Auckland Aces Betting Analysis

Auckland Aces can’t wholly rely on Martin Guptill to get the bulk of their runs. Help from other areas would be welcome, such as from Michael Sclanders who is batting at number three for the Aces. Sclanders top-scored last time out for Auckland, albeit in defeat and it’s well worth backing him to rack up an individual score of 20+ runs here via the ‘Batter Milestones’ market.

Northern Brave Betting Analysis

Experienced quick bowler Neil Wagner went wicketless in Northern Brave’s last game, a 64-run defeat. When considering Wagner’s knowledge of the game, he’ll already be looking at ways in which to bounce back at the first time of asking. With that in mind, it may be worth throwing your weight behind the left-arm pacer to take over 1.5 match wickets on this occasion.

Auckland Aces vs Northern Brave Expert Prediction

Rain could well end up scuppering this contest which would be a real shame for all involved. In the unlikely event that we do end up getting enough play in to find a result, then Auckland at home may hold all the aces. A team fired up after not doing themselves justice against Canterbury Kings, they may well bounce back by overcoming the Brave.
