Being the most premier limited overs tournament in New Zealand, the Ford Trophy 2020 is here again and so far, we’ve had 3 games done, all of which have seen the teams chasing ending as winners. We have Northern Districts in action and they’ve already played and won one game in this tournament, interestingly against the same team they’re lined up against today.
They’re playing Auckland and when they last met a few days back, the former ended up winning by 6 wickets in a match which was reduced to 27 overs due to rain. Remember to ensure you don’t pick any of the players who are currently with the New Zealand squad playing against West Indies.

Numbers
- 3 games in this tournament so far – all won batting second.
- Head to head in last 5 games, Auckland leads 3-2.
- Neil Wagner – only 1 wicket in his last 3 List A games.
- Brett Randell – figures of 5/22 in the opening game.
Northern Districts
While he has been one of the leading wicket-takers in FC cricket in New Zealand, Neil Wagner hasn’t been amongst the wickets in limited overs games, so we’re leaving him out of our NK vs AUK fantasy team today. Instead, we think Anurag Verma is a good pick as he’s been brilliant in recent months, with 15 wickets in his last 6 limited overs games, both List A and T20 formats.
Over the years, Jeet Raval has been the most consistent players in the FC circuit and now, he’s set to get some runs in this tournament too, having racked up 43 runs in the opening game as well. The side is being led by Anton Devcich who is usually an all-rounder but hasn’t bowled in recent months. Though he failed with 4 in the last game, his last domestic score was of 76 and we think he’ll be among the runs here too.
Auckland
In the last game, Graeme Beghin scored 47 in the last game and it’s not just this format but he’s got a couple of centuries as well in recent FC games, so make sure he’s in your NK vs AUK fantasy team. Having been dropped from the national T20 squad, Colin Munro will be eager to score a few runs and make a point. He scored only 7 runs in the last game but is coming off a couple of fifties in the CPL 2020 season.

One of the most experienced players in the squad, William Somerville is another good pick for your PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) fantasy team, someone who has 15 wickets in 4 Tests for New Zealand and he can bat if required as well. Another player who is guaranteed to perform is Benjamin Lister who was wicketless in the last game but he bagged 6/50 when these two teams met in Feb 2020.
