Northern Knights are favorites to win
Thursday evening’s Super Smash fixture sees Northern Brave and Canterbury Kings go head to head at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui, Tauranga. Northern Brave have won their last two games, both against Auckland Aces and have ten points from four games. Canterbury Kings have played three and won two. Read on as we preview this match. The game begins at 18:40 local time.
Northern Brave have turned their campaign around with successive wins over Auckland Aces. Another victory in this game will see them move up into 2nd place.
Canterbury Kings lost their opening game of the season to Wellington Firebirds but have responded with victories over Central Stags and a re-match with the Kings. They are well placed for a successful season.

Northern Brave won the toss and chose to field first in their last game whereas Canterbury Kings decided to bat first in their last match. Whoever wins the toss, we predict that the Kings will bat first in this fixture.
The surface at the Bay Oval is often relatively flat with the bowlers having to work hard for their wickets. Expect the batters to struggle without pace on the ball.
Cloudy conditions with the temperature between 24 and 23 degrees during this game.

Freddy Walker came into the side with Scott Kuggeleijn ruled out due to illness ahead of the second win over Auckland Aces. Walker did more than enough with the ball and will keep his spot with Kuggeleijn expected to still be unavailable.
Northern Brave have won their last two games and are playing excellent cricket as they climb the Super Smash table.

The Kings have looked good in their last two games of Super Smash 2021 and we do not expect to see any changes for Cole McConchie’s team in this match. Todd Astle and Henry Shipley have both been bowling extremely economically with Matt Henry and Ed Nuttall picking up the wickets. There are no injury worries for the Kings.
The Kings have won two successive games and look well on track to reach the finals again this season.

After 29 contests, the sides are locked together on the same number of wins with only one game not producing a result.

Northern Brave are favourites to register a third straight victory in the competition.
Cole McConchie will be the only player on display who has already passed 100 runs in this season’s Super Smash campaign.
For Northern Knights, Tim Seifert, Jeet Raval and Katene Clarkel are our batting tips. Seifert played a sensible knock in the last game but is capable of playing far more aggressively when required.
Chad Bowes, Ken McClure and Cole McConchie are our picks with the bat for Canterbury Kings. McConchie has made 102 runs in the tournament but has hit only 10 boundaries.
Ish Sodhi, Anurag Verma and Freddy Walker are our tips with the ball for Northern Knights. Sodhi conceded only 1.75 runs per over in the last game.
Matt Henry, Ed Nuttall and Todd Astle are our tips with the ball for Canterbury Kings. Both Henry and Nuttall dismissed 3 batters each in the win over Wellington Firebirds.
This should be an excellent clash between two of the current form teams in the Super Smash. Northern Brave were not tipped to be flying high but a win in this game will see them go ahead of Central Stags at the top of the table. We are predicting another victory for Northern Brave.
