Auckland vs Wellington Predictions

Top of the table Wellington are on fire this season, picking up three wins and the shared points from an abandoned match from their four matches. Auckland sit second on the table with a win and a loss, as well as two abandoned matches.

Head-to-Head

Auckland has won three of the last five matches between the two sides, with one match abandoned and Wellington claiming one win.

Auckland Form

After winning their opening match of the campaign, Auckland were hit by two abandoned matches before losing to Otago in the last over.

Auckland hit 151/9 off their 20 overs, Robert O’Donnell top-scoring with 35 off 38 balls.

Otago reached their target with two balls and three wickets in hand, despite a superb bowling performance from Louis Delport (3/16).

Auckland Team News

Auckland will be hoping one or two of their batters can put together a more substantial innings to give their bowlers a better target to defend.

Wellington Form

Wellington are undefeated this season, winning two of their first three matches, along with a no-result, before picking up their third win of the season over Northern Districts.

Wellington posted 177/8 off their 20 overs, Tom Blundell starring with 71 off just 39 balls.

Northern Districts started poorly and could only put together 154/8 off their 20 overs. Peter Younghusband was the pick of the bowlers with 3/21.

Wellington Team News

Wellington are in incredible form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Verdict

Auckland v Wellington

I am backing Wellington to win. I am also backing Tim Robinson to top score for Wellington.

Robert O'Donnell is a good bet to top score for Auckland.
