Preview:
Northern Knights will take on Canterbury Kings at the Seddon Park in Hamilton. With five wins from six matches, the latter are enjoying a great season so far and they would be looking to extend their good run against the out of form Northern Knights side. Currently placed third, a win will take them to the second stop.
On the other hand, the depleted Northern Knights have their team strengthened by the return of star Kiwi batsman, Kane Williamson, after seven long years. With other New Zealand Internationals also returning into the squad, they now look a force to reckon with. With just three league games to go for them, they would want to win them all to end the season on a high.
