The Super Smash 2020/21 follows a schedule that allows the women’s games to be played out first followed by the men’s tournament games. Earlier in the day, we have Auckland Hearts playing Northern Spirit and just a few hours later at the same ground, we have the men’s franchises in action. Auckland Aces has had the worst start to the Super Smash 2020/21, with 5 losses in their 5 games, right at the bottom of the points table now.
However, this is their best chance to get their first win of the tournament as Northern Knights haven’t had the best starts to the season either. They’ve got only 1 win in their 6 matches and are just one spot ahead of the Aces. This will be the first time they’re meeting in the 2020/21 Super Smash T20 season.

Stats that matter
- Last 5 T20 games head to head, Knights leads 4-1.
- Last 3 games this tournament – all won batting second.
- Ben Lister – wicketless in 4 of his 5 games this season.
Auckland Aces
With the ball, the 36-year old William Somerville has plenty of experience and though he got only 1 wicket in his last couple of games, he’s got 6 in 5 games this tournament and should be in your AA vs NK fantasy team. With the bat, Glenn Phillips has had a tough time so far but he’s got a couple of wickets and while he’s not got big scores here, he’s coming off a couple of centuries prior to this tournament.
It’s been a tough season so far for Benjamin Lister but in the one game that he did get wickets, he got a 3-fer and that’s what makes him worth adding to your AA vs NK fantasy team – the fact that he can be a game changer. Another batting option if required is Sean Solia who has managed 2 fifties in 5 matches this season so far and looks to be in brilliant touch with the bat.
Northern Knights
Very much like Phillips, Tim Seifert is another wicket-keeper pick who has plenty of international experience and some good form as well, getting 2 fifties in 6 games so far here. Another batter with plenty of years of experience is Jeet Raval who doesn’t specialise in the T20 format but has got scores of 70 and 10 in 2 games so far, so is worth adding to your BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) fantasy team. well.

Another player who has much international experience and is known for his T20 exploits is Scott Kuggeleijn who has 7 wickets in 6 games and when he gets a chance to bat, he can hit a few long balls as well. With a top score of 28 with the bat and 4 wickets in 6 games with the ball, Brett Hampton is another person who can rake in a few fantasy points for you today.
