AKL vs NK Betting Tips
- Experienced opener Martin Guptill hit 47 from 31 balls in Friday’s match and is our pick for Auckland Aces’ highest run scorer in this game. Lockie Ferguson is a top T20 player and he began the campaign with figures of 2-25 in the last game. He is a strong choice for Auckland Aces’ top wicket taker against Northern Brave.
- Joe Carter produced an eye-catching 75 not-out from 53 balls in Friday’s encounter. He hit 10 boundaries and is well worth backing as Northern Brave’s highest run scorer in this match. With the ball, both Scott Kuggleijn and Joe Walker took 4 wickets on Friday but we are tipping Trent Boult to be Northern Brave’s top wicket taker this time.
- Some had questioned whether Martin Guptill could still produce at the top level but we think he still has plenty to give in this format. He is our prediction for the Player of The Match Award

Auckland vs Northern Knights T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Super Smash 2021
Auckland Aces and Northern Brave meet for the second time in four days on Monday afternoon when they face off at the Kennards Hire Community Oval, Auckland. Northern Brave came out on top in Friday’s match between the sides, winning by 4 wickets and 1 ball remaining. The fixture was Auckland Aces first game of the tournament. Read on as we preview this match. The game begins at 14:40 local time.
The Aces are already playing catch-up after missing the opening rounds of games and falling to defeat in their first match. They have plenty of talent and will be confident of registering a win in this match.
Northern Brave got their first win of the tournament in the reverse fixture and have shot up the table to second. They will need to raise their game again though if they are to defeat Auckland in home territory.

Auckland Aces Team News & Playing 11
AUK Team News
When the Aces have all their international players available, on paper they look like one of the strongest sides in the competition. However, they still need to get that all important first win. They will have benefited from getting their first game under their belt and we expect to see the same XI in this match.
AUK Key Players
- Martin Guptill- the big hitting opener struck 2 sixes and 4 fours in his 47 on Friday. He has the ability to win a game on his own inside the first 10 overs of an innings.
- Mark Chapman- the former Hong Kong and now New Zealand international is a very handy all-rounder. He picked up a wicket and hit 22 in Friday’s defeat.
- Lockie Fergsuon- the pace bowler is often to be found as one of the most sought after names during T20 auctions. It was no surprise to see him dismiss two of Northern Brave’s top three in the last match,
AUK Team Form
Auckland Aces have lost back to back games in the Super Smash but should get back to winning ways very soon.

Northern Knights Team News & Playing 11
NK Team News
After a slow start to the Super Smash 2021 season, Northern Brave suddenly appear like a strong force. Their bowling attack was particularly impressive in the reverse fixture with two of the attack taking 4 wickets each. We expect Jeet Raval to lead out an unchanged side to attempt a back to back win.
NK Key Players
- Joe Carter- the experienced right-handed middle order batter rescued his side from 26-3 and took them all the way to victory on Friday.
- Ish Sodhi- the international leg-spinner did not set the world cup alight earlier this autumn but he will be a threat on this Auckland wicket.
- Trent Boult- the left-arm quick is a world class performer at the start and end of the opposition innings. He was wicketless in the last game but conceded only 19 runs from 4 overs.
NK Team Form
Brave needed a win in their last game and the victory duly arrived. Another win in this match will see them close in on Central Stags at the top of the table.
Northern Knights Predicted Playing 11
Katene Clarke, Tim Seifert (wk), Jeet Raval (c), Joe Carter, Colin de Grandhomme, Henry Cooper, Scott Kuggeleijn, Anurag Verma, Ish Sodhi, Joe Walker, Trent Boult
