ND vs OV T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Super Smash 2023
Match 13 of the 2022-23 Super Smash sees Northern Brave take on Otago Volts on Friday afternoon at Seddon Park, Hamilton. Northern Brave are in second place on eight points with Otago Volts looking for their second win of the season and trailing by two points in fourth place. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at 15:00 local time.
Northern Brave will be wary of some of the performers in the Otago Volts side but have enough strongly performing players of their own to win this game.
With the leading performer in the tournament, it surely can’t be long before Otago Volts turn their form around. However, Northern Brave will be a very tough opposition to play in this match.

Northern Brave Team News & Playing 11
ND Team News
There were three changes for Northern Brave from their defeat to Central Stags to the win over Wellington Firebirds. Out went Mitchell Santner, Joe Carter and Scott Kuggeleijn with Frederick Walker, Peter David Bocock and Zak Gibson coming into the side.
ND Key Players
- Katene Clarke - The 23 year old opener has had a good start to this year’s competition. He will be full of self-belief after making successive scores in the 40s ahead of this match.
- Henry Cooper - The middle-order batter delivered an unexpected 52 not out Wednesday. It was his highest T20 score and another quickfire innings in this match could swing the game in Northern Brave’s favour.
- Kristian Clarke - The 21 year old right-arm medium pacer has impressed with five wickets from his last three appearances in the Super Smash. He should be able to do more damage on this pitch.
ND Team Form
Northern Brave have won two of their last three matches and produced an excellent display in the win over Wellington.
