Preview:
Central Stags will lock horns with Auckland Aces in the 14th match of the Super Smash 2021/22 on Monday. Central Stags are in a pretty good position at the moment, having won 3 of their 4 matches. Some splendid batting performances from Greg Hay and an even better bowling display from Seth Rance gave them a convincing win over Otago Volts in their previous match by 53 runs. They are in the second spot in the standings with 12 points.
Auckland Aces, on the other hand, returned to the winning ways with a 13 runs win over Wellington on Friday. Special credit for their bowlers for defending one of the lowest scores. They will move up in the points table if they do win this match.
