Auckland Aces are favorites to win
Otago Volts will be up against the Auckland Aces in the 10th game of the Super Smash 2023. The match will be played at Molenuex Park, Alexandra and will start at 8:30 AM IST on Januray 1st.
Otago Volts are yet to win a game in the tournament. The team has played three games, losing two while one game ended as no result due to rain. Otago suffered a 9 wicket loss to Wellington in the last game after being bowled out for a mere 47.
Meanwhile, Auckland have played three games, winning one while two games ended with no result. In the first game, Auckland posted a strong total of 185 before restricting Canterbury to 158 and winning the game by 27 runs. Both teams will need a win in their next game to boost their standings in the points table.

The teams are now more keen on putting runs on the board as chasing has somewhat got tougher. However, with rain around, captains might bowl first keeping DLS in mind.
The pitch will be good for batting but the conditions will be overcast which can help the pacers. It should be a good surface where batters will get value for shots but overhead conditions will make scoring a bit challenging.
There is 70 per cent chance of rain on the match day and there could be a few interruptions. Auckland’s last two matches were washed out and the same can be the case in next game.

Otago batters have failed to show any spine so far in the Super Smash 2023-24 tournament and getting bowled out for 47 will be a huge blow to the confidence. However, the team should retain the same team.
Otago has been very poor in both games as the batters have hardly made any contributions.
Hamish Rutherford, Jake Gibson, Dale Phillips, Dean Foxcroft (c), Max Chu (wk), Llew Johnson, Ollie White, Ben Lockrose, Andrew Hazeldine, Matthew Bacon, Travis Muller
Auckland would also like to retain the same team that played against Canterbury. Finn Allen and James Neesham are a part of the New Zealand T20I squad so they won't be available.
Auckland have started the tournament well with a collective show and the team would be keen to deliver another outstanding performance against Otago.
Martin Guptill, William ODonnell, Sean Solia, Robert ODonnell (c), Jock McKenzie, Cam Fletcher (wk), Ryan Harrison, Danru Ferns, Louis Delport, Nikith Perera, Ben Lister
Auckland clearly hold an edge over Otago in T20 cricket, having won 18 out of the 30 matches the teams have played.

Auckland Aces are being backed as favourites by the bookies. The team looks strong on paper and showed good form in the first game they played.
We suggest backing Auckland to win. Otago has not shown any form so far while Auckland come into the match after a big win over Canterbury. The team is more balanced than Otago thus we feel Auckland have more chances of a win.
Dane Foxcroft and Jake Gibson are two senior players in the team and the onus will be on them to take the team to a good score. Also, Hamish Rutherford can be destructive on his day.
Martin Guptill, Robert O'Donnell played well in the first game, scoring 47 and 54. Also Sean Solia will need to find his mojo back. All three will be key for Otago.
Travis Muller, Andrew Hazledine and Dean Foxcroft are good bowlers for Otago and even though they have not been at their best, we can expect a good fight back from them in the next game.
Auckland's bowling will rest on Danru Ferns, Sean Solia and Louis Deport. Ferns picked three wickets in the last game against Canterbury. Sean Solia and Delport can also be effective and will play a key role with the ball.
Auckland will start the match as favourites. The team looks stronger and comes into the match after a win over Canterbury. Despite missing a few key players, they have enough quality in the team. Otago, on the other hand, were bowled out for 47 in last game and are down on confidence. Back Auckland to win.
