CTB vs WEL Dream11 Prediction: Maximum return from the opening game will be the only target for Canterbury and Wellington when both kick-off their Ford Trophy 2020-21 season, also known as New Zealand ODD on Dream11, at Hagley Oval, Christchurch on early Sunday morning (IST). Here is CTB vs WEL Prediction for this fixture. The pitch at the Hagley Oval, Christchurch can be an absolute haven for the batting team. Almost every team touched the 250-run mark in games at this ground last season. In fact the highest total of last season came on this ground when eventual champions Auckland made the mickey out of the opponents on their way to 401 runs. So expect either team winning the toss, to bat first here and put the other team under pressure. But Canterbury’s tactics shouldn’t change much whether they bat first or second. They are one of the top teams in the domestic circuit and after the 2019-20 season where they locked down the second spot, the expectations are high as usual from them to at least make the cut for the next round. Pressure will be more on Wellington to right the wrong that plunged them down last season. They lack consistency, finishing fifth last season and failed to qualify for the knockout rounds. A good start to the campaign can help lay foundation for the successful season.
