Central Stags and Canterbury Kings lock horns in match 9 of Dream11 Super Smash on Saturday, 30th December. The match will be played at Pukekura Park, New Plymouth and the scheduled start time is 8:30 AM IST. Let us look at CS vs CTB Dream 11 prediction, top fantasy picks, match preview, probable XI and the likely winners.
Match Preview
It’s been a tournament marred by rains as three of the nine matches played getting abandoned. Two of the three were matches involving the Stags and the Kings. Both teams will face each other on the back of two washed-out games.
Coming into the match, the Stags will be kind of relieved that the match didn’t happen. It would have meant a scenario of them playing three matches in four days. Currently they sit third on the table with six points with one win and a loss. The win came against Northern Knights at Fitzherbert Park on December 27. Doug Bracewell‘s 93 (33) and Jayden Lennox’s 4/15 were the highlights of that game.
On the other hand, the Canterbury Kings will feel a bit hard done by the washout versus the struggling Otago Volts. The Kings will also feel a bit undercooked coming into the game as they haven’t played a game since December 19. They lost that game to Auckland Aces by 27 runs. Come Saturday the Kings wouldn’t expect anything other than a win against the Stags.
