Auckland have stuck with an unchanged 12 for their crucial Plunket Shield clash with Northern Districts starting on Sunday.
The game between the top two looms as a potential title decider. An outright result for the Knights would all but confirm them as champions and a win for the Aces would pull them almost equal with the Knights with one round to play.
Team: Gareth Hopkins (captain), Dean Bartlett, Michael Bates, Brad Cachopa, Colin de Grandhomme, Anaru Kitchen, Mitchell McClenaghan, Bruce Martin, Colin Munro, Neal Parlane, Jeet Raval, Bhupinder Singh
