Everyone’s so used to fast-paced T10 and T20 cricket these days and we tend to let the bigger challenges go by unnoticed. We have the 2020/21 Plunket Shield taking place in New Zealand, which is the highest FC competition in the country, and it’s scheduled between Oct 2020 – April 2021 between which time 6 regional teams will play 24 FC games in the tournament.
The last season was called off earlier this year because of the coronavirus threat and Wellington was named champions. Now, we have Northern Knights in action in Match 1 as they take on Central Districts between 19-22 Oct at Hamilton. Pick batsmen as this ground has historically seen high scores.

Numbers
- Highest total at this ground – 715/6 (New Zealand – 2019).
- Henry Cooper – scores of 130 and 111 in last 2 FC games.
- Neil Wagner – 22 wickets in 4 FC games last season.
Northern Knights
Their top run scorer in the 2019/20 Plunket Shield was Henry Cooper who hit two consecutive centuries before the season was called off, and he had a total of 499 runs in 5 games, with 3 centuries but hasn’t played any professional cricket since then.
With the ball, Neil Wagner carried this team in the last season and there’s absolutely no questions about including him in your NK vs CD fantasy team because of so much of international experience and the fact that he can single-handedly blow away opponents when he’s found the right rhythm.
Central Districts
Talking about international experience, we have Blair Tickner in this side who picked 18 wickets in 4 games in the last season and he’s someone who recently played 5 T20Is for New Zealand as well. However, he’s not even their top wicket-taker in that tournament, with Willem Ludick bagging 21 wickets in 6 games and he should also be picked in your fantasy team today.

With 454 runs in 6 games, Greg Hay was their leading run scorer and most of it was because he scored 5 consecutive fifties leading up to the Covid-19 break, and it’ll be interesting to see if he can make it 6 innings in a row. Either way, pick him in your My11Circle (Get Rs.500 Bonus*) fantasy team.
