AA vs OV T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Super Smash 2023
Auckland Aces go head to head with Otago Volts in Match 10 of the 2022-23 Super Smash on Monday afternoon at Kennards Hire Community Oval. The hosts have won one and lost one so far in this year’s tournament. Otago Volts have lost two games but got their first win of the competition against Auckland Aces on Thursday. The game gets underway at 13:40 local time in Auckland.
Auckland Aces have a much stronger group of players than Otago Volts but, as we saw in the previous match, that counts for nothing if the performance is not right. We expect to see a much better showing in this game.
Otago Volts will come into this game with a change of mindset after getting the win over Auckland Aces in Match 6. However, they will need to outdo that performance if they are to make it two wins in a row.

Auckland Aces Team News & Playing 11
AA Team News
After their disappointing performance in Queenstown, the management of Auckland Aces will be looking for an immediate reaction in this game. Any more poor results and we expect changes to the team but we do not anticipate any players being dropped ahead of this match.
AA Key Players
- Max O’Dowd- the Auckland-born batter has only made five runs from his first two Super Smash innings but he is a destructive player and a quick-fire innings from him could be enough to win this game.
- Sean Solia- the 30 year old all-rounder has contributed with bat, ball and in the field so far in the tournament. He could well add to his three wickets in the tournament on this bowler friendly surface.
- Lockie Ferguson- the right arm fast bowler caused problems for Otago Volts’ batters and dismissed the skipper Hamish Rutherford in the reverse fixture.
AA Team Form
The Aces have been struggling to find form in this format and come into this game with only one win from their last five games.

Otago Volts Team News & Playing 11
OV Team News
After their shock win over Auckland Aces in Match 6, we do not expect to see any changes to the Otago Volts XI ahead of this game. Some of their bowlers will need to be more economical but should enjoy bowling on this pitch in Auckland.
OV Key Players
- Dean Foxcroft- the 24 year old South African all-rounder has had a very impressive start to the campaign. In this match, he will be looking to add to his record of 129 runs and eight wickets from three games.
- Hamish Rutherford- the skipper began the tournament with successive single figure scores but looked in good form with 26 runs from 14 balls on Thursday.
- Michael Rae- the right-arm medium fast bowler has already taken two three-wicket hauls in the 2022-23 Super Smash. He dismissed Max O’Dowd, Mark Chapman and Lockie Ferguson in the last match.
OV Team Form
The win in the last match means that Otago Volts have equalled their tally of wins from the 2021-22 Super Smash season. They have not won back to back games since the start of the 2020-21 season.
Otago Volts Predicted Playing 11
Hamish Rutherford (c), Thorn Parkes (wk), Dean Foxcroft, Josh Finnie, Michael Rippon, Llew Johnson, Jake Gibson, Andrew Hazeldine, Michael Rae, Ben Lockrose, Matthew Bacon

Who will win Auckland Aces vs Otago Volts T20 Match?
It was an incredible all-round performance from Dean Foxcroft which was behind the win for Otago Volts. However, if he can’t replicate that, then Auckland Aces should be well placed to win.
