The Aces are yet to register a win in this competition, whereas, the Kings placed third with 2 wins from 3 games are looking more settled. Therefore, we are backing Canterbury Kings to register a win in this fixture of CK vs AA Today Match Prediction and continue their winning streak.
Chad Bowes: The leading run-scorer for Canterbury this season so far with 111 runs from 3 innings at a blistering strike-rate of 176.19.
Sean Solia: From 4 innings so far, Solia has scored 118 runs for Auckland and is their leading run-scorer in the competition. A fine pick for captain/vice-captain for both GL and SL teams.
Martin Guptill: The return of the swashbuckling opener will give a massive boost to Aces’ chances of registering their first win of the season. The right-hander is Blackcaps’ leading run-getter in T20I’s and his vast experience will prove vital for the Aces.
