NK vs CK Dream11 Team Prediction Tips for Super Smash Northern Knights vs Canterbury Kings 21 January

NK vs CK Dream 11 Team: The 20th match of the Super Smash 2020/21 is scheduled on 21st January. The Northern Knights will face-off against Canterbury Kings. The Northern Knights have experienced players in the squad but have been unable to perform well as a team this season. There have been good individual performances from players like Devich and Siefert. The opener, Jeet Raval can be a support to the team, while Kane Williamson will play his first match of the season. The team has all-rounders like Santner and Grandhomme who can be useful in the shortest format due to their experience and abilities. Then Scott has been contributing in both departments which have surely helped the team in crucial situations. The New Zealand team frontline pacers, Southee and Boult returned for the team in the last match and would look to pick key wickets for the team.

On the other side, Canterbury’s side has been impressive and is through to the semifinals of the tournament with more than 4 matches remaining in the league stage. The team has been riding on a good form of their middle-order batsmen Boyle and McConchie. The openers, Bowes and McClure have also given valuable contributions to the team. In the middle-order, Daryl Mitchell has been consistent in stabilizing the team so that the team put up a good total on the scoreboard. While international players like Astle and Henry have good experience in the T20 format which has helped the team to have an edge over the opposition team.
