Auckland Aces are favorites to win
Auckland Aces host Otago Volts on Saturday afternoon in the 2021-22 Super Smash at Eden Park Outer Oval, Auckland. The Aces have won three and lost three from their six games in the tournament so far. The Volts have lost six of their eight matches. Read on as we preview this fixture. This Super Smash group stage match begins at 14:40 local time.
Auckland Aces ended their winning run in their last match but they should have more than enough quality to win this game against Otago Volts.
Otago Volts have been the worst team in the 2021-22 Super Smash by quite a distance. They were thrashed by Wellington Firebirds in their last game and need to up their performance if they are to be competitive.

The surface at the Eden Park Outer Oval is likely to offer something for the pace and spin bowlers. Batting will not be easy but a team total of 150-160 should be possible.
Partly cloudy with a high of 24 degrees in Auckland throughout this game.

Although they were on the wrong end of the scoreline against Canterbury Kings last Friday, we expect Auckland Aces to put out the same XI in this game. They have been in strong form in other white ball cricket this week and have no injury worries to contend with.
Auckland Aces were beaten by Canterbury Kings in their last match to end a three-game winning streak
George Worker, Glenn Phillips, Sean Solia, Graeme Beghin, Robert O’Donnell (c), Ben Horne (wk), Cole Briggs, William Somerville, Lockie Ferguson, Adithya Ashok, Ben Lister.
Beckham Wheeler-Greenall made his Super Smash debut earlier in the tournament and it could well be that the Volts give more responsibility to their younger players in this and other games. We expect to see an unchanged XI for the Volts for this fixture.
The Volts have won only one match in the Super Smash this season and are cut adrift at the bottom of the table.
Hamish Rutherford (c), Josh Tasman-Jones, Neil Broom, Nick Kelly, Llew Johnson, Anaru Kitchen, Beckham Wheeler-Greenall, Max Chu (wk), Angus McKenzie, Jacob Duffy, Matthew Bacon
Auckland Aces have a strong recent and historical record over Otago Volts.

The bookies are backing Auckland Aces to beat Otago Volts.
Neither side has players near the top of the run-scorers list in the tournament but we expect to see Glenn Phillips and Hamish Rutherford in the runs in this match.
For Auckland Aces, Glenn Phillips, George Worker and Robert O’Donnell are our batting tips. Phillips top scored with a half-century in the last game.
For Otago Volts, Hamish Rutherford, Neil Broom and Nick Kelly are our batting recommendations. Rutherford is their most consistent batter across all formats.
Lockie Ferguson, Ben Lister and Adithya Ashok are our bowling tips for Auckland Aces. Ferguson had an impressive 2021 and few would doubt him to have a strong 2022
Matthew Bacon, Anaru Kitchen and Jacob Duffy are our picks with the ball for Otago Volts. Bacon has 6 wickets in the tournament so far.
Otago Volts will need to put in one of their best performances of the season if they are to pick up a win in this trip to Auckland. We are expecting a relatively close game but our prediction is for Auckland Aces to inflict another defeat on Otago Volts.
