AA vs CK Match 22 Predictions & Betting Tips

Canterbury Kings and Auckland Aces will clash in the 22nd match of the Ford Trophy 2021/22. The game will commence on February 18 at Eden Park Outer Oval, Auckland. Read further to know about the best player and team bets from the AA vs CK match prediction.

Canterbury was fantastic last season where they topped the points table and eventually went to beat Northern Brave in the finals to lift the trophy. This season has been slow for the team who currently find themselves at the 4th place with a win and three losses in the four games they have played. On the contrary, Auckland remain at the bottom of the points table with a single two wins and three losses in the competition so far. This will make up for a thrilling contest and you should read further for retrieving the best betting odds. Take a look at the top AA vs CK betting tips from the head to head encounter.

AA vs CK Team Bet:

I have picked Auckland for the best team bet from the AA vs CK match predictions.

AA to face an early dismissal

Although Auckland is laced with a talented line-up of batters, it still lacks the spice required to compete in the tournament which is why they are placed at the bottom of the table. They lost on three occasions and the instability of the batters caused that. The opening line-up consists of Worker and Guptill who failed to impress anyone and gave away their wicket pretty early in the competition. Guptill was replaced by Briggs, a decision they regret, who only made things worse. Auckland scored 15, 33, 5, 1 and 5 runs before facing their first dismissal in the competition. Although Worker has proved to be an asset for the team, he can sometimes slip off an strike out early as evident from the two innings he failed. Coming to bat against Canterbury will not be any easy. Pari Match offers the best betting odds in the market and you should pick them from the AA vs CK match prediction.

AA vs CK Player Bets

I have picked Worker and Carter for the best player betting tips from the AA vs CK match predictions.

GH Worker to score over 32.5

George Worker was a steal after he joined Auckland Aces, leaving Central stags, this season. He has been opening for the team and looks in good form to bat. He was fantastic in the last season where he finished 8th in the top run scorers list with 357 runs in 9 innings with an average of 39.66. The hard hitter has amassed 272 runs in his limited 10 ODIs played at an average of 34.00. This gets better batting in home conditions where he averages better. He has played 145 career List-A games where he scored 5821 runs, averaging at a fantastic 43.11. His innings is laced with 12 centuries and 32 fifties. He is currently the top run getter for his team with 286 runs in 5 outings where he smashed runs at an average of 57.20. He scored two centuries already against Wellington and Northern Brave which will be an ego booster for the batter. Enough said, it looks like a great bet to rely on for the AA vs CK head-to-head match and you should visit Pari Match to pick the best odds in favour of GH Worker for a handsome payday.

Leo Carter to score over 23.5

Leo Carter was part of New Zealand's squad for the 2014 ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup. He has been playing for Canterbury since 2018. He has batted in 26 List-A games amassing 540 runs with an average of 25.71. Carter is currently the top run getter from his team with 173 runs in 4 innings with an average of 57.66. His campaign is laced with two fifties and he strikes over 90 in the competition. He averaged pretty well in the previous edition of the Ford Trophy where he mustered 221 runs in 7 innings at an average of 44.20. This looks exceptionally well in favour of Leo Carter to carry out an expensive innings in the reverse fixture against Wellington. He has scored 54*, 25, 63 and 31 runs in the 4 innings he played so far in the competition. Carter has been consistent with the bat and is more likely to hold his ground on February 18 for the AA vs CK head-to-head match. Pari Match will offer you the best player odds in the market for Carter to score well and you should pick it for handsome returns.

My Picks:

AA to face an early dismissal

GH Worker to score over 32.5 runs - @ 1.87 (Pari Match)

Leo Carter to score over 23.5 runs - @ 1.87 (Pari Match)
