Henry Nicholls scored 113 for Canterbury in the record-breaking Ford Trophy victory over the Auckland Aces.
Black Caps batsman Henry Nicholls has guided Canterbury to a critical Ford Trophy win with a classy century, scoring more than the Auckland Aces could muster in their run chase. Canterbury s 216 run victory – the biggest in Ford Trophy history – cements its spot as the first side to qualify for the playoffs and in the box seat to host them. Nicholls, who notched his sixth List A century and fifth in the Ford Trophy, opened the batting after Auckland won the toss and sent the home side in at Rangiora, a move that skipper Robbie O Donnell would have quickly regretted.
