Tom Bruce (Central Stags Captain): "Dan and Will Clark were amazing with the bat. 170 was a very good score. Yeah, that was always the aim to take early wickets in the powerplay. Doug was amazing to give the powerplay to us."
Robert O'Donnell(Auckland Aces Captain)- "No I don't regret bowling first. We didn't have the partnership and lost a few wickets at the start. They had the partnership in the middle and got better of us there. I think our team is good to go for the play-offs and I think the last few games will be crucial for us. We need to regroup and come back stronger for the next games."
Dane Cleaver (Player of the Match): "It was good to spend time in the middle. Good to be getting the win today. Fortunate to have some great players in Tom Bruce, Doug Bracewell, Will Young, Bevan Small and others."

19.6 J Lennox to L Delport
W A wicket to end the match! That's it! A commendable effort from the Central Stags as they topple the table-toppers in Eden Park. Full and around the fourth stump. The batter looked to hit through the line and was early at it. The ball crashed on to the stumps and Delport departs for a golden duck.
Louis Delport to face the final ball of the innings.
19.5 J Lennox to D Ferns
W Full and wide outside the off. Asks the batter to hit away from the body and gets his dividends. Ferns threw the kitchen sink at it and gets the top edge towards the short third man fielder. A consolation wicket!
Ferns gets the maximum but it's too late for him and the Aces!
19.4 J Lennox to D Ferns
6 BANG! In the arc and has been dispatched out of the park. Full and quick at the leg stump. Ferns sits there and slogs it over long on for a six. Nice connection but things won't work out for the Aces unless extras.
Three legal balls from here and the Stags are home!
19.3 J Lennox to D Ferns
2 Full-toss widish outside the off. Ferns shimmies down the ground and lofts it towards sweeper cover for a couple.
Aces have to get four consecutive maximums of the four remaining balls!
19.2 J Lennox to R Harrison
1 Full and outside the off. Harrison slashes it towards long off.
