Otago Volts

In their last game of this year's Ford Trophy, the Otago Volts were bowled out for a paltry total of 157 runs. The Otago to order crumbled and lost 3 wickets inside the first powerplay and were reeling at 21 for 3 at one stage. But Max Chu with 45 runs and Finnie with 37 runs, resurrected the innings somewhat. This was aided by Rutherford scoring 28 runs and Rippon with 28 runs who played a couple of cameos. However, these two failed to convert these scores into big ones which would have helped them post a fighting total on the board.

Despite this dismal showing in the last game, it has to be remembered that Otago volts have a lot of depth in their batting order with many players being capable of scoring runs and they bat till number 9 in the batting order. The Otago bowling attack leaked as many as 159 runs from just 22.1 overs only to lose the game by a margin of 9 wickets. The only wicket that fell in this innings was picked up by Michael Rippon. Jacob Duffy bowled well though and was economical. These two faster bowlers will be joined by Jake Gibson and Bacon to create a pace quartet for the Otago side.

Max Chu is the wicketkeeper-batsman for Otago who scored a life-saving 45 from 70 balls to add some respectability to an otherwise dismal performance from the Otago outfit in their opening encounter. He hit 5 fours and 1 six in this effort. Josh Finnie scored 37 from 48 balls with 3 fours and 1 six. Dannie Cleaver hammered a 99 from 71 balls for Central Districts that never allowed a whiff for the Otago team in this encounter.

Pitch and Conditions

It is expected that Auckland will get a dark and cloudy day on this match day. There is every possibility of rain coming down during the game. There is a tinge of grass available on the track for this match. This is expected to help the quicker bowlers, especially in the first 10 or 15 overs. But the batsmen will also enjoy batting here as the ball will come onto the bat nicely and it will be easier to play their shots on the track. The Auckland venue also has shorter boundaries and most bowlers will struggle on it while restricting the batters after the ball has lost its shine. It is expected that the team batting first will look to post an imposing total in the excess of 300 runs on the board in this match.

AA vs OV Betting Tips

Auckland Aces have a much better batting line-up and there are several batters on the side that are in good form. After the competition victory last year, most of the team members will be high on confidence. They are also going into this match with a mix of spin and pace bowlers that are high-quality. Otago also has some quality players on the side, but they are struggling to post bigger totals on the board. In reality, they have a lot of depth and balance in their team with some good all-rounders on the side. But all-in-all Auckland is looking more like a team that will go through and wins the match.
