Central Districts beat Auckland by 29 runs (DLS method)
Will Young 67 (27) | Jayden Lennox 3/31 Cole Briggs 50 (33) | Brett Randell 3/32
A rain-curtailed match came to an end as the Central Districts beat Auckland by 29 runs via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method. They will take this positive result in their stride while Aukland continue to grapple at the bottom of the standings.
Update 9:15 AM IST: Ah, what a shame! I have bad news for you, folks. The rain has not stopped, and the umpires have come together to decree that no further play will be possible. This means that the Central Districts win this match by virtue of being ahead of their Duckworth-Lewis par score at the moment.
Update 9:05 AM IST: The covers are still on at the ground, and the rain hasn't stopped. It doesn't seem like the game is going to get started anytime soon. Stay tuned for more updates coming your way.
8:40 AM IST: I regret to inform you that there is a mild downpour at the ground, and the players are walking off! The covers are on as well. Play has been interrupted by rain. This is rather unfortunate, but do stay tuned to Sportskeeda for live updates coming your way.
