Bet NowSuper Smash League has come to the business end and this will be the last league game before heading into the knockouts. Wellington have qualified directly for the finals after finishing at the top of the points table comfortably with one match to go. Auckland was the first team to bow out of the tournament losing their first 6 matches on a trot. Wellington will look to have some much needed match practice ahead of the finals while Auckland will look to end the season on a high. We can expect both teams to give a good fight in this match despite being a dead rubber.
Auckland posted a massive total of 183 runs in the last game despite no player crossing the 40-run mark. William O Donnell (40 runs), Solia (27 runs), and Mark Chapman (36 runs) played good cameos and build a good platform at the top. Kyle Jamieson and Robert o Donell scored quick fire 20+ runs to finish the innings with a flourish.
Their bowling unit wreaked havoc as they bundled out the opposition for 80 runs to win the match comfortably by 103 runs. Jamieson was the pick of the bowlers with 3 wickets while Ter Braak and Somerville chipped in with 2 wickets each. All five bowlers used had a wicket to their name in the last game.
Top players to bet on:
Robert o Donnell – Robert has scored 234 runs at a strike rate of 156 this season. He is providing the perfect finishing knock for the team to end the innings on a high with an additional 10-15 runs.
Kyle Jamieson – Jamieson had an all-round match last night with bowling figures of 3.3-0-18-3 & a quick fire 12-ball 21 runs at the end with the bat. He is one of the most talked about Kiwi cricketer in the last year.

Wellington made a short work of the 170-run chase in the last game against Central Districts as their openers Finn Allen (66 runs) and Devon Conway (69 runs) sealed the match with their 107-run opening partnership. Blundell looked good for his 13-ball 24 run knock in the match.
Van Beek picked up 3 wickets in the match. Ben Sears and Doug Bracewell were excellent with the ball as they picked up one wicket each and gave runs at less than 6 RPO ion their overs. Hamish Bennett, Young Husband, and Jamie Gibson went for runs at over 10 RPO in the last game.
Top players to bet on:
Finn Allen – Allen leads the batting charts with 423 runs at a massive strike rate of 194 with 5 fifties to his name in just 9 matches. He will look to finish the season with more runs to his name to help his team win the title.
Ben Sears – Sears had bowling figures of 4-1-18-1 in the last game and he is tying up one end in the middle overs with his accurate line and lengths. He has taken 9 wickets at an economy rate of just over 6 RPO in this season.

Auckland has dark and cloudy conditions on the match day but has very less to no chances of rain as per the weather forecasters. We expect no interruptions in this match due to rain.
Auckland is a good batting track with smaller boundary dimensions. It is a graveyard for the bowlers. We expect a run feast with the scores to be around 180-200 runs in this match.
No score is safe ta this venue and we expect both captains to chase down the total at this venue.
Wellington are having a dream tournament with 8 wins in 9 matches and are on a roll in both batting and bowling departments. Wellington openers feature in the top-5 run scorers of the season and are leading from the front. They have bowling attack with 4-5 players performing in every match. Auckland has hit the straps in the last few matches with 2 wins in 3 matches after 6 losses on a trot. They will look to play freely with no pressure and finish the season with a victory. We expect Wellington to win this match as they have form and momentum on their side.
Wellington will win the match
