THE LOWDOWN
AUCKLAND ACES
- Auckland Aces have picked up just two points from their last three game after losing twice either side of a tied match against Otago Volts, making this encounter a vital one for them.
- The Aces can at least take heart from their recent bowling performance against Central Stags, albeit in a losing effort with all six bowlers utilised picking up at least one wicket.
CANTERBURY KINGS
- Canterbury Kings’ form has fallen off a cliff following that win over Northern Brave in their opening game, with them since losing their last three Super Smash fixtures.
- It has been a matter of inconsistency for the Kings, who have struggled to put together a complete performance since their opening game, coming up short with either bat or ball.
THE PREDICTION
With both teams having struggled of late, this is a tough match to call. If Auckland Aces can replicate their bowling performance as a unit vs the Stags, but increase their effectiveness with the bat, then they stand a good chance of a positive result, whilst Canterbury Kings themselves need to be more efficient from a batting perspective. With home advantage in Auckland’s favour though, backing them to edge this one has to be favoured.
