Auckland vs Northern Knights Chance of Winning

Auckland had a solid campaign last season as they were one of the best teams in the group stages. Auckland ended up with six wins in ten matches and made the playoffs. They beat Central Districts in the Elimination round but eventually they failed to show up in the finals against Canterbury as they lost the game by six wickets.

Northern Knights would be hoping for a big improvement this season as they failed to compete last term. Northern Knights ended up with just one win in ten matches and ended up sixth on the table. They head into this season after seven losses in a row. As per our calculations, Auckland are favourites in the upcoming game.

• Auckland’ chances of winning - 64%
• Northern Knights’ chances of winning - 36%

Auckland vs Northern Knights Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Sean Solia had a decent campaign last season as he scored 324 runs in 12 matches. Solia struggled to make an impact against Northern Knights last season as he scored 0 and 13 which makes us believe he will struggle in the upcoming game.

Fergus Lellman struggled for consistency last season as he scored 201 runs with an average of 22.33. In the two matches against Auckland he scored 28 and 9 which makes us believe he will score low in the upcoming game.

Auckland vs Northern Knights Match Toss Prediction

Historically the teams that have bowled first have dominated the game in the past. The last two of the three matches have been won by the teams that have bowled first which makes us believe both sides would prefer to chase in the upcoming game.

Auckland vs Northern Knights Betting Odds

Auckland to have a better opening partnership than Northern Knights

Auckland and Northern Knights go head to head after both sides had contrasting campaigns last season. Auckland made the finals last term and are one of the favourites to go all the way this season. On the other hand, Northern Knights head into this season after one of the worst seasons last term as they lost eight games last season and struggled to compete last season. The difference in quality between the two sides was huge last season and we expect a similar trend in this game. Both teams went head to head twice last season and on both occasions Auckland dominated the game. Northern Knights have lost seven games in a row and they have conceded a bigger opening partnership in two of the last three games which makes us believe Auckland will have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.

Auckland vs Northern Knights Top Batters

Cam Fletcher to be Auckland’ top batter

Cam Fletcher would be hoping to replicate his form from last season as he was exceptional last season. Fletcher scored 417 runs and was the leading run scorer for Auckland which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Brett Hampton to be Northern Knights’ top batter

Brett Hampton was sensational last season against Auckland as he scored two half centuries in two games. Hampton was the leading run scorer for Northern Knights last season which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Auckland vs Northern Knights Top Bowlers

Adithya Ashok to be Auckland’ top bowler

Adithya Ashok has been fabulous for Auckland in all formats. He only played seven matches last year and ended up with ten wickets. We expect Ashok to play a key role in this game and to have a strong start to the season.

Brett Hampton to be Northern Knights’ top bowler

Brett Hampton was the stand out player for Northern Knights last season as he was outstanding with the bat and the ball. With 14 wickets, he was the leading wicket taker which makes us believe he will dominate with the ball in the upcoming game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Auckland

Northern Knights have struggled to compete against Auckland in the recent past as they lost both games last season. Auckland had a far better season last term which is probably why the bookmakers have sided with Auckland and you should do the same as they will start the season on a positive note in the upcoming game.

• Auckland to win - 1.54 (PariMatch)
• Northern Knights to win - 2.32 (PariMatch)
