AA vs WF Who Will Win

The table-topper as well as the finalist, Wellington Firebirds are favorites to win the clash. They have completely dominated the tournament and are expected to easily thump the low flying Aces. The Aces have looked out of rhythm in this season and have managed just two wins, that too in the second half of the tournament. They were mentally pushed back early in the tournament with six defeats in a row. The Aces will look to drive in some confidence from their 103 runs win over Otago in the previous fixture to secure a consolation win and end their campaign on a high.
