Auckland Aces were well beaten by Wellington Firebirds in their last match with only William Xomerville and Lockie Ferguson picking up wickets with the ball and none of the batters making a half-century. They have no injuries or players unavailable for this match.
Auckland Aces have fallen away with only one win from their last four games.

The Stags are in poor form and will be pleased to see the end of this season’s Super Smash. Scoring runs has not been an issue but keeping a lid on the opposition team’s run rate has been their achilles heel. As with previous games, the pressure will be on Ben Smith and Dane Cleaver to contribute the runs for the side.
Central Stags have not won in the Super Smash 2021-22 since December 18 when they beat bottom of the table Otago Volts.
Ben Smith, Mason Hughes, Dane Cleaver (wk), Ma’ara Ave, Tom Bruce (c), Josh Clarkson, Doug Bracewell, Ajaz Patel, Seth Rance, Blair Tickner, Jayden Lennox
Auckland Aces have had the edge over Central Stags throughout the Super Smash era.
