THE PREDICTION

Central Stags have a tall order ahead of them in Napier as they face off against league leaders Auckland, who incredibly remain unbeaten throughout this season’s Plunket Shield so far. Auckland’s most recent match saw them dispatch Wellington by ten wickets, putting together a complete performance with both bat and ball. A similar showing in this one would likely prove far too strong for Central Stags to handle, who also come into this contest with less rest time. Back Auckland to make it six league wins this campaign.
