The pitch will good to bat in the first 2 days and will get spicy with assistance for the pacers and ball might seam and swing around as the match progresses.
Both teams will look to bat first in this match as the pitch will be good to bat in the first 2 days.
Northern knights have excellent depth in their batting and bowling units with a lot of all-rounders in their playing XI. Auckland has the advantage of experienced players that suit the conditions, but lack consistentcy with the bat. We expect Auckland to win this match due to their home advantage.
