Captain and vice-captain:
K Clarke was on absolute fire in the last game. He blasted 63 runs from 38 balls in the first game and hammered 7 fours and 2 sixes. He averages 31.81 in List A cricket and has 3 fifties in 11 innings. Considering his recent form and his stats, he is a good pick for the captain.
B Randell had a dream start to the tournament as he claimed five wickets in the first game. Randell picked 5 wickets for 22 runs in 6 overs and made great use of the conditions on offer. In this game too, he will play a big role.
J Raval scored a composed knock of 43-run of 45 balls in the first game against Auckland and he should be expected to continue his good run in the second game as well.
G Beghin made 47 runs from 67 balls in the first game and looked good enough to make a big score. Although he missed out in the last game, expect him to carry his good form in this match too.
Northern Districts seem to have the right team for these conditions. On the other hand, Auckland are yet to find strength in their top order. So in the NK vs AUK Dream11 today match prediction, expect NK to win the game.
