Otago Volts are favorites to win
Central Stags will be up against the Otago Volts in the 19th match of the Super Smash 2023-2024. The match will be played at McLean Park, Napier and will start at 10:00 AM IST on January 10.
Stags have struggled in the tournament. They have played six games, managing just one win and losing three games. Two matches were washed out due to rain. They lost to Wellington Firebirds by 4 wickets in the last game after they could only score 158/7 in 20 overs and later failed to defend the target.
Meanwhile, Otago have also been ordinary in the tournament, winning two and losing three in the five completed games. However, they have shown good form in recent few games, winning two of the last three games. Their loss against Canterbury was a close game and could have gone either way.
TV channels: Star Sports will broadcast Central Stags vs Otago Volts match in India. In UK, BT Sports will telecast the matches while Spark Sport have the rights for broadcast in New Zealand. Fans in South Africa will have to turn to Super Sport to watch the matches.
Live Streaming: You can live-stream the match on Hotstar and Website.
Captains are more inclined towards batting first as chasing has been slightly easier in the tournament. Captain winning the toss should bowl first.
The conditions will be cloudy so pacers will get help from the surface. However, the pitch will be flat and once the ball is a few overs old, the movement will fade away, making it easy for batters to score runs.
It will be a cloudy day but rain is likely to stay away from the game. The temperature will range between 22 and 17 degrees.

Josh Clarkson is part of the Kiwi squad for the T20I series vs Pakistan, however, he is only in the team for the 3rd game so he should play for Stags. We are expecting Stags to go with an unchanged playing XI in next game. An official squad update is pending though.
Stags have been below par so far with the bat which has resulted in three defeats for the team.
Bayley Wiggins, Will Young, Dane Cleaver (wk), Tom Bruce (c), Josh Clarkson, Doug Bracewell, William Clark, Bevan Small, Ajaz Patel, Blair Tickner, Jayden Lennox
Glenn Phillips has been released from the squad as he is part of the New Zealand squad for the T20I series vs Pakistan. Luke Georgeson has replaced him in the team.
Otago have been inconsistent with the bat so far, however, a win in the last game will be a big confidence booster.
Hamish Rutherford, Jake Gibson, Dean Foxcroft (c), Luke Georgeson, Max Chu (wk), Dale Phillips, Llew Johnson, Ben Lockrose, Andrew Hazeldine, Travis Muller, Jacob Duffy
Central Stags have been the dominant of the two sides in Super Smash, winning 17 out of the 30 games. Otago have managed to win 13 matches. Stags have also won three out of the last five games. Otago will have a chance to better their stats in next game.

Otago are getting the favourites tag on betting platforms. The team has blown hot and cold but they have been better than Stags, who have looked completely out of touch, losing three and winning just one game.
We suggest backing Otago to win. Stags have been poor as none of their players are in good form. Otago too have been ordinary but their bowlers have done well so there is every chance that Stags batting will struggle once again.
Will Young scored 50 in the last game and will look to score runs in next game as well. Dane Cleaver has been consistent for the team while Tom Bruce is also a good batter. All three will be key for Stags in next game.
Hamish Rutherford, Dean Foxcroft and Jake Gibson will be the key batters for Otago. Foxcroft has scored two fifties in the tournament while Rutherford and Gibson also have notch up 50+ score once. The three have been the best batters so far.
The bowling for Stags will depend on Bevan Small, Jayden Lennox and Blair Tickner, who have been the best bowlers for Stags, taking nine, seven and four wickets.
Jacob Duffy, Jake Gibson and Travis Muller are best bowlers for Otago, with Muller and Gibson taking seven wickets in the tournament. Duffy had a great last game and picked four wickets.
Otago will back themselves to win against Central Stags. The likes of Dean Foxcroft has done well while Hamish Rutherford, Jake Gibson and Tom Bruce are also quality players in the team and can be match winners on their day. Their bowling also looks better, with Muller, Gibson, Duffy and Andrew Hazledine doing well. Back Otago to win against Stags.
