Auckland Aces Preview

Auckland Aces have had a strong start to the Ford Trophy, winning four out of their five matches. Their only loss came against Wellington, but they quickly recovered with a three-game winning streak.

William O’Donnell has also been consistent, scoring 194 runs at an average of 39. Cam Fletcher has provided valuable support with the bat, adding 121 runs to the team's total. 

Meanwhile, James Neesham has been the leading bowler, taking 8 wickets in four innings at an economical rate of 3.25. Although Lockie Ferguson is unavailable, the Aces have other capable bowlers like Simon Keene, Louis Delport, and Adithya Ashok who are ready to step up.

Central Stags Preview

Central Stags are going through a challenging stretch this season, with three losses against just one victory. While they’ve shown glimpses of promise, the team hasn’t quite managed to string together consistent wins. The upcoming phase of the season presents an opportunity for the Stags to reset and reclaim their form.

Curtis Heaphy stands out as their most promising batter, topping the batting charts with 276 runs in five innings and an impressive average of 69. Brad Schmulian has also been solid, contributing 246 runs over five matches, and will look to stabilize the batting lineup. Jack Boyle, who’s scored 238 runs in five appearances, adds another layer of strength to the middle order and could deliver crucial runs when needed.

In terms of bowling, Blair Tickner has proven reliable, claiming 11 wickets in four outings while maintaining an economy rate of 5.50. Raymond Toole and Jayden Lennox have each picked up six wickets so far, making them strong contenders to influence the outcome of the game.

Central Stags Predicted Playing XI:

Brad Schmulian, Curtis Heaphy, Jack Boyle, Dane Cleaver (wk), Tom Bruce, Josh Clarkson, William Clark, Brett Randell, Blair Tickner, Jayden Lennox (c), Raymond Toole

Weather Conditions

Eden Park, Auckland, is known for its shorter boundaries and high-scoring games. The pitch tends to favor batsmen with consistent bounce and pace, allowing for aggressive stroke play. Spinners may find some assistance as the game progresses, especially if the surface dries out. Fast bowlers can exploit early movement with the new ball. Teams often aim for 300+ in 50 overs, making it a batters' paradise with occasional opportunities for bowlers.

Auckland will see cloudy and breezy weather on the day of the game. However, there’s no threat of rain and we should get a full match.

AUCK vs CD Pitch Report

The average score batting first in ODIs at Eden Park is just 222. However, we are expecting a batting-friendly surface here and the team batting first will be eyeing a score of around 280-300 runs.

Toss: To Bowl

Eden Park usually favors the team batting second. 43 of the 76 ODIs played here have been won by the side chasing. Going by these records, we reckon both teams will look to field first here. 

Auckland Aces will be looking to stay at the top as they kick off the next phase of the Ford Trophy. They’ve had the upper hand over most teams this season, and with the Central Stags dealing with ups and downs, the Aces seem poised for another win. While the Stags’ batters have flashed potential, their bowlers haven’t delivered consistently, often letting them down when it matters most. Their inability to gel as a cohesive team could give Auckland the edge they need.

Auckland Aces are our picks for the winners of this game.
