Preview:
Auckland Aces will lock horns with Central Districts in the 21st league match of the tournament. The former team has really struggled in this tournament and is winless in six matches. Their tournament is all but over and it’s the pride that they need to salvage in the remaining few games.
Central Stags, on the other hand, are well placed at the second spot winning five out of their seven matches. They will look to continue their good run against a hapless Auckland side to take the top spot, ahead of Wellington Firebirds.
