Northern Knights, the defending champions, will face Canterbury Kings, the finalist from last year, in this first Super Smash 2022-23 game. During the league stage, both teams had performed well, finishing 1 and 2 on the points table, respectively. Both teams will try to get off to a winning start this season because they have talented players.
The Northern Knights’ record against the Canterbury Kings is excellent. They have won four of the last five meetings between the two teams. The Knights have a winning record when they play at their home stadium. The Canterbury Kings’ ability to end their four-game losing streak against the Knights remains to be seen. Mark Adair will attempt to begin where they left off last year. The team is looking to continue its nine-game winning streak in this game.
