AA vs WF, Super Smash 2024-25 Preview

The Auckland Aces team has registered three wins and sustained three defeats from six completed fixtures, with two of their opening matches getting washed out due to rains. With 16 points from eight games, the NRR of the Auckland Aces reads 0.465 and they are currently occupying the fourth spot on the Super Smash 2024-25 points table. Young Bevon Jacobs will start out as one of the in-form players with the bat, considering the dashing cricketer has tallied the highest number of runs among all Auckland players this season. With the ball, fast bowler Danru Ferns is currently leading the wicket taking race of the tournament with 13 scalps from just six innings.

The Wellington Firebirds team is currently languishing at the bottom of the Super Smash 2024-25 points table, even though they have recorded as many wins as the Aces from eight matches. However, the Firebirds’ NRR reads a dismal -0.178, and they have sustained five defeats so far this tournament. Batting continues to remain a primary area of concern for the Wellington team, as only Tim Robinson and Nick Kelly have managed to mint over 200 runs for them this competition. While the Firebirds’ bowling unit has failed to put up a collective performance off late, young speedster Ben Sears has emerged as their pace spearhead with 10 wickets from just six matches.
