Auckland Aces Team News & Playing 11
Auckland have plenty of firepower in their batting department with the opening combo of Martin Guptill and Colin Munro being the key. Guptill is looking in fine T20 form and he has already smashed a couple of unbeaten half-centuries in this Super Smash season which includes the 62* in the reverse fixture against Otago Volts. Glenn Phillips, who weighed in with a handy contribution of 43 not-out in that game, is another key figure at the top of the order. Auckland's bowling relies mainly on Mitchell McClenaghan, Donovan Grobbelaar and Matthew Quinn. McClenaghan has been the most impressive of the lot so far. The fast bowler took a three-wicket haul recently against the Knights and so did Grobbelaar. Quinn has been the most economical of the three and the team will want him to keep things tight against the Volts.

Otago Volts Team News & Playing 11
Otago's batting strength resides mainly in Hamish Rutherford, Anaru Kitchen and Ben Raine. Kitchen has scored the most runs for the team this season - 127 runs in five matches - and he will be expected to deliver a strong performance in this match against Auckland. Rutherford hit a half-century against Canterbury Kings and he will look to take Otago off to a flying start. With the ball, it will be up to Jacob Duffy, Nathan G Smith and Ben Raine to take wickets and slow down the opposition's scoring rate. Duffy is amongst the tournament's top five bowlers with eight wickets in five matches and he is more likely to trouble Auckland in this match. Smith snared up a three-wicket haul against the Central Stags recently and he too is expected to find a fair amount of assistance from the pitch at the Eden Park.

🏆 Auckland Aces vs Otago Volts Prediction
Both the teams are coming off defeats in their last two completed matches. Otago Volts will be more desperate for a win here as they have two losses and as many washouts from their previous four games. Auckland Aces will certainly enjoy the benefit of playing at home but they have not been performing too well of late at this ground. They have lost four of their last five matches here which is something that should inject plenty of hope into their opponents. However, Auckland do have a good head-to-head record and they have beaten Otago three times in their last four completed meetings. The hosts also have more quality and depth in their batting which is why we feel they are better placed to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back Auckland Aces to beat Otago Volts.
