The 27th match of the Dream11 Super Smash T20 will feature Auckland Aces and Otago Volts at the Eden Park Outer Oval in Auckland on Monday.
Auckland Aces have had a below-par campaign in the Super Smash T20, languishing at the bottom of the points table with only a single win from eight games. They lost their last Super Smash T20 match against Northern Knights by three wickets.
Otago Volts, on the other hand, have only won two of their eight games and are in the penultimate position in the Super Smash points table. They endured a 6-wicket defeat in their last Super Smash game against Canterbury Kings.
Both teams, Auckland Aces and Otago Volts, are out of the Super Smash T20 playoffs race, though and only have pride to play for in their remaining games.

Pitch Report
The pitch at the Eden Park Outer Oval is a sporting one, where the average first-innings score is 133 runs.
The pacers are expected to find some swing with the new ball. But the batsmen could find it easy to score runs as the game progresses.
Chasing teams have had more success at this venue in the Super Smash T20. So the captain winning the toss could look to put the opposition in to bat first.
