Canterbury Kings Team News & Playing 11
Canterbury Kings have lost their two key batsmen in Tom Latham and Henry Nicholls to international duty which means the onus will now be on the likes of Chad Bowes, Cole McConchie, Andrew Ellis and Cam Fletcher to score the runs. McConchie is one of the leading run-scorers this Super Smash season with 221 runs. He scored 83 against Wellington Firebirds, struck an unbeaten 47 in the reverse fixture and is coming off a 25-ball 48 against the Central Stags. Bowes has chipped in with handy contributions and it will be crucial that he takes Canterbury off to a decent start. In terms of bowling, the team will bank on their pacers Kyle Jamieson, Andrew Ellis and Ed Nuttall to deliver the goods. Jamieson has been their most reliable bowler. He is currently topping the wickets charts with 14 wickets in 7 matches. The fast bowler claimed a record-breaking 6-7 last time against Auckland and he will look to replicate that performance here.

Auckland Aces Team News & Playing 11
Auckland's top-order clicked in the last game against Otago Volts with Craig Cachopa knocking 73 runs off just 38 balls. The skipper has been the team's most consistent performer with the bat and he holds the key to their batting in the absence of Martin Guptill who is currently in the New Zealand ODI squad. Mark Chapman and Glenn Phillips are two other batsmen in this line-up with the potential of playing the big innings. Matthew Quinn, Mitchell McClenaghan and Ronnie Hira bagged two wickets apiece against Otago and they will be the ones to watch out for when it comes to bowling. McClenaghan is the tournament's second-best bowler with 11 wickets in five matches and he even took a three-wicket haul in the reverse encounter against the Canterbury Kings. The fast bowler seems to be in good rhythm at the moment and he could cause problems for Canterbury once again.

Canterbury Kings vs Auckland Aces Betting Odds

🏆 Canterbury Kings vs Auckland Aces Prediction
Canterbury Kings have had a very disappointing Super Smash season so far and they are languishing at the bottom of the table with six defeats from seven matches. There is a lot of pressure on them as they are standing on the brink of elimination. However, their victory over Auckland earlier in the season might give them some confidence heading into this game. Auckland, on the other hand, have started to look good and are clawing their way back into the tournament. They are coming on the back of two consecutive wins and will be carrying plenty of momentum with them. Moreover, Canterbury will miss the services of Tom Latham, Henry Nicholls and Matt Henry who are all away on international duties which means there will be plenty of inexperience in the side. Auckland Aces had faced defeat in the reverse encounter and we expect them to exact their revenge in this round 2 clash.
Final Verdict: Back Auckland Aces to beat Canterbury Kings at 1.80 with Bet365 and 1.73 with Betfair.
