THE PREDICTION
Wellington Firebirds will no doubt be gunning to retain the title they lost to Canterbury last time out and begin here against Otago Volts, who last won the Plunket Shield all the way back in 1988. When assessing the Otago squad, that drought looks like continuing this time round, with their squad lacking somewhat in star quality. Wellington meanwhile, boast run-machine Devon Conway within their ranks and the man fresh from establishing himself in the New Zealand test side is expected to play a key part against the Volts. When also adding Tom Blundell to the mix as well, Wellington Firebirds have all the ingredients to dominate this game with the bat and ultimately force victory if their bowlers can put the ball in the right areas over the course of the contest.
