Poor weather has already ed for two matches in this year's Super Smash and the organisers will be hoping that the next tranche of seven games sees no fixtures ended by the weather!
As a result, the tournament feels like it has been a little stop start so far. But with this game seeing two teams who have already won one match going head to head, we could be in for an entertaining match.
What's more, both sides will have their sights set on the upper end of the table where Auckland Aces currently sit. Central Stags and Northern Brave both have plenty of quality, the question is - who will come out on top?

Chasing 191 for victory against Wellington Firebirds, Central Stags lost two wickets in two balls during the second over of their innings and fell to 9/2. They were unable to fully recover from this start and even though opener Jack Boyle smashed an impressive four fours and four sixes in his 66 runs from 45 balls, the Firebirds came out on top.
With the bat, there were other impressive cameos from captain Tom Bruce (24 runs from 13 balls), Josh Clarkson (22 runs from 20 balls), William Clark (23 runs from 17 balls) and Angus Schaw (32 runs from 15 balls).
Schaw also stood out with the ball, picking up the key wicket of Tom Blundell in the opening over before finishing with figures of 3/25. Bruce will be looking for better returns from Blair Tickner and Jayden Lennox in this clash with Northern Brave.

Northern Brave come into this game full of confidence after their bowlers performed well against Wellington Firebirds before their batters chased down the target of 161 with six wickets and ten balls remaining.
And is there a better feel good moment for the dressing room than seeing your team win the game with a maximum?!
Northern Brave have depth across their batting and bowling with only England international Matthew Fisher going wicketless from their five-man attack in Match 5. Kristian Clarke (3/32) and Frederick Walker (2/23) were the pick in the win over the Firebirds.
With the bat, opener Joe Carter will stride to the crease full of self-belief after hitting 66 runs from 44 balls in the last game.

According to the forecast, it will be a cloudy and progressively more humid evening in Nelson on Monday. The temperature will fall from 19 degrees to 13 degrees across the game.
This is a good batting track, as seen by Wellington Firebirds posting 190/5 from their 20 overs in the last game here. We expect a par first innings total to be at least 180 in this match.
Match six and match seven were both won by the teams batting first so we expect that to be in the back of the mind of the captains at the toss. We predict that both skippers will choose to bat first.
Although both teams have already won one match in this campaign, it was Northern Brave's victory over Wellington Firebirds which caught the eye! They impressed with bat and ball so we are predicting another victory for Jeet Raval's side.
We are backing Northern Brave to win!
