Central Stags are favorites to win
Central Stags will be up against the Auckland Aces in the 8th match of the Super Smash 2023. The match will be played at Pukekura Park, New Plymouth and will start at 8:30 AM IST on December 29.
Central Stags have played two matches in the Super Smash 2023-2024 so far, both against Northern Knights. They registered a massive 55 run defeat in the first game but bounced back to bag a 56 run victory in the next game.
Meanwhile, Auckland Aces won the first game against Canterbury by 28 runs before their second game against Wellington was washed out due to rain, It is very competitive tournament thus both teams would like to take a lead early in the tournament. A defeat would not be good for either of the team.
TV channels: Star Sports has the broadcast rights of Super Smash and fans can watch the matches on Star Sports Network.
Live Streaming: You can live-stream the match on Hotstar and Website.
Chasing has been preferred by captains so far and once again captain winning the toss should bowl first.
The pitch will help the bowlers early but it will settle down to become a very good batting surface. A score of 170 should be a good one to defend.
The weather is likely to play spoilsport as there are over 85 per cent chances of rain.

The bookies are backing Central Stags to win. Aces will be missing some of their key players which has given a big advantage to the Stags.
We suggest backing Central Stags to win. Auckland will be without the services of their key players and at this moment, Stags look a much stronger team.
Stags will rest hopes on Dane Cleaver and Will Young, the two best batters in the team at the moment. Also, Tom Bruce had a great run last year and will be looking for a good outing in next game.
Sean Solia, Robert O’Donnell and Martin Guptill will be key batters. Robert scored a fifty in the first game. Sean is also a very handy batter in the team and brings in a lot of stability in the batting. Guptill, we all know about his match-winning skills.
Central Stags’ bowling will rest on Blair Tickner, Jayden Lennox and Ajaz Patel. Lennox has been brilliant so far, taking six wickets while Patel can also be handy with his left arm spin. Blair Tickner bowled well in first game and took 2 wickets.
Auckland’s bowling will rest on Ben Lister, Danru Ferns and Sean Solia. Lister and Ferns had a great outing in first game and shared five wickets between them. Also, Sean is a very good option with the ball.
Central Stags will fancy winning against a depleted Auckland who will miss the services of key players like James Neesham and Finn Allen. Stags look a much more balanced unit, with depth in batting and quality bowling options. We are backing Central Stags to win.
