THE LOWDOWN

WELLINGTON FIREBIRDS

• Wellington Firebirds are looking for a positive response after their 100% record in this season’s Super Smash came to an end this past Wednesday at the hands of Northern Brave.
• Despite playing at home, Wellington struggled with the bat, posting just 136/8 from their 20 overs, which was ultimately too small a score for them to defend against a strong Brave side, who triumphed by six wickets.

CENTRAL STAGS

• An impressive four wicket win for Central Stags against Auckland Aces was their third win in a row and momentum is in their favour coming into this match.
• The experience of Ross Taylor came up clutch for the Stags on Thursday, the veteran batter striking a calm unbeaten half-century to guide his team home to their victory target of 151 with three balls remaining.

THE PREDICTION

These two teams have already locked horns in this season’s Super Smash, Wellington Firebirds coming out on top by 2 runs in a nail-biting encounter which saw both sides rack up over 200 runs. However, Central Stags are in a great position to gain revenge this time round. Performances have been consistently strong and their recent winning run will have done wonders for confidence among the players. Expect another close, hard-fought battle, but consider backing the Stags to get over the line on this occasion.
