Northern Knights Team News & Playing 11
Except skipper Dean Brownlie who scored 25, the entire top-order failed to click against Wellington Firebirds. The Knights will hope for a much improved performance against Auckland Aces and for this, Anton Devcich, Daryl Mitchell and the skipper himself will have to come good with the bat. Their bowling will depend mainly on Ish Sodhi and Brent Arnel who took two wickets each. Sodhi was also very economical at the same time and he will be backed by his team to put up another good show with the ball.

They eased past Central Districts score of 192, thanks to big contributions from Colin Munro, Glenn Phillips and Robert O'Donnell who struck an unbeaten 36-ball 54. Once again, the onus will be on the opening pair along with Mark Chapman to take the team off to a good start. Lockie Ferguson and Tarun Nethula took two wickets each and finished with reasonable economy rates. The Aces will turn to these two bowlers to do the job for them against the Knights.

Northern Knights vs Auckland Prediction
Auckland Aces are coming off a confidence-boosting win against the Central Districts while Northern Knights went down in their first game against Wellington Firebirds. While the Knights do have a good enough bowling attack, their batting do not instill much confidence. The Aces on the contrary are a well-rounded unit and they have the psychological edge of having beaten the Knights three times in their last four completed encounters. We thus predict Auckland Aces to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back Auckland Aces to beat Northern Knights.
