Preview
The team captained by Cole McConchie lost the most recent match against Otago by nine wickets. The team has only won one game this season, which is a dismal performance. There has been volatility in the batting order. McConchie will be looking for a great performance out of his men as they take on a formidable foe.
They will need Chad Bowes and Rhys Mariu, who failed in both innings of the previous game, to get off to a great start. With Mitch Hay and Leo Carter in the middle order, McConchie needs to get up and lead the inning. Lower middle order players Zakary Foulkes, Ish Sodhi, and Michael Rippon will try to score runs.
Zakary Foulkes and Sean Davey need to get going quickly since the Northern Knights’ batsmen have been playing quite well. Since he is this team’s finest bowler, Ish Sodhi needs to perform well if the side is to win. The team will need Michael Rae and Angus McKenzie to find their form because they haven’t been reliable.
Full Squad:
Chad Bowes, Harry Chamberlain, Ken McClure, Leo Carter, Matthew Boyle, Rhys Mariu, Sean Davey, Bevon Jacobs, Cole McConchie (C), Michael Rippon, Ed Nuttall, Mitchell Hay (WK), Angus McKenzie, Zakary Foulkes, Fraser Sheat, Henry Shipley, Matt Henry, Cameron Paul, Dylan Hunter.

Henry Cooper and Jeet Raval will want to get this game off to a strong start.

Brett Hampton and Peter Bocock will try to chip in with runs in the bottom middle order.
Batsmen have been plagued by Kristian Clarke and Matthew Fisher this season, and they will try to attack with the new ball.
