It's a battle of the cellar dwellers this afternoon in Auckland when the Northern Stars host the Southern Steel in netball's ANZ Premiership.

It's pretty much a must-win for both sides, if they're to make the post-season.

The Steel, who've won two games from eight attempts, are second-bottom but surprisingly have the same points as the winless, dead-last Stars.

Both teams need the points if they're to close the gap on the top-three playoff places with six rounds to go, but are well behind the fourth-placed Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic.

Emma Thompson out of the Northern Stars joined D'Arcy Waldegrave to preview the clash.
