Pre-Match Analysis:
The response from Central Stags was loud as they thumped Northern Brave by 56 runs to seek revenge for their earlier loss. The arrival of their big runs Will Young, Tom Bruce, and Josh Clarkson brought a tremendous amount of confidence to the troop. It was the knock from Doug Bracewell that stood out in the win as the experienced all-rounder hammered 93* runs in just 33 balls to power them to a score of 206 on the board. Left-arm spinner Jayden Lennox completely ruled the show in the second half, picking up a 4-fer as a result they bundle out Northern Brave for 150. They need to replicate similar performances going forward.
Auckland Aces made their mark early on with a 27-run win over Canterbury where Robert Roux O’Donnell, Martin Guptill, Danru Ferns, and James Neesham contributed heavily towards the success. Their second fixture against Wellington Blaze was abandoned without a ball bowled. Finn Allen and James Neesham will only be available after their National commitments while Adithya Ashok, Cole Briggs, and William O’Donnell are back in the squad for this clash.
