TEAMS PREVIEW
Auckland Aces Preview
While the Auckland Aces can complain about starting the tournament with two abandoned games, in the next three games they have managed just one win. In fact, Auckland Aces were lucky to have the abandoned games against two of the strongest teams in the tournament so far, Otago Volts and Northern Brave.
After the two washouts, Auckland Aces played two consecutive games against Canterbury Kings. They won the first game by 13 runs but lost the second one by 41 runs. In the second game against the Kings, Auckland Aces bowled first and conceded 173 runs in 20 overs. Danru Ferns took three wickets for 27 runs in 4 overs. The chase proved to be a disaster as Auckland Aces were restricted to 132 for 9 in 20 overs.
In their previous game against Northern Brave, Auckland Aces batted first and scored 187 for five in 20 overs - thanks mainly to Bevan Jacobs who, batting at No. 5, scored unbeaten 90 runs of 56 balls with 8 fours and 4 sixes. The Auckland Aces, however, failed to defend such a big score and lost the game by 5 wickets with 5 balls remaining. Jock McKenzie was the peak of the bowler with 3 wickets for 33 runs in 4 overs. With only one win under their belt so far in the tournament, Auckland Aces will have to up their game to defeat Central Stags.

Central Stags Preview
Unlike Auckland Aces, Central Stags have played five games with outright results so far in Super Smash 2024-25. With the Aces underperforming and the Stags having a great head-to-head record (4-0) in the last five games against the Aces, Central Stags should feel confident to defeat the Auckland Aces and get to their fourth victory of the season in this game.
Central Stats started the season with a win against Otago Wolves by 7 wickets. Blair Tickner took 3 wickets in that game and Will Young scored a valuable 50. Central Spags lost the next game by a small margin of 11 runs against Wellington Firebirds. They came back strongly against Northern Districts in the next game to a huge victory by 64 runs.
Batting first Against Northern Brave, Central Stags scored a mammoth 195 runs, losing just five wickets. Tom Bruce, the captain, was the top scorer with 64 runs. In defense, they bundled out Northern Brave for just 131 runs. Jayden Lennox and Britt Randall shared five wickets among them.
Central Stats managed yet another win by six wickets against Wellington Firebird in their fourth game. They chased down a big total of 193 with six wickets to spare thanks to Jack Boyle’s 77 runs off 43 balls with 6 fours and 4 sixes, batting at the top of the order. Despite losing the previous game against Otago Holds, Central Stags look much better placed to defeat Auckland Aces in this game.
