Auckland Aces go into this game as slight favourites, and we expect them to win it.

Auckland Aces come in with the better form, having won three of their last three games, while Canterbury Kings have won one of their last three. That said, Canterbury Kings lead the head-to-head record 16-10, which is why this is far from a sure thing.

The toss could matter here. Chasing has been the better option at this ground, so the captain who calls right may well choose to bowl first. We expect a first-innings score of around 260, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.
