We’re back to some New Zealand domestic ODD cricket with the Ford Trophy 2021/22 which is being played simultaneously along with the T20 Super Smash tournament as well. And we have Auckland Aces in action here in this game, which is Match 11 of the tournament. They began well with a win in their first game of this campaign but are coming into this game with a loss against Wellington in the last match.
They begin as slight favourites as their opponents in Northern Brave are yet to get a single win this tournament. They have played four games and two ended in losses and the other two were washed out due to rain, so they will be desperate to get on the board with a victory this season, and they’ve won all of their last three against Auckland.

Auckland Aces
New Zealand opener Martin Guptill limped off in the last game and he’s likely to be unavailable for a few weeks because of injury so we’re leaving him out of our AA vs NB fantasy team and picking Glenn Phillips who scored a fifty in his last Super Smash game and is in good touch. Mark Chapman will also be worth picking after spending some time with the national side and performing well in India as well.
With the ball, they have the likes of Lockie Ferguson who also come with plenty of international experience while Sean Solia is someone worth picking maybe even as captain or vice-captain of your AA vs NB Dream11 team. He hasn’t got a wicket in his last 2 games but he bowls frequently and contributes with the bat as well. William Somerville has also been among the wickets in recent games, picking a 2-fer in his last outing in the Ford Trophy.
Northern Brave
Late last month, Jeet Raval had four consecutive single digit scores including two ducks but he scored 66* in his last T20 game and 26 in his last Ford Trophy game too, so he is finding rhythm and makes our team for sure. Another under-performing player at this point of time is national side all-rounder Colin de Grandhomme but everyone knows what he can do on his day, so he’s another fantasy captain or vice-captain option.

Talking about international talent in the side, there’s the wily old spinner in Mitchell Santner who even gets more chances with the bat when he’s playing domestic cricket, so he’s a must pick in our MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) AA vs NB fantasy team. If you want a specialist bowling option, there’s Anurag Verma who has managed to consistently take wickets over the last few seasons in domestic cricket.
