PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
There are chances of rain at Auckland, which might assist the bowlers in what is otherwise an excellent batting surface. Batsmen can play on the up after seeing off the first few overs. The side that bats first in this game shall target a score over 170 runs.
AUCK vs CANT Pitch Report
Eden Park Outer Oval assists the bowlers at the start of the game. But the ball comes onto the bat nicely, allowing the batsmen to play their strokes. The shorter boundaries are a big bonus for the batsmen, but the dimensions make it a challenging surface for the spinners.
Toss: To Bowl
It will be the first game on this ground in a long time, and there will be some juice on the surface for the bowlers early on in the game. Both captains will consider it at the toss, and the side winning would look to bowl first and dismiss the opposition for a small total.
AUCK vs CANT
Winning Prediction
Auckland Aces played poorly last season. They will miss some of their most experienced players representing the country. The Canterbury Kings have a good record at this venue and a strong batting line-up. It would be a close game, but the Kings would start nose ahead here.
