THE LOWDOWN

OTAGO VOLTS

  • Whilst their place in the next round is assured, a win here would see Otago Volts finish top of the league with a total of six wins from ten.
  • Having yet to taste defeat in the competition so far this year and having won each of their last four, confidence within the Volts camp will be high heading into this matchup.

CANTERBURY KINGS

  • Canterbury Kings could still finish top of the group with victory against Otago, provided their net-run-rate is higher than that of their opponents.
  • Although the Kings have won four of their last five Super Smash fixtures, they do come into this one on the back of a four-wicket defeat against the same opponent on Saturday.

THE PREDICTION

The last time these two sides faced off just two days ago, it was a very close encounter with Otago Volts just doing enough to squeeze home. A similarly tight affair is expected on this occasion. Although Canterbury Kings are of a similar level to that of their opponents ability wise, Otago Volts have shown the more composure in clutch situations, which is perhaps testament to why they are currently on such an impressive unbeaten run. But whilst the Volts are worth backing to win, this isn’t a banker by any means and it would be no surprise if Canterbury were to gain revenge.
