CD vs CTB Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing11 Updates for Today's Ford Trophy (New Zealand ODD) Match 16 – Dec 15, 2020

Bottom-placed Central Districts square off against table-toppers Canterbury in the sixth round of the ongoing 2020-21 Ford Trophy (New Zealand ODD). In the reverse fixture between the two teams, the Pukekura Park in New Plymouth will be the host once again.

Central Districts are the only team who are winless in the Ford Trophy this season. They have lost four of their five games in the tournament, with the one against Wellington getting washed out without a ball being bowled.

Barring their last Ford Trophy game against Canterbury, where they scored just 213 runs, Central Districts have been good with the bat, but their bowling has lacked bite.

On the other hand, Canterbury have been very consistent in the 2020-21 Ford Trophy. Except for their last-over defeat against Northern Districts, they have been absolutely dominant in the tournament.

The margin of their wins have been quite convincing too, and they currently sit atop the Ford Trophy points table with 18 points in their kitty; another win might seal a top-three spot for Canterbury.

Pitch Report

Barring the last Ford Trophy game on this pitch that saw Central Districts score only 213 runs, the Pukekura Park in New Plymouth has seen high-scoring games.

The ball comes on to the bat nicely, and the batsmen are able to play shots on the up. More of the same could be expected in this game too. However, the bowlers are likely to find some movement early on.
