What is the pitch report for CS vs CTB, Ford Trophy 2022/23, Final?
There will be assistance for the bowlers in the first hour of play and the wicket will only get better to bat on after 25 overs. The ball will come much better onto the bat in the latter half hence bowling first is a good option.

What are the fantasy suggested teams for CS vs CTB, Ford Trophy 2022/23, Final?
1. Dane Cleaver, Cam Fletcher, Leo Carter (vc), Ben Smith, Tom Bruce, Doug Bracewell, Cole McConchie, Brad Schmulian (c), Ajaz Patel, Ed Nuttall, William O’Rourke
2. Dane Cleaver (c), Cam Fletcher, Leo Carter, Tom Bruce, Doug Bracewell (vc), Cole McConchie, Josh Clarkson, Brad Schmulian, Ed Nuttall, Raymond Toole, William O’Rourke
Pre-Match Analysis:
Central Stags will be without their star players Will Young and Blair Tickner who are currently part of the New Zealand ODI squad. They will get the services from Ajaz Patel who has picked up 10 wickets in this competition. Brad Schmulian has done a remarkable job for them with the bat, scoring 383 runs. Josh Clarkson and skipper Tom Bruce are a little short of runs in this format. Doug Bracewell who got a recent call-up for the Test squad against Sri Lanka has been included in the side for the summit clash. Dane Cleaver is the key player for them who averages 36.75 with the bat. With 6 wins, 3 losses, and no result they finished at the pole position in the standings with 30 points.
Canterbury Kings too has notable absentees for this significant game. Ish Sodhi, Chad Bowes, Tom Latham, Matt Henry, Henry Shipley and Henry Nicholls will be missing this game due to National commitments. The responsibilities of scoring runs will be on Leo Carter, Cole McConchie, and Cam Fletcher. Ed Nuttall and William O’Rourke will be their frontline bowlers. It’s been more than one month since they featured in the Preliminary final where they beat Otago Volts by massive 129 runs. It’s going to be a tough challenge for them to beat Central Stags who are a formidable side.
