Probable Playing XI
NK:
Northern Knights shouldn’t tinker with their combination although they lost their previous game by just one run. The likes of Dean Brownlie and Anton Devcich are crucial to their fortunes with Tim Seifert due for a big score at the top of the order. Their bowling unit has some experience with Ish Sodhi and Scott Kuggeleijn capable of picking wickets regularly on what is a good batting track.
Tim Seifert, Katene Clark, Dean Brownlie, Joe Carter, Anton Devcich, HR Cooper, Brett Hampton, Scott Kuggeleijn, Anurag Verma, Ish Sodhi and Zak Gibson
CD:
After registering their first win of the season on Wednesday, Central Districts should persist with the same set of players for this game as well. While Ajaz Patel and Blair Tickner didn’t feature in the previous game, the likes of Seth Rance and Willem Ludick stood up to derail Wellington. Much is expected of Tom Bruce, whose international experience is bound to come in handy along with George Worker and the in-form, Ben Smith

Top Picks for NK vs CD Dream11 Team:
George Worker’s tally of 236 has served Central Districts well this season. The allrounder currently tops the batting charts and is a useful addition alongside Tom Bruce and Tim Seifert. Another keeper in Dean Cleaver is also picked with the CD keeper scoring 160 runs this season in four outings. While Anton Devcich and Dean Brownlie also find a place in the fantasy side, all eyes will be upon Scott Kuggeleijn and Ish Sodhi, who are genuine wicket-taking threats in the shorter formats. Seth Rance should pick a wicket or two as well with Josh Clarkson also picked for this crucial game.
