AA vs WF Toss Prediction
Six domestic T20 games have been played at Eden Park in Auckland. The teams chasing a target have won four of these games, while the teams batting first have won two. So, the skippers looking at this record are likely to opt to field first on this track.
Pitch and Conditions
The Eden Park wicket is famous for helping the bowlers. The pitch will offer assistance to the bowlers, especially early on in the game. So, you can expect a low-scoring affair here. We are expecting clear weather during the contest. The temperature during the game will be close to 66 degrees Fahrenheit.
AA vs WF Betting Tips
Both teams have recorded three wins in the league stage of the competition, but Auckland has lost fewer games than Wellington. They are also playing at home and will be aware of the prevailing conditions. Add their recent win against Wellington into the mix and we think Auckland Aces have a great chance of winning.
Bet on the Auckland Aces to win.
