In the last game they beat the defending champions Northern Knights by 23 runs.

Auckland vs Wellington Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Nick Kelly had a disappointing campaign last year as he scored 130 runs in eight innings with an average of 16.25. This year Kelly has had a phenomenal start to the season as he scored 48 off 34 balls in the opening game against Auckland as Wellington won the game by 74 runs and in the second game he scored an unbeaten 11. Even though Kelly did not have a good game against Northern Knights, we believe he would score well in the upcoming game.
Sean Solia had a distraught campaign last season as he managed to score 168 runs last season. In the two games against Wellington even though Auckland won both the games, Solia managed to score 7 and 28. This season, once again Solia have had an underwhelming start to the campaign as he did not have the best of games against Canterbury and Otago which makes us believe he would struggle to score well in the upcoming game.

Auckland vs Wellington Betting Odds
Auckland to have a better opening partnership than Wellington
Auckland and Wellington were the two worst sides in the competitions last year as both sides ended up with 16 points and were fifth and sixth on the table. Wellington have looked sublime this season as they remain the only unbeaten side in the tournament. Auckland have been unfortunate as two of the first four matches were called off due to rain. Even with all the pitfalls in the last campaign, Auckland did a double against Wellington last year and in both matches they had a better opening partnership which makes this tip very lucrative. In the two games thus far Auckland has posted an opening stand of 39 and 26 and in both outings they had a better opening stand in the game which makes us believe Auckland would register a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
