Match Prediction & Tips
The stats for this game strongly point to a Wellington Firebirds win. They are topping the table and have only lost one game some far in the Super Slam.
You cannot go against that form in T20 cricket as we have seen in many tournaments. Any team in this form should be taken very seriously when selecting the match winner!
Auckland Ace’s form has improved dramatically in the last 3 matches but this will be a step too far for them. They do not possess the quality in their bowling attack to stop the Firebirds from getting or chasing, a big score here.
It has come to the point in the Super Smash that the Ace’s have nothing to play for. Qualification for the knock-out stages is not possible anymore and they are just playing for pride now.
Match Result: Wellington to win.
We are expecting this to be a comfortable win.
