Preview for Dream11 Fantasy

Two teams that have relatively struggled in this edition of the Super Smash will come face-to-face on Sunday. In one of the two games that will be played, Canterbury will host Northern Knights in Mount Maunganui. Both these sides have got 14 points each at this stage of the tournament.

However, Canterbury has got a better NRR and has got a couple of games left, unlike the Knights who will be playing their last match. With a little luck in their favour, Canterbury still has a chance to make it into the top three. They’d focus on putting in their best possible efforts and registering a big win so that they can better the NRR as well. It will be curtains for them if the Northern Knights manage to win this one.
