The team's batting is going to rely mainly on the top three in George Worker, Jesse Ryder and skipper Will Young. Worker scored a 38-ball 75 in the last game against Northern Knights and he will be expected to play another big knock here. Among the bowlers, it is Blair Tickner who looks to be the most threatening. The seamer is currently the second-leading wicket-taker in the tournament with ten wickets in five games.

While Central Districts are favorites to win this game on Betfair at extremely short odds of 1.12, they are the underdogs on Bet365 at 2, Betway at 2.05 and Unibet at 2.10. They are placed fifth on the points table with two wins and three defeats in five league matches.

Central Districts vs Auckland Aces Prediction
Auckland Aces defeated Central Districts when the two teams met earlier in the high-scoring opening game of the tournament. The Districts are coming off a five-wicket loss to Northern Knights in their last game and there will be more pressure on them as they are lagging behind on the points table. The Aces have the momentum with them as they won their last three completed fixtures in a row. So although Central Districts are playing on their home ground, we feel the in-form Auckland Aces are better placed to win.
Final Verdict: Back Auckland Aces to beat Central Districts at 1.80 on Bet365, 1.72 on Unibet and 1.75 each on 1xbet and betway.
