CD vs CTB Dream11 Match Preview: Although, Canterbury will be coming into this game after suffering a 23-run loss in their
previous match against Otago, they still find themselves in a
good position to qualify for the eliminator. On the other hand,
the Central Districts have already been knocked out of the
tournament and are just playing for pride. Currently, Canterbury occupies the third position on the points table with a tally of 20 points while Central Districts are languishing at the bottom with just 10 points. This will be a very crucial encounter for Canterbury in order to successfully book a spot in the knockouts and the Central Districts will also be trying their luck to spoil the opposition’s party.
