We are here for NB vs. AA Today Match Prediction, Super Smash, Online Cricket Betting Tips, which will provide every user with a clear picture of which team and in what aspect they can place their bets.

Auckland Aces

Auckland Aces are in a strange situation even before playing the first match as teams have played 3 matches and the tournament is into its 2nd week but Auckland Aces are yet to play their first match which could be a blessing in disguise as they have seen the strength and weaknesses of the team in this new season.

 Auckland had a terrible experience last season as they finished 2nd last and only managed to win 2 games out of 10 games. Auckland has announced a strong squad for this match which includes stars like Martin Guptill, Lockie Ferguson, and Mark Chapman who are coming off an extended break after the series against India. They are looking really strong on paper this time around and will look to start the tournament on a high.

  • The Auckland Aces finished 5th last season.
  • Martin Guptill, Mark Chapman and Lockie Ferguson are named in squad for match
  • George Worker was tournament’s third highest run-scorer last season with 424 runs

Best Batsmen for Auckland Aces

  • Martin Guptill- 3299 runs at 136 strike rate 
  • George Worker- 3119 runs at 126 strike rate 
  • Mark Chapman- 1928 runs at 132 strike rate 

Top Bowlers for Auckland Aces

  • Lockie Ferguson- 95 wickets at 7.58 economy 
  • Danru Ferns– 11 wickets at 11.13 economy        
  • Louis Delport- 4 wickets at 8.34 economy  

Northern Brave

Northern Brave is not off to a good start as their first match was a washout and in the last match, they suffered heartbreak against Otago Volts. The Northern side finished 4th last season and nearly missed out on playoffs but if they lose this game also then they would find themselves in the same situation as last year. 

Northern Brave has an upper hand over Auckland Aces in the last couple of years and they last lost against them way back in Feb 2019. They have some experienced campaigners like Colin de Grandhomme, Scott Kuggeleijn, and Jeet Raval who are going to be available for the whole season which makes them a hot candidate on paper but needs to transfer it onto the cricket field.

  • Rain: 4%

Pitch Report

Hamilton ground has always been good for batting but its big dimensions sometimes work in the favor of bowlers especially during middle overs. Overcast conditions will give seamers a huge edge in powerplay overs and with moisture in pitch and strong wind, it would be a tough job for batters in first innings so teams might look to field first.

NB vs AA – Who will win the match, Today Match Prediction:

Auckland Aces is expected to win the match against Northern Brave

KhelTalk experts feel Auckland Aces will win against Northern Brave in this match. Auckland Aces finished 2nd last in the 2020-21 season but this time around, their squad has some serious firepower. They have signed George Worker who was Tournament’s 3rd highest run-scorer and on top of the T20 icons like Martin Guptill and Chapman are available for this match which makes them clear favorites.

In the bowling department also, they now have Lockie Ferguson but lacks any other strong name while Northern Brave is coming off a loss in the last game. Brave has some exciting players but has failed to perform so far and we bet on Auckland Aces to outdo them in this enthralling encounter.

Top Batsman from Auckland Aces – Martin Guptill (2.62 odds)

Martin Guptill is a T20 legend and with runs more than 4000 in this format, no one can question his ability to smack bowlers. Guptill is a far more dangerous batsman in home conditions as he enjoys bounce and pace from the wicket. He is coming off an excellent T20 series against India and will look to start this tournament with a powerful display as IPL auctions are also around the corner and franchises might look at him in this tournament. 

Top Batsman from Northern Brave – Katene Clarke (4.75 odds)

Katene Clarke is a young exciting prospect from New Zealand and was part of the 2018 Under-19 World Cup and since then he has come a long way. Clarke has made a name for himself in the Domestic circuit and is an integral part of the Northern Brave team. He was their best batsman last season and has again started the new season with a thumping performance against Otago Volts. He scored 49 runs in that match and was the lone warrior who successfully tackled Otago’s frightening attack.

Top Bowler from Auckland Aces- Lockie Ferguson (3.25)

Lockie Ferguson had a strange year so far as he had a good outing in The Hundred but got injured in IPL and was ruled out of T20 World Cup. He then made a comeback into Kiwi side and made a return against India but again injury haunted him. He is now back to full fitness and would love to get back into some action before New Zealand’s home season Kickstart. Ferguson has been an injury-prone candidate but still bowls fast which makes him an unbelievable asset for any team. He can give you good returns from this match.

Top Bowler from Northern Brave – Matthew Fisher (5.00)

Matthew Fisher is another product of the 2018 Under-19 Batch who has been making big in New Zealand’s domestic circuit. The right-arm fast bowler is only 22 years old but has emerged to be the leader of the peck despite having international players like Scott Kuggeleijn and Colin de Grandhomme. He was magnificent in the last match, taking 2 wickets and conceding only 21 runs. Fisher nearly took the game home but the last over’s blitz handed them defeat. He can be a real threat on this pitch.
