THE PREDICTION
Finding a winner between these two is likely to be difficult when taking into account the current weather forecast for Whangarei across the four scheduled days of play, which is a real shame because this has the makings of an excellent contest between the top two teams in the Plunket Shield table. Auckland Aces have maintained a perfect record over the course of the tournament so far, playing four and winning four, combining strong batting with potent bowling. Northern Districts would have their work cut out to match them and would likely need strong performances from the likes of Colin de Grandhomme. However, the weather is expected to win out here and force this encounter into a draw.
