CS vs AA Match Prediction & Betting Tips - Dec 14, 2022
The Auckland Aces are still searching for their first win of the season, as they take on the Central Districts for the second time in the ongoing season of the Ford Trophy.
The Central Districts won the previous contest quite comfortably, defeating the Aces by 8 wickets. This means that the odds on offer for another Central Districts’ win are quite short. Punters will need to look at a few of the side bets on offer to maximize their profits from this match.
CS vs AA Team Previews
Central Districts
The Central Districts finished the previous season at the top of the points table but were unlucky to lose to the Aces in the finals. This season, they have managed to beat the Aces in the most recent fixture, and have lost just 1 of their 4 matches. As a result, they are second on the points table, trailing Canterbury by just 1 point.
Dane Cleaver and Will Young are in excellent batting form for the Central Districts and are 1st and 3rd on the list of top-scorers for this season respectively. Brad Schmulian scored a brilliant half-century in the match against the Aces on Tuesday and put up a 97-run opening stand along with Cleaver. However, the middle-order batsmen, including Ross Taylor and Tom Bruce are yet to strike form.
Seth Rance has picked up 11 wickets from his 4 appearances so far and is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament. He has received good support from Blair Tickner, who is at 8 wickets. Ajaz Patel, Doug Bracewell, and Brett Randell too have bowled well in patches.

Auckland Aces
The defending champions have started their latest campaign on a disastrous note, and are winless after 5 fixtures. While one of the matches, against the Knights, got washed out due to bad weather, the Aces have lost 4 matches so far, and are last on the points table.
George Worker, Mark Chapman, and Robert O’Donnell, who were in excellent form in the previous season, have failed miserably to carry forward their form. Martin Guptill has featured in just 1 match so far, while Glenn Phillips is missing from the squad this time around. Young Adithya Ashok, who made his List-A debut earlier this year, is the top wicket-taker in the squad with 6 wickets.
The team is sorely missing the services of Lockie Ferguson, who was the leading wicket-taker for the Aces in the last season.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at Pukekura Park is a good one to bat on. However, the bowlers too will find some assistance due to the presence of green patches. The average first innings score here in domestic matches is around 220, but the team batting first will like to reach closer to the 250-run mark.
The weather is expected to be quite windy and humid, with showers forecast throughout the day. This may lead to some delays, aiding the teams batting second.
CS vs AA Betting Tips
We are backing the Central Districts to win this match. The batsmen, especially the top 3 appear to be in good form, while the bowling too is excellent. On the other hand, the Aces never really appeared to be menacing, and some of their key performers from the last season are missing.
Bet on a Central Districts win.
