Will Auckland Aces Register their Third Win in a Row?
Northern Districts are set to clash with the Auckland Aces in the 10th fixture of the ongoing McDonald's Super Smash 2016-17. The match will be played on December 17 at the Seddon Park, Hamilton. Live action is scheduled to begin at 7:10 PM local time.
Toss
Four matches have been played at the Seddon Park since the previous season and three of them have been won by the team batting first. So the toss-winning captain might prefer to bat first here. Northern Districts ended up on the winning side the last two times they batted first at this ground, making them an enticing betting option if they bat first.

Northern Knights Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Northern Districts will be coming into this game with a clean slate as far as injuries are concerned. No changes are expected in their playing eleven.
Key Players
Skipper Dean Brownlie is the only batsman in the side to have hit a fifty so far. He is currently the leading run-getter of the season and we predict him to top-score against the Aces. Daryl Mitchell is topping the wickets column with five wickets and the seamer is likely to cause a few problems for the Aces.
Recent Form
Northern Districts have played three league matches so far. They won the first one against Wellington, the second had to be abandoned due to bad weather and they went down to Otago Volts in the third. They are currently placed third in the standings with six points.
Northern Districts Predicted XI
-
DG Brownlie (c), JF Carter, BJ Watling, CJ Anderson, MJ Santner, TL Seifert (wk), DJ Mitchell, SC Kuggeleijn, JJ Boult, ZN Gibson and IS Sodhi.
Auckland Aces Team News & Playing 11
Team News
Auckland Aces are unlikely to fiddle with their current combination that helped them win their first two fixtures. They will be going into this match full-strength.
Key Players
With back-to-back fifties, skipper Rob Nicol seems to be in great form and looks well set for another big contribution on Saturday. Mark Chapman is a key player with both the bat and the ball. The allrounder struck 76 runs against Otago Volts and also bagged a three-wicket haul in the last game against Canterbury Kings.
Recent Form
Auckland Aces have started their campaign with wins in their first two fixtures against the Otago Volts and Canterbury Kings respectively. With eight points, they are sitting comfortably as the number one team on the points table. Sunday's win was their fourth consecutive win in the tournament (including two from last season).
Auckland Aces Predicted XI
-
RJ Nicol (c), GD Phillips (wk), JA Raval, MS Chapman, SM Solia, BJ Horne, MJ Barry, DJ Grobbelaar, TS Nethula, MJ McClenaghan and TS Mills.
Districts vs Aces Head-to-Head
Northern Districts and Auckland Aces have played a total of 19 matches in the past. The latter have an edge here as they have won 11 of these matches while the former have won 7. The remaining one game resulted in a wash out. The Aces emerged victorious the last two times they took on the Districts.
Districts vs Aces Prediction
Auckland Aces have made an ideal start to the season winning their first two games while Northern Districts will be thinking about what went wrong for them in their previous match against Otago Volts. Besides a better head-to-head record, the Aces have taken down the Districts at this ground in their last two meetings, something which will give the former a psychological boost going into this match.
However, Northern Districts have played lot more at this ground than Auckland and the advantage of being more familiar with the conditions should definitely work in their favor. They won their last fixture here against Wellington and will be looking to replicate that performance on Saturday. But we feel it won't be easy for them to overcome Auckland Aces - a side that has been really hard to beat of late.
Final Verdict: We recommend betting on the Auckland Aces to win this match.
