These two sides faced off earlier last week in the tournament opener. The match ended in favour of the Northern Knights who defeated the Auckland Aces with 6 wickets in hand. Winning the toss, the Northern Knights elected to field first and did the job well, restricting Auckland to 138/9 within the 27th over. With the D/L method coming into the equation, the Knights managed to chase the revised score with ease and ended with 143/4 in just 19.3 overs to take the match away.

Defending champions Auckland have started the tournament with a poor squad since most of their first-choice players are on international duty playing against the West Indies. They will be looking to get back to winning ways and lift the trophy once again. Northern Kights, on the other hand, will be looking to inflict defeat on their opponents again tonight and get their second win in the ongoing Ford Trophy 2020.
