They have both played the three matches apiece and both of Northern Knights and Auckland Aces make a foray into the fray of today’s encounter with 0 wins in between them. Marred by rain and mulled by their opponents, both of our sides of the day have been in atrocious form, one they both need to wrench out of at the earliest if they are to have any chances of challenging for the prestigious trophy.
While inclement weather has done both of these sides no favours to truncate three matches in between the two sides, both these sides haven’t helped themselves either this season. Their performances in the chances they have got out in the middle have been abysmal, appalling and abject resulting in an atrocious set of events unravelling for either side.
Placed in the bottom of the points tally with the two defeats from three encounters, Northern Knights are making an advent into this one having been thumped by 43 runs by Otago Volts. As the side stumbled their way to a contentious defeat, the performance was a telling one of their plight this season with the side handsomely outplayed in every department of the game on the day.
They allowed their opponents to put on 198 on the scoreboard while managing to muster up a mere 155 in reply, a performance the side know they need to overhaul at the earliest. Elsewhere, Auckland Aces sit in fourth spot with the one defeat and two abandoned matches with their previous encounter against Otago Volts falling prey to lashing and lambasting widespread rainfall.
Pitch Conditions And Toss
The bygone clash played over here showed just how fine a wicket this is for the bats and today looks set to be the same with this as hard, brown and completely devoid a surface as any they get for the batsmen. The team winning the toss will be looking to step out and pile on a behemoth of a score, one which makes for an extremely abject viewing for the chasing side.
