    Auckland are on the board in cricket's T20 Super Smash, after posting 199 for six and beating Central Districts by 17 runs at Eden Park's outer oval

    Auckland are on the board in cricket's T20 Super Smash, after posting 199 for six and beating Central Districts by 17 runs at Eden Park's outer oval


    The win was the Aces' first in seven games - Mark Chapman led the way with 73 off 34 balls.

    He says their spot on the table doesn't reflect how they've played this season.



    The result leaves the Stags second with 20 points alongside Wellington and Canterbury, although both those sides have games in hand.
