Match Details
Robert O Donnell (Auckland Aces Captain): “Really a good game of cricket. It was a competitive score as the wicket was tough to bat on but Ross Taylor came on and took the game away from us. Our bowling was pretty good today and also Cole Briggs was good in the powerplay today. Good to see him stepping up."
