Super Smash T20

In the 24th match of the ongoing 2020-21 Dream11 Super Smash, Northern Knights square off against Auckland at the Seddon Park in Hamilton.

While both teams are coming into this Super Smash contest on the back of wins, they are out of the reckoning for the knockout stage of the tournament.

Northern Knights were disappointing in the first half of the Super Smash, winning just one of their first six games. Barring the loss against Otago and win over Central Districts, every other Super Smash game resulted in a comprehensive defeat for them.

However, they have pulled a couple of wins in rain-affected games against Auckland and Canterbury, where they won while chasing. The Anton Devcich-led side will hope to continue their momentum and end their Super Smash campaign on a high.

Meanwhile, Auckland have been equally poor, if not worse, in their first six games in the Super Smash. Robert O’Donnell and his men came close in a few Super Smash games but couldn’t get over the line.

However, Auckland finally registered their first win in the Super Smash when they beat Central Districts by 17 runs while defending 199. They will be looking to finish their Super Smash campaign on a high as well.

In terms of head to head, Northern Knights have beaten Auckland 14 times while losing on 13 occasions.

Venue: Seddon Park, Hamilton.


Pitch Report

Surprisingly, the Seddon Park in Hamilton has produced a couple of low-scoring games in the Super Smash this season. However, the 22-yard surface at the Seddon Park is a good one to bat on.

The batsmen are able to play shots on the up, and the outfield is super quick as well. There is something in it for the pacers early on, and spin doesn't play much part.

More of the same could be expected for this game too, with 170 runs likely to be a par total.
