THE PREDICTION
Otago Volts had the better of their most recent draw against Central Stags, taking 12 wickets on an excellent batting surface and racking up 642/6 with the bat after bowling the Stags out in their first innings for 394. Openers Hamish Rutherford and Mitch Renwick hit centuries, whilst Nick Kelly scored a magnificent 234 not out from just 245 balls. Therefore, the Volts have plenty of positives to take into this clash with Northern Districts Men, who are playing their first match of this season’s Plunket Shield. With a number of key players at the T20 World Cup and wicketkeeper BJ Watling having retired from all cricket earlier this year, Northern Districts looks a substantially weakened side going into this competition and Otago Volts may be set to capitalise. Whilst the inclement weather could play a part on the final day of this encounter, Otago Volts have to be favoured for victory if one team is to come out on top.
