­Auckland Aces vs Wellington Firebirds Prediction

Auckland Aces have generally fared well against Wellington Firebirds but they have not been able to beat them in three of their last four meetings. They do have the home advantage on their side but having lost three of their past four matches at this ground won't do their confidence much good. Wellington have a well-oiled bowling attack and they will fancy their chances here if they get rid of Auckland's top-order quickly. Both the teams have some really talented players in their side but considering Auckland's ordinary performances at home in recent times, we feel Wellington have a slightly better chance of winning this match.

Final Verdict: Back Wellington Firebirds to beat Auckland Aces.
