A games at this ground is 240, and 189 in the second innings. Anything in the 225-255 range should make a competitive total. There is little to choose between batting first and chasing, 11 wins to 8 across the last 19 decided games.

Toss call: a close one. Bowling first and knowing the target is the safer choice.
