Commentary

That's all from us then! We hope you enjoyed our coverage of this Supersmash contest between the Canterbury Kings and the Auckland Aces. This is Soumarya Dutta, signing off on behalf of my partner Pragadeesh. See you soon!

Auckland Aces 149/6 in 19.3 overs
Ben Horne 54(24) | Henry Shipley 2/24
Sean Solia 33(25) | Angus McKenzie 2/35

Right so, the Aces have romped home with 4 wickets remaining here and they've clinched an absolute nerve wrecker of a contest. They were in a precarious position at the halfway stage with just 47 runs on the board and were four wickets down. However a good partnership between Will O'Donnell and Sean Solia and then between Solia and Ben Horne got them home. Horne was the star for them as he played an unbelievable knock of 54 of just 24 balls. In a low scoring game, it was his knock that proved to be the real difference between the two sides.

The Canterbury bowlers managed to keep things tight for the larger part of the innings, but they lost their lines in the second half and kept leaking the runs. Once Ben Horne came hard at them, they really seemed to run out of ideas and the game just slipped away from their hands. Henry Shipley was the pick of the bowlers for them as he managed to get 2 wicket for 26 while the veteran Todd Astle was at his best as he gave away just 23 runs from his four overs and managed to get 1 wicket.

Overall we've witnessed an absolute thriller of a contest and it could have gone either way. Both the sides had their moments in the game and dominated for a decent part of the game but in the end it was Ben Horne, who was unreal and held his nerve to get the Aces over the line. With this win, the Auckland Aces have opened their account in the points table and they will be really happy with this effort. The Canterbury Kings will have to regroup quickly and get their act together from here on.

19.3 Henry Shipley to Louis Delport, FOUR! The Aces cross the finish line. Dug it short angling across off, Delport tries to upper cut this one but gets a thick outside edge and it flies to the third man fence

19.2 Henry Shipley to Louis Delport, short of a length delivery outside leg-stump, Delport ducks under to everyone's surprise

19.1 Henry Shipley to Louis Delport, good length delivery angling across the fifth stump channel, Delport tries to guide it but gets beaten

Angus Mckenzie did get that breakthrough eventually although it might just be a little too late! The game will eventually go into the last over but it's clearly the Aces who are favorites from here on.

18.6 Angus McKenzie to Louis Delport, short of a length, Delport pulls it over mid-wicket. The fielder at deep square leg runs to his right, covered enough ground and parries the ball just in time

Louis Delport, LHB, comes to the crease.

18.5 Angus McKenzie to Sean Solia, OUT! Pitched up on leg-stump, Solia lofts it straight to the fielder stationed at wide long-on

18.3 Angus McKenzie to Sean Solia, short of a length outside leg-stump, Solia helps it to deep backward square leg for a single

18.2 Angus McKenzie to Ben Horne, fuller and outside off-stump, drills the drive past extra cover. The fielder at sweeper cover tidies it up and keeps them down to three

18.1 Angus McKenzie to Ben Horne, SIX! Shot of the day! Low full toss outside off-stump, Horne gets low and heaves it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum

The Canterbury Kings bowlers have suddenly lost their lines here and are under a lot of pressure! Ben Horne has gone hard at them and the runs are now starting to flow easily for them. This has been a massive partnership for the Aces in the context of this game. They need just 17 more to win here from the last two overs.
