Martin Guptill, Colin Munro, Glenn Phillips and Mark Chapman form a formidable top-order batting for Auckland Aces. The team should find itself in a strong position even if two of them get going and score the big runs. Guptill struck an unbeaten 71 against Central Stags and he looks set for another big knock. William Somerville, Lockie Ferguson and Matthew Quinn are the main threats in this bowling attack. Somerville was the standout performer with the ball in the last game with figures of 3-28 from four overs and the off-spinner could cause problems for Canterbury in this match. Ferguson and Quinn both took two wickets apiece and the pace duo will look to trouble the batsmen upfront.

The team will bank on Chad Bowes, Stephen Murdoch and Cam Fletcher to deliver the goods with the bat. Murdoch top-scored with a 33-ball 54 in the last game against Otago Volts and the team will want him to come up with a similar batting performance against Auckland. Fletcher looked solid in his knock of 22 and he is going to be their key man in the middle order. In terms of bowling, it will be up to Kyle Jamieson, Andrew Ellis and skipper Cole McConchie to do the job. McConchie was the most economical of all the bowlers last time and he will look to slip in some tight overs in the powerplay. Jamieson did take a couple of wickets but he conceded 40 runs in his four overs.

Auckland Aces begin as the bookmakers' favorites to win this Super Smash match and are being offered at odds of 1.57 on Betway, 1.61 on Bet365 and 1.62 on Betfair. Canterbury Kings are outsiders for this game at a higher price of 2.25 on Betway, 2.30 on Bet365 and 2.52 on Betfair.
Auckland Aces have the home advantage on their side but they will also be aware of the fact that they have lost three of their previous four completed matches here which could play on the back of their mind. However, they certainly have the upper hand when it comes to head-to-head record - they have lost to Canterbury Kings just 6 times out of 24 in the New Zealand domestic twenty20 tournaments and have beaten their opponents in each of the last five meetings. Auckland have a lot more firepower in their batting than Canterbury and we expect the home team to emerge victorious in this match.
Final Verdict: Back Auckland Aces to beat Canterbury Kings at 1.57 with Betway, 1.61 with Bet365 and 1.62 with Betfair.
