Preview:
Central Stags will face Northern Brave in the 10th match of the Ford Trophy 2021/22 on Thursday. Central Stags will be disappointed as their first match was washed out by rain and they shared the points with Northern Brave. It’s a good opportunity for them to get started their new year campaign with a win.
Northern Brave, on the other hand, have played only one full game in this tournament and they lost to Canterbury Kings in that game by 7 wickets whereas their other 2 matches were washed out due to rain. They are placed at the 5th spot in the standings with 4 points.
Match Details:
Central Stags vs Northern Brave, Match 10
Venue: Pukekura Park, New Plymouth
Date & Time: January 6th at 3:30 AM IST and 11:00 AM Local Time
Pitch Report:
We witnessed a high-scoring run-fest in the Super Smash last week. It’s an excellent wicket to bat on and the bowlers need to be precise in their line and lengths if they want to be successful on this typical batting wicket.
