AUCK vs CANT Match Prediction & Analysis
With only three rounds of the Plunket Shield left, this is the time of the tournament where teams drop out of contention for a top two place and others solidify their claims.
Auckland are pretty much out of the running for a top two finish but they will hope that a big win in this game and other results going their way could keep them in the hunt.
For Canterbury, their win in the last round has kept them within 20 points of the top of the table and they will think that a clash against the bottom side provides the perfect opportunity to close the gap.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Auckland Aces Preview
In spite of not making the highest total of the match, Auckland finally got a win in this year's Plunkett Shield when they got the better of Central Districts in their last clash.
The pint-sized left-hander Mark Chapman was ultimately the match-winner with the bat after his second innings 83 runs from 68 balls and Auckland will be hoping he can bring his international class to this game as well.
With the ball, Ben Lister has impressed across all formats of late and took three wickets in both innings in the win over Central Districts.
Auckland Aces Predicted Playing XI:
William O'Donnell, Sean Solia, Mark Chapman, Robert O'Donnell (c), George Worker, Cam Fletcher (wk), Jock McKenzie, Danru Ferns, Louis Delport, Jordan Sussex, Ben Lister

Canterbury Kings Preview
Centuries from captain Cole McConchie (106) and keeper-batter Mitchell Hay (146) were enough to help Canterbury post a healthy first innings total and use that to win the game against Northern Districts in the last round of fixtures.
Canterbury are a pro-active team in the field, as seen by seven bowlers used when looking to force a result in the third innings of the game last time out and we can expect Cole McConchie to act in a similar way if necessary in this game.
They are up against an Auckland side who will now have some self-belief but Canterbury should be good enough to win again.
Canterbury Kings Predicted Playing XI:
Chad Bowes, Henry Nicholls, Rhys Mariu, Cole McConchie (c), Leo Carter, Mitchell Hay (wk), Michael Rippon, Zakary Foulkers, Angus McKenzie, Sean Davey, Michael Rae,

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The weather forecast is for high humidity throughout the four days of this match and possible rain on Days 1 and 3. It will be warm and there is every chance of the game going the distance.
AUCK vs CANT Pitch Report
With the overhead conditions, we can expect this pitch to offer plenty for the bowlers across all four days of this game. Whoever bats first will feel they are in the game even if they post a score of 250-260.
Toss: To Bat
Irrespective of the weather conditions, at this time of the season, pitches are starting to deteriorate in New Zealand and no side wants to be batting fourth! As a result we predict that both sides will want to bat first.
AUCK vs CANT
Winning Prediction
Although Auckland got a win in their last game, we expect to see Canterbury come out on top in this match which begins on Sunday. This Canterbury team have key batters and key bowlers in strong form and our prediction is for them to get the win over Auckland in this fixture.
We are backing Canterbury to win this match!
