Can Canterbury Hold Off Auckland at their Home Ground?

Auckland Aces and Canterbury Kings will be going head-to-head in the 13th match of the ongoing McDonald's Super Smash 2016-17. Eden Park No 2, Auckland will be the setting for this fixture to be played on December 18. Live action starts at 4 PM local time. Canterbury will be facing Wellington while Auckland will be up against Northern Districts before coming into this match.

Toss

In the last six matches played at the Eden Park, the side batting first has won five times. Therefore, toss will have an important role to play in this match and the team that wins it is more likely to bat first. Betting on Auckland if they bat first will be a smart move as they have won four of their last five games at this ground batting first.

Auckland Aces Team News & Playing 11

Team News

No player in the team has been reported to be suffering from injury and it is very unlikely that they will be making any changes for this match.

Key Players

Auckland Aces will be relying on Glenn Phillips and Mark Chapman to score the big runs fro them. Phillips struck a run-a-ball 50 in the reverse fixture and we predict him to make a major contribution in this match. Chapman will be relied upon with the ball as well. Canterbury were very uncomfortable against him last time and they will look to be cautious when they face him again on Sunday.

Recent Form

Auckland Aces have played two league games so far (excluding the one against Northern Districts to be played on December 17) and have won both of them. They are looking equally strong with both the bat and the ball in this season as well.

Auckland Predicted XI

  • RJ Nicol (c), GD Phillips (wk), JA Raval, MS Chapman, SM Solia, BJ Horne, MJ Barry, DJ Grobbelaar, TS Nethula, MJ McClenaghan and TS Mills.

Canterbury Kings Team News & Playing 11

Team News

Canterbury Kings are coming into this game with a clean bill of health with all their players match-fit. No changes are expected to take place in their playing eleven.

Key Players

The onus will be on opener Tom Latham to provide Canterbury a brisk start while Henry Nicholls who is their leading run-scorer will be their key batsman in the middle order. For taking wickets, the team will look to Andrew Ellis who has been the pick of their bowling lineup so far. We predict the pacer to finish with the best bowling figures against Auckland Aces.

Recent Form

Canterbury Kings are yet to play Wellington on December 16. They have played three matches prior to this and while they lost the first two, they tied the third against Wellington at their home ground. However, they did manage to secure four points by winning the super over.

Canterbury Predicted XI

  • TWM Latham, CD Fletcher (wk), CJ Bowes, PG Fulton, HM Nicholls, AM Ellis (c), TG Johnston, TD Astle, BW Hilfenhaus, JTA Benton and EJ Nuttall.

 

Auckland vs Canterbury Head-to-Head

Auckland Aces have emerged winners 13 out of the 21 times they have faced Canterbury Kings in the past. The latter have won on six occasions while the remaining two matches have resulted in a tie. The two teams met last Sunday on Canterbury's home ground where Auckland won the match by six wickets.

Auckland vs Canterbury Prediction

Canterbury Kings finally got to taste victory after going down in their first couple of games. Though their victory was achieved by virtue of a great effort in the super over, it should still instill some confidence in the side ahead of this match. They will be facing Wellington again on Friday and a win here will really lift the team up. 

Canterbury have the requisite firepower to take down any side in the tournament but they will have to perform well as a unit when they take on the Auckland Aces on a ground where they have been very tough to beat in recent times. Auckland have beaten Canterbury in five of their previous six face-offs as well as the last three times at this ground.

Final Verdict: We recommend betting on the Auckland Aces to win this match.
