Otago Volts Team News & Playing 11
OV Team News
Thorn Parkes came into the team as an opener and took the wicket-keeping gloves in Wednesday’s defeat against Northern Brave. This gave Hamish Rutherford the opportunity to focus on his captaincy and batting. We expect the Volts to be unchanged in this match.
OV Key Players
- Hamish Rutherford - The captain has begun this campaign with two single-figure scores and will be keen to contribute in this match. He hit 76 not-out in a one-day game earlier this month.
- Michael Rippon - The New Zealand international all-rounder looked comfortable batting on this pitch on Wednesday hitting 40 runs from 44 balls.
- Ben Lockrose - The slow left-arm bowler contributed with bat and ball in the last game. He opened the bowling and picked up the wicket of Katene Clarke.
OV Team Form
Otago Volts are yet to get their first win of this campaign and picked up only one victory across the entirety of the 2021-22 season.

Auckland Aces Team News & Playing 11
AA Team News
It was an excellent team display for Auckland Aces to get their season underway on Boxing Day. With no new injuries or player unavailability reported from the team management, we expect to see Auckland Aces line-up with the same XI in this game.
AA Key Players
- Mark Chapman - The New Zealand international is a strong player across all formats and has a top score of 101 in T20 cricket. Although he is in the team for his batting, he picked up two wickets in the first game.
- Benjamin Lister - The left-arm medium pacer got full value for his accurate bowling on Monday. He dismissed Henry Shipley, Angus McKenzie and Todd Astle.
- Lockie Ferguson - The pace bowler did not pick up any wickets in the opening match but still troubled the Canterbury Magicians batters. He will be very hard to face again in this match.
AA Team Form
Auckland Aces lost three successive matches at the end of the 2021-22 Super Smash but got off to a winning start in Super Smash 2022-23.
Auckland Aces Predicted Playing 11
