Otago Volts Team News & Playing 11
Hamish Rutherford, James Neesham and Rob Nicol will be their biggest hopes with the bat. The three did not have a good outing against Canterbury Kings and the team will need them to fire this time around. Jacob Duffy claimed a five-wicket haul in that match and it will be up to this fast bowler to provide the Volts with early breakthroughs. He will however need good support from Neesham from the other end.

Northern Knights vs Otago Betting Odds
Northern Knights are currently leading the league standings with two wins and a loss in three matches. After going down to Wellington in their opening game, they have bounced back with two consecutive wins. Otago Volts on the contrary are languishing at the bottom after playing two matches. While they ended up losing the first, their second game had to be abandoned due to rain. Both teams are priced at 1.16 on Betfair to win this match.
Northern Knights vs Otago Prediction
Otago Volts will feel more pressure here after facing defeat in their first game and a washout in the second. However, they will go into this game with an upper hand as they have beaten Northern Knights in their previous five head-to-head encounters. So although the Knights will be playing this match on their home ground, we feel the Volts have a better chance of emerging victorious.
Final Verdict: Back Otago Volts to beat Northern Knights at 1.16 on 1xbet.
