The New Zealand domestic One Day cup began way back in November 2019 and there were a few round of match played before we break for the T20 season, where both the Big Bash as well as the Super Smash was played out. Now after a long break, players are back for the 2019/20 Ford Trophy, with 3 games scheduled in this round, all three scheduled to start at the same time.
In Match 17, we’re in for a cracker of a contest as table toppers Auckland are in action, with 20 points coming due to 4 wins from their 5 games so far. They will be playing Canterbury who have also been good this season, with 16 points coming from 3 wins in 4 games, with 1 being washed out.

Numbers
- Head to head in last 5 games, Auckland leads 3-2.

- Ben Lister – 11 wickets in 5 games this tournament so far.
- Jack Boyle – 256 runs in 5 games this tournament so far.
Auckland
Quite a few changes in this 12-man squad as Martin Guptill and Colin Munro have gone to play India, both have 220+ runs in 5 games. Similarly, Mark Chapman, Kyle Jamieson, Glenn Phillips are playing for New Zealand A and they won’t be involved in this game either. Out with a foot injury is Will Somerville which means you need to select your fantasy side very carefully in this game.
Finn Allen, Danru Ferns, Ryan Harrison, Matt McEwan are in and anyone from the last two may sit out. With the ball, Ben Lister has been the most consistent, so don’t miss out on picking him. With the bat, most of the top stars are out but Robert O’Donnell has managed 3 fifties in 5 games with a total tally of 187 runs, so he’s not someone you should miss either.
Canterbury
In this team too, quite a few players will miss out today. Cole McConchie and Todd Astle are part of the New Zealand A squad, so you can skip them from your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234”) fantasy team. Another couple of main players from this squad Tom Latham and Matt Henry will miss this game with injuries, so don’t pick them either.
Andrew Ellis will lead the side and he’s been good with the ball as well as bat, picking 8 scalps in 5 games while also scoring 93 runs with a top score of 49. With 147 runs and 2 fifties in his 5 games so far, Cole McConchie has been consistent with the bat and has bowled as many as 35 overs in 5 games. While he has only 2 wickets, he’s a potential high-value pick for today.
