Auckland Aces have opened the season with one win and two abandoned games, keeping them in second place. They will want to win this one and secure their position in the top two.
Their batting unit has been in decent touch. Bevon Jacobs has been the standout, scoring 109 runs from two matches at a strike rate of 179. He has struck two fifties in two games and looks well set to add more big scores.
Close behind him is Dale Phillips with 70 runs in two matches, while Lachlan Stackpole has contributed 60 runs at an excellent strike rate of 182.
In the bowling department, Harjot Johal has been the most successful so far with three wickets from one outing at an economy of eight. Angus Olliver and Ryan Harrison have supported well, sharing three wickets between them.

Otago Volts opened their season with a poor loss but bounced back strongly in their next to secure a 41-run win against Central Stags. In their last outing, they tied a match against Northern Districts, which has kept them in number three on the table.
The batting has been dependable, led by Max Chu, who has piled up 128 runs in three innings at a strike rate of 146. Jamal Todd has been in fine touch as well, making 117 runs from three matches at 175.
Luke Georgeson and Jack Boyle have added solidity with consistent scores, but overall, this batting unit hasn’t exactly been consistent. And with Glenn Phillips now unavailable, there’s added pressure on the others to step up.
In the bowling ranks, Luke Georgeson has been the most effective, taking five wickets in three games with an economy rate of 6.47. Ben Lockrose and Matthew Bacon have shared six wickets, and Danru Ferns has picked up two while conceding 10.08 an over. The attack has potential, but needs to fire together to trouble opponents.

Short straight boundaries shape scoring patterns at Eden Park Outer Oval, making lofted hits down the ground a constant option. Square boundaries are longer, which brings placement into play. The pitch is usually firm and true with little change across forty overs. Bowlers rely on pace changes and wide lines rather than movement.
The weather will be cloudy, with chances of a shower in the morning.
Totals above 170 are common at Eden Park Outer Oval, and chasing rarely feels uncomfortable with minimal late assistance.
With the weather expected to be cloudy and chances of rain around, the toss-winning skipper will prefer to bowl first in case the DLS comes into play in the second innings.
Auckland Aces and Otago Volts both have had a decent start to the season. Auckland have won their only completed game so far, while their other two were abandoned. Otago have shown plenty of spirit after bouncing back with a win and a tied game, and can do better if the batting unit steps up. Based on the strengths and weaknesses of both teams, Auckland have the edge in this encounter.
We are backing Auckland Aces as the winners of this match.
