Northern Knights vs Auckland Chance of Winning

Northern Knights struggled to make an impact last season as after winning their opening game against Central Districts, Northern Knights lost five games in a row. They ended the campaign with one win in nine games and were eventually knocked out in the group stages as they ended up sixth on the table.

Auckland had a brilliant campaign last season as they went all they way and were crowned champions. The finals against Canterbury was called off due to rain but since they had a better run in the group stages Auckland were crowned champions. As per our calculations, Auckland are favourites in the upcoming game.

Northern Knights vs Auckland Prediction & Betting Tips 2024

Brett Hampton struggled to make an impact last season as he scored 131 runs in ten matches with an average of 16.37 which is pretty low for a middle order batsman which makes us believe he will score low in the upcoming game.

Sean Solia has been one of the most consistent batters for Auckland heading into this campaign. Even though Solia did not have a great campaign last season, we believe the Auckland skipper will score well in the upcoming game.

Northern Knights vs Auckland Betting Odds

Auckland to have a better opening partnership than Northern Knights

Auckland and Northern Knights head into this fixture after a contrasting campaign last season. Auckland had a phenomenal run last term as they had just two losses in the group stages and ended up at the top of the table. Their final game against Canterbury was called off due to rain and as they had a better run in the group stages, they were eventually crowned champions. On the other hand, Northern Knights struggled to make an impact as they managed just two wins and ended up sixth on the table. Both sides went head to head twice in the group stages and on both occasions Auckland dominated the proceeding and won on both occasions. What makes this tip so enticing is the fact on both occasions Auckland had a better opening stand which makes us believe they would once again have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
