WELL vs AUCK
Winning Prediction
Auckland have a strong batting line-up with quality top-6 players who can make big scores consistently. Auckland bowlers are lacking the wicket taking capabilities and are looking for X-factor bowlers. Central Districts too have a good batting line-up but are not consistent. Their bowlers have fared better and will look to continue their good work in this match too. We expect Wellington to win in this match.
