In match number 21 of the Super Smash 2020-21 tournament, it is the Auckland Aces who will take on the Central Stags (Central Districts). The Eden Park Outer Oval in Auckland will be the venue for this encounter.
Auckland have struggled throughout this tournament and are yet to get off the mark. In fact, despite having some of the top stars for the last couple of games, they have not been able to get over the line. Their last two losses were pretty close ones. The Robert O’Donnell-led side have lost six games on the trot and have no chances of making it to the knockouts this season. However, they will be hoping to end the season with a few wins.
On the other hand, Central Districts have been consistent throughout this tournament and are currently second in the points table. They have won five out of their seven games so far and another win might seal a spot in the knockouts. However, Tom Bruce and his men will look to keep the winning momentum going as they would want to finish at the top of the points table to earn a direct entry into the final.

Pitch Report
The pitch at the Eden Park Outer Oval in Auckland is an absolute belter. The pitch is flat and the short boundaries come into effect as well and hence, it is no secret that the batsmen enjoy the conditions at this venue. More often than not, huge scores are posted and even chased. Thus, 180-200 could well be par for the team batting first and defensive bowling might be the key.
