The Ford Trophy CK vs AA Match Predictions and Betting Tips

The 30th match of the Ford Trophy will take place between the Canterbury Kings and the Auckland Aces at Mainpower Oval (Recreation Ground) in Rangiora on 28 Feb and I have collected the best CK vs AA betting markets for you to take away money.

Canterbury Kings have played phenomenally this season, winning 6 of the 9 games they played, they are currently on the top of the charts with 27 points leading the series by 5 points currently. Auckland have lost 5 of the 9 matches they played in the series so far, and are currently at 4 position with 18 points. In the last match between the teams, Canterbury Kings scored 313 runs in their 50 overs, and then completely decimated Auckland's batting squad and got them all out at 97 runs! Henry Nichols was the player of the match, with 113 runs from the game. Canterbury are the favourites to win the match, and Auckland still might have a chance to fight in the eliminators if they win this match, but Otago Volts would have to lose to the Firebirds in their game happening at the same time. For CK vs AA betting head to head, I have gathered the best markets that you can win from.

Graeme Beghin to score under 20.5 runs

The second player I have lined up for you is for this Kiwi to underperform, and if we look at his play this year, he is most likely to do that. Graeme Beghin is the opener for Auckland Aces, and from the 7 List A matches he played this season, he managed to score only 98 runs, at an average of 16.33. This is obviously very good for our bet, as he scored under the target in 5 of the 7 games. Even in the 3 games he has played against Canterbury in his career, he did not manage to reach 11 runs in 2 of the 3 games. In the match against Canterbury this season Beghin managed to score only 10 runs, and it was the first match he had played on the pitch.
