Auckland Aces Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Auckland Aces are ready to take on Wellington Firebirds, and none of the players have been reported to be injured after the previous match.
Key Players
Colin de Grandhomme batted very well in the team’s last match against Wellington and the team will be expecting him to repeat the performance in this match as well. Apart from him, Colin Munro, Rob Nicol, and Glenn Phillips have scored well for their team in the previous matches. The bowling side has also been performing well. Donovan Grobbelaar, Tymal Mills, and Tarun Nethula being the top wicket takers, the team has high hopes from them.
Recent Form
Auckland is currently the top team on the points table, with just one loss out of the 5 they’ve played so far. They lost their last match against Wellington and will be looking to take revenge in this match by taking the game away by a large margin, to stay at the top.
Auckland Predicted XI
-
Rob Nicol (c), Glenn Phillips (wk), Jeet Raval, Colin Munro, SM Solia, Mark Chapman, Tarun Nethula, Lockie Ferguson, Tymal Mills, Colin de Grandhomme, Donovan Grobbelaar.
Wellington Firebirds Team News & Playing 11
Team News
The team is not expected to make any major changes for this match against Auckland Aces as the squad played very well against Auckland in their last encounter.
Key Players
Wellington has a decent batting side who are capable of scoring big runs. Hamish Marshall, Michael Papps, Luke Ronchi, and Tom Blundell will be the key batsmen on whom the team can depend on to score well against Auckland. The bowling side has performed better than the batting side in this season and the players have taken a lot of important wickets for their team. Jade Dernbach, Luke Woodcock, Brent Arnel, and Anurag Verma are the top bowlers, with the others pitching in now and then.
Recent Form
Wellington has a good team and has given decent performances in this season, but they lack a certain consistency in their performances, due to which they’ve lost 4 out of the 5 games they’ve played so far. They won the last game against Auckland, and will hopefully take the momentum forward in their future matches.
Wellington Predicted XI
-
Hamish Marshall (c), Tom Blundell, Michael Papps, Grant Elliott, Luke Ronchi (wk), Matt Taylor, Michael Pollard, Luke Woodcock, Jeetan Patel, Anurag Verma, Brent Arnel.
Auckland vs Wellington Head To Head
Auckland have played against Wellington once in this season before, in their last match, where Wellington won. The two teams also played against each other twice in the last season, where they won one match each.
Auckland vs Wellington Prediction
Auckland may have lost the last match against Wellington, but they still have a far better track record in this season than Wellington. Both teams have good players but Wellington really need to push their players in order to extract more wins out of them.
Auckland are in a better form in comparison to Wellington and we predict them to win this match.
