Preview:
Northern Brave will lock horns with Auckland Aces in the 7th match of the Super Smash 2021-22. Northern Brave’s opening game was washed out due to rain at the halfway mark against Otago whereas they lost their 2nd game against the same opposition by 3 wickets in the final over of the match.
Auckland Aces will be playing their first match of the tournament. They had an ordinary tournament last year where they finished at the 5th spot in the standings with 8 points. They need to show more character in this season if they want to achieve big.
