Wellington Firebirds

Eyeing their opening win of the competition, Wellington Firebirds would aim a defiant performance in this fixture to get themselves kicking.

Central Districts

Central Districts, on the other hand, started their campaign with a 5 wicket win over the reigning champions Northern Knights but lost the following encounter at the hands of Auckland Aces by 5 wickets.
