Wellington Firebirds vs Auckland Aces Expert Prediction
After securing just their second win of the season, Wellington Firebirds are in a position to kick on here, especially when taking into account the recent struggles of their opponents here. The Auckland Aces head into this game having lost their last three Super Smash games and as you so often see in these T20 tournaments, breaking out of these ruts can be difficult.
Wellington will look to force the issue on home territory and a batting performance like we saw against Otago should go a long way whether it be setting or chasing a target. Two of their last three have seen Auckland underperform with the bat and it would be no surprise if we saw the same again here. Back the Firebirds to triumph.
