AUK vs CD Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview: Ford Trophy

Welcome to our Preview for the 1^st Qualifier match of the Ford Trophy, Central Districts (CD) versus Auckland Aces (AUK). The match will be played at the home of Central Districts team, Pukekera Park, New Plymouth. Here is all the key information you need to make your winning Dream11 team.

Like in the IPL, here also top 2 teams will play a qualifier, where the winning team will directly go to the final at home. Losing team will have another chance from the winner of 3v4 match. CD and AUK ended in top 2 hence they are here.

All the last round fixtures of Ford Trophy were rained off in the last week so the set of data that we have is from their matches on 7^th Feb. There have been few changes to the squad since then but the final 11 will be a little difficult to predict.

Auckland has lost the services of Mark Chapman as he has been selected for the national side. He was their batting mainstay so AUK may have some issues, the under-19 star Finn Allen is expected to play in his place. CD, however, face no major blow and are a better composed team.
