This should be a tight game, but we think Canterbury Kings have just enough to get over the line.

They also have the upper hand over Auckland Aces, winning 16 of the 26 meetings between the two sides that produced a result.

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 265, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.
