By Omkar91

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Central Stags vs Auckland Aces match. We are covering CD vs AUK Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the Super Smash 2018-19 match. The match is to be played at the Pukekura Park, New Plymouth.

Central Stags play their first home game of the season and it will be against the blockbuster team of Auckland Aces. The Aces are yet to get a game in the competition as their first match was a washout. The Stags will be hoping to replicate their inaugural performance against the Aces as well.

Playing versus the Northern Knights in the first match, Stags bowled well to contain the opposition to 156/8. Rance, Murray, Wheeler, Worker bowled with discipline while Tickner raced to three wickets. In reply, the Stags lost four wickets for only 41 runs.

Auckland Aces faced Wellington in the first match. However, the match was abandoned with incessant rain. Even the toss did not take place. The Auckland side is full of superstars and will be the favorites to win the competition. The likes of Colin Munro, Martin Guptill, Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips and Lockie Ferguson will be great attractions.
