By Pranob Thachanthara

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Wellington vs Canterbury match. We are covering WEL vs CTB 2nd ODD Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the ODD match. The match is to be played at Basin Reserve, Wellington.

Canterbury had a good run in Ford Trophy 2017-18 but were knocked out in the semi finals. They will miss few key players in the initial part of tournament but still have a strong squad balanced in all departments of game. They will hope to get a good start and early momentum by winning their first match of the tournament.

Wellington could not have a good run in 2017-18 and just won two matches out of seven matches. They will hope to start fresh this season and will be without services of many star players but have added few new entrants into the squad who are ready to debut for the side. They will hope to put a good show tomorrow.

A good match can be expected between both teams.
