The Central Stags will be facing the Auckland Aces for the second time in Super Smash 2024-25. The match is scheduled for January 29 at the McLean Park in Napier. Fans can catch the high-octane action live at 10:25 AM IST.

Central Stags

The Central Stags, have established themselves as the frontrunners in the ongoing competition, sitting atop the points table with 24 points from nine matches. With five wins, two losses, and two no-results, the Stags have showcased consistent performances throughout the tournament.

As table toppers, they are in a prime position to secure a spot in the final, provided they maintain their form and capitalize on the momentum in the upcoming fixture against Auckland.

Auckland Aces

Auckland finds themselves in a critical position, ranked fifth on the points table with 16 points from nine matches. With three wins, four losses, and two no-results, their campaign has been marked by inconsistency. 

Recent victories over Otago and Wellington showcased their potential, but back-to-back losses, including their latest against Wellington by six wickets, have dented their playoff aspirations. With their chances for the playoffs hanging by a thread, Auckland must deliver a strong performance in their next game to stay in contention and keep their playoff hopes alive.

How Will the McLean Park Pitch Behave?

McLean Park in Napier, known for its short boundaries, favours high-scoring games. Batters can exploit the dimensions, while bowlers must vary their deliveries on a slightly slowing pitch. With teams chasing the game winning most of the T20 games played on this venue, the captain winning the toss might choose to bowl first and restrict the opponent to a small total.
