Super Smash 2021-22, Northern Brave vs Auckland Aces: Probable XIs, match prediction, weather forecast, pitch report and live streaming details

The seventh match of the Men’s Super Smash 2021-22 will see Northern Brave lock horns against Auckland Aces. Seddon Park in Hamilton will host this exciting encounter.

Northern Brave’s first game of the competition against the Otago Volts was washed out due to rain. In their second game against the same opposition, they suffered a loss in a close-fought contest. After being asked to bat first, Northern Brave managed to score 146 in their 20 overs, losing eight wickets.

The bowlers then did well to pick up seven wickets but the Volts chased down the total with two balls to spare. The Brave will be hoping to put their best foot forward and register their first win of the competition.

Auckland Aces will be playing their first game of the Super Smash. The Aces have been one of the most successful sides in the Men’s Super Smash, winning four titles so far. They will be chasing their fifth title and will be eager to get off to a winning start to the competition.

They had a disappointing season last time around. They managed to win only two games out of 10 and will be hoping for a much-improved performance in the upcoming edition of the Super Smash.
