Auckland Aces
After a shaky start to their campaign, Auckland Aces are back in the tournament with three back-to-back wins in a row. They are currently placed in the 4th spot on the points table with 12 points and have three recent wins in five games. They faced Otago in their previous match where after electing to bat first Otago posted a total of 129 Runs on board.
The Aces bowlers were on point with their deliveries led their main man by Lockie Ferguson who went on to pick four scalps while conceding just 19 runs in his four overs. In return, Aces successfully chased down the target in 17 overs with the support of half-centuries from George Worker and Mark Chapman who found their natural form.
Aces are in a strong position at the moment as their as they made a solid comeback after losing their first two games and winning the next three in a row. They would certainly be beaming up with confidence and would certainly use this against Canterbury in this contest.

Canterbury Kings
Canterbury Kings are placed on the second spot in the points table with four wins and two losses. They will be heading into this match with a recent win against Central Stags to back them up.

Batting first, the Stags posted a massive total of 217Runs on the board, thanks to contributions from their kipper, Tom Bruce. The King’s batters then stepped up in the second innings to chase down the total successfully with 5 Wickets remaining. Leo Carter scored a half-century while a quickfire from Cam Fletcher (48*off 21) helped them seal the win. They will be hoping to repeat their performance in their upcoming fixture against the Aces.

AA vs CK, 22nd Match, Who will win the match, Today Match Prediction
Auckland Aces are expected to win against Canterbury Kings.
With recent three wins to back them up, Aces are probably the favorites to win this match against Canterbury Kings. Though the Kings have a deep-seated batting line-up with the likes of their skipper, Mc Conchie, Leo Carter, Chad Bowes, they are overly dependent on their key batters. When these three fail to perform on any given day their whole batting order collapses.
Canterbury needs to work on their bowling department as well as they gave away plenty of runs in the last match against the Stags. Playing on their home turf will be an added advantage for Auckland.
Popular Betting Odds for AA vs CK, 22nd Match, Today Match Prediction, Cricket Betting Tips
Top Batsman for Auckland Aces- Martin Guptill (3.10)
Guptill played a splendid knock in the last match against Central Stags scoring unbeaten 79 Runs in 58 balls. He is the second leading run-scorer for the Aces with 135 Runs in 5 matches. With age on his side, he brings experience to the team and contributes with his excellent fielding to put a stoppage on runs. He is a player that cannot be missed and is expected to give good returns.
Top Batsmen for Canterbury Kings- Chad Bowes (3.60)
Bowes played a splendid knock in a previous match against Otago hammering a half-century in 32 deliveries while hammering 28 Runs with a strike rate close to 215 in the last match against Stags. He is currently the leading run-scorer for Canterbury after contributing 157 runs in 6 Matches with a high score of 62 Runs. The 29 year old South African has scored 1792 Runs in 68 matches and has risen on many occasions before to score for his side in many games.
Top Bowler for Auckland Aces- Adithya Ashok (4.33)
The 19-year-old has immense potential that he showcased in a previous match against Wellington (3/8). He took a scalp in the last match against the Central Stags while conceding 24 runs. He has amassed 90 Runs in 5 matches and 6 wickets in the tournament. With age by his side, he still has a long journey to go with the Aces and we can expect some promising performances in the upcoming fixtures.
Top Bowler for Canterbury Kings- Ed Nuttall (3.75)
Canterbury’s leading wicket-taker, Ed Nuttall was exceptional with the ball in the last season as well. He is continuing with his lethal form this season as well and is currently the second leading wicket-taker in the tournament. Nuttall has bagged 11 Wickets in 6 games with a 9.29 economy rate. While he proved to be very expensive in the last match against Stags failing to bag a single scalp while conceding 54 runs, he will be looking for a comeback in this fixture.
