Standing second in the score table of Super Smash league 2019 as of now, Central districts has won both its matches.

George Worker and Christian Leopard are yet to exhibit their complete finesse while the bowling end seems stable with star bowler AY Patel, Wheeler and Tickner.
Kieran Noema Barnett: This all rounder has etched his name into the horror books of the opponent. He clinched 3 wickets in 2 overs and gave out 10 runs in the first outing against the Knights followed by 2 wickets in the next match. His bat has been making high roars with his remarkable contribution of runs to the total team score.

Tom Bruce: Giving a perfect balance with his wise decisions and adding runs to the scoreboard makes him vital for the team. His batting style is one of a kid and he can stifle the bowlers well.
As the statistics depict, the Central Districts seem unstoppable and will step out to register a hat-trick of wins in the Super Smash.

| BATSMEN | ALL ROUNDER | WICKET KEEPER | BOWLER |

| Joe Carter | Daryl Mitchell | Dane Cleaver | Ben Wheeler |
| Tom Bruce | Kieran Noema-Barnett (VC) | Ajaz Patel |
There hasn't been much might in the batting unit of Knights, resulting in small set of runs made by the top order comprising of Tim Seifert, Anton Devcich, and skipper Dean Brownlie. However, the bowling segment consisting of Anurag Verma (3/31) and Daryl Mitchell (4/32) made the batsmen fall flat in the previous match. The team will look up-to them to exhibit their destructive bowling at Hamilton as well. The total of 155 against Otago had major contributions from Joe Carter (55) and Brett Hampton (52). The team needs to up its batsmen if it intends to make the Central collapse in the upcoming match.
D Mitchell: The last match against Otago had this all-rounder grabbing eye balls with his bowling as he fetched 4 wickets in his 4 overs with an economy rate of 8.00 RPO. He can be a devastating force for the team, if he persists with his style and pace.
Anurag Verma: Another bowler who made the batsmen fall out of place with his 3 wickets in 4 overs. He is a force to reckon with and can turn the table for the team at Hamilton.
The recent form of the Knights is a blend of sweet and sour takings. While top order batsmen failed to keep up to the high expectations, it is the middle order that is keeping the boat sail across. The bowling segment is only keeping the hopes high for the team and since the team will look on to make its first win in he league, the match is a vital one.
