Hello and Welcome to our preview for Auckland Aces vs Northern Knights match. We are covering AUK vs NK Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the Super Smash 2018-19 match. The match is to be played at the Seddon Park, Hamilton.

On 6^th January, we will see all six teams in the action. Auckland Aces taking on the Northern Knights will be one of the fixtures. The Knights are at the top of the tree with two wins from their three matches. Auckland has won one, lost one and one match was washed out.

Auckland faced defeat at the hands of Canterbury in their last match. Batting first, the star-studded Auckland team was all out for only 110 runs as Kyle Jamieson registered the magical figures of 6/7. With Lister and McClenaghan nipping out early wickets, there were hopes for the Aces but the total proved too small.

Northern Knights, on the other hand, cruised to a five-wicket win against Otago Volts. All Knights bowlers bowled with great discipline and restricted the Volts below 100 runs in their quota of 20 overs. Knights struggled on the difficult track as well but Captain Brownlie carried them past the winning total.
