CTB vs WEL Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's New Zealand ODD Match 3 – Nov 29, 2020
It is the start of the white-ball season of the New Zealand domestic competition. Canterbury will be up against Wellington in one of the three games on the opening day of this Ford Trophy 2020-21. The Hagley Oval in Christchurch will be the venue for this game.
Canterbury had a decent season in 2019-20, as they finished second on the points table of the 2019-20 Ford Trophy. They had a rousing start to that tournament but fell away in the second half of the competition, as they lost five out of the last six games, including the Elimination Final. Canterbury have announced a new captain as well, in Leo Carter, and they will have New Zealand internationals - Matt Henry, Tom Latham, and Henry Nicholls for the first game.
On the other hand, Wellington had a very inconsistent 2019-20 season where they finished fifth on the points table. They will be aiming to start well this time around. There are quite a few regular members of the squad unavailable due to the international and New Zealand ‘A’ commitments.
Squads to choose from
Canterbury: Leo Carter (c), Todd Astle, Chad Bowes, Jack Boyle, Sean Davey, Cam Fletcher (wk), Matt Henry, Tom Latham, Henry Nicholls, Edward Nuttall, Fraser Sheat, Theo van Woerkom, Will Williams.

Pitch Report
The 22-yard surface at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch is an excellent one to bat on. Last season, there were five Ford Trophy games here and each of them saw the team batting first put up 250+ every time. In fact, Auckland even scored 401 in one of the games. 290-300 could well be a par total on this track as the ball comes on to the bat nicely.
