Auckland vs Central Stags, Super Smash 2020-21
Auckland will take on Central Stags in the 21st match of the Super Smash. The match will be played on the Eden Park Outer Oval and is set to begin at 3:10 PM local time.
Even after 6 matches, Auckland are yet to win a game in the tournament. They do have a pretty decent team but their players have not lived up to the expectation.
Martin Guptil, Sean Solia, William O Donnell, Robert O Donnell forms a quality batting line up. The problem is that they’ve not performed collectively. As a result, they’ve been short of runs in every game.
In the bowling department, William Somerville has been outstanding but other bowlers have been pretty expensive.
For Central Stags, they’re flying high with 5 wins and 2 losses and are settled at the second spot in the points table.
George Worker, Will Young, Ross Taylor, Josh Clarkson have been in fine form. Tom Bruce and Dough Bracewell are also capable of hitting some lusty blows.
As a bowling unit, they’re doing exceptionally well with Blair Tickner, Doug Bracewell, Azaj Patel, Josh Clarkson in good form.
Overall, Central Stags have much more quality in their team and are the favorites for the match.
