Usually a high performing team in the New Zealand domestic circuit, it’s been a tough 2020 Ford Trophy so far for Central Districts, a team languishing at the bottom of the points table right now after having played 5 round robin games. They’ve managed 4 losses and had one game lost to rain which means they’re yet to open their account in the 2020 Ford Trophy so far.
They have another chance to do so today but it’s going to be a tough ask as they’re up against the table toppers Canterbury who has 4 wins in 5 games and have just one loss this season, against Northern Districts a couple of games ago. These teams have already played once this season and Canterbury emerged victorious. Keep reading for our complete PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) fantasy preview of the CD vs CTB game…

Central Districts
Usually an all-rounder, George Worker bowled only once in this tournament where he picked up 2/32 in 5 overs but hasn’t bowled other than that However, he’s their top scorer with 214 runs in 4 innings and should be in your CD vs CTB fantasy team. Another similar all-round contributor in this team is Josh Clarkson and he’s got 3 wickets in addition to a top score of 51, so either of these can be your fantasy captain or vice-captain.
If you want another batting pick, go in for Ben Smith who doesn’t have too many big scores across formats over the last few months but he’s got scores of 44 and 79 in his last 2 games, so he’s worth picking for sure. With the ball, there’s an exciting option in 19-year old Joey Field who has gone wicketless in 3 of his 4 games. However, the only game he performed, he got a 4-fer and is someone to watch out for, for sure. Dane Cleaver returns to the squad.
Canterbury
Another pick for your fantasy captain or vice-captain today is Todd Astle who has managed 102 runs in 3 innings and also 4 wickets so far this tournament. Leo Carter is another batting pick for today’s CD vs CTB fantasy team who has 185 runs in 5 games and the best part is that he’s got a start in every game, with a lowest dismissed score of 22 and we’re sure of him to get some fantasy points in this game. Cole McConchie returns to the squad as well.

While he wasn’t a part of the side in the first few games, Ken McClure came into the side and is now the highest scorer in the tournament in just 3 games. He’s got scores of 107, 105 and 61* so far and can’t be left out of your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) fantasy team. With the ball, Matt Henry comes with plenty of international experience and while he isn’t their leading wicket-taker, he’s managed 7 scalps in 4 games so far.
