Central Stags will lock horns with Northern Knights in the fifth match of the Dream11 Super Smash T20 on Wednesday at the Pukekura Park in New Plymouth.
Central Stags started their Super Smash campaign with a defeat in their season opener. They fell short by 39 runs while chasing 176 runs against the defending champions Wellington Firebirds.
Northern Knights, on the other hand, will begin their campaign in the Super Smash T20 with this fixture and will hope to do so on a winning note. They finished the last edition of the Super Smash tournament at the bottom of the points table, managing a meagre 18 points after winning only four of their ten games.
Nevertheless, a high-scoring Super Smash T20 game could be on cards, as both teams have some of the most explosive batsmen in their arsenals.

Pitch Report
The track at the Pukekura Park is a pretty good one to bat on. The ball comes on the bat nicely, and the batsmen are able to rack up big runs on the board. However, the bowlers are expected to get some swing with the new ball. The average first-innings score at this venue is 178 runs.
