Super Smash 2023-24: Top run-getters and wicket-takers after Auckland Aces vs Northern Brave (Updated) ft. Lockie Ferguson and Sean Solia

Auckland Aces registered their fourth win in Super Smash 2023-24 after registering a comprehensive eight-wicket victory over Northern Brave on Friday. A combined bowling effort from Auckland helped them bundle out Braves for just 121 runs in the first innings.

Lockie Ferguson led the bowling attack wonderfully as he returned with sensational bowling figures of 4/14 runs in four overs. Ben Lister looked equally lethal with the ball, on the other hand, as he returned with an impressive spell of 1/7 in three overs.

Northern Braves lost first four wickets for just 29 runs on the board. Joe Carter (48 off 39) and Brett Hampton (25 off 21) helped the team reach past 100-run mark. However, once that partnership was broken, wickets continued to fall in quick succession as they finished on a below-par score.

In reply, Aces chased it down in just 16.3 overs, courtesy of some wonderfully ball-striking from Sean Solia. The Auckland opener blazed his way to an unbeaten knock of just 67 runs in just 42 balls, including three fours and five sixes.

Skipper Robert O’Donnell gave him decent support and finished unbeaten on 35 off 36 balls. With that win, Auckland Aces solidified their position at number two on the table with four wins in seven matches. Northern Brave, on the other hand, suffered their fifth loss in six six matches and thus, are languishing at the bottom of the table.
