Our Prediction: Wellington — Correct


Pre-match analysis published on 23 January 2026:

We're backing Wellington in a match that could go either way.

No significant toss bias at Hagley Oval, Christchurch - it's been evenly split between batting first and chasing.

Little to separate these teams early on - powerplay rates are near identical. With the new ball, Canterbury have been excellent - an economy of 6.67 in powerplays.

Wellington's ability to score at 7.94 RPO through the middle keeps scoreboard pressure on.

Canterbury's death bowling has been miserly at 7.37 economy - crucial in tight finishes.

The prediction: Wellington to win at 56% probability.
