Our Prediction

Otago Volts are favourites to win

Will Otago Volts avenge their defeat from previous match?

Otago Volts and Canterbury Kings will face each other for the second time in the ongoing McDonald's Super Smash 2016-17. This 19th fixture of the season is scheduled to be played on December 26 at the Molyneux Park, Alexandra. Live action starts at 4 PM local time.

Toss

The last twenty20 domestic match at the Molyneux Park was played three years ago in 2003 between Otago Volts and Auckland Aces. Otago won the toss, elected to bowl first and then went on to record a comfortable win in that match. So we suggest betting on the Volts if they bat second here.

Otago Volts Team News & Playing 11

Team News

There are no injuries in the Otago Volts camp. All the players seem to be match-ready and fully prepared to take on the Canterbury Kings on Monday.

Key Players

Batting is going to depend largely on Neil Broom and skipper Hamish Rutherford who have scored consistently for the Otago Volts so far. Broom has a fifty in his last innings at this ground and we predict him to top-score against Canterbury. James Neesham is their leading wicket-taker this year. He bagged a couple in the reverse fixture and is likely to trouble Canterbury again.

Recent Form

Otago Volts faced their third loss of the season when they went down to Canterbury Kings by seven runs in the first of their double-headers. With three wins and as many defeats from six games, they are currently placed third on the points table.

Otago Predicted XI

  • Hamish Rutherford (c), Anaru Kitchen, Neil Broom, Brad Wilson, Michael Bracewell, James Neesham, Josh Finnie, Derek de Boorder (wk), Sam Wells, Neil Wagner and Christi Viljoen.

Canterbury Kings Team News & Playing 11

Team News

None of their players are reported to be missing or suffering from injury and so Canterbury Kings are likely to retain the same eleven that played Otago in their last match.

Key Players

Having hit three fifties already from five games, Henry Nicholls is currently the season's highest run-getter at a staggering average of 122. He made 52 in the reverse fixture and is expected to take his good form into this game as well. Fast bowler Ben Hilfenhaus was really impressive with his five-wicket haul in the first game against Otago and we predict him to deliver a similar performance for Canterbury come Monday.

Recent Form

Canterbury Kings too have the same number of points as Otago and are positioned one spot below them in the standings. They seem to be heading in the right direction with three wins in their last four matches, the most recent one coming against Otago.

Canterbury Predicted XI

  • Cam Fletcher (wk), Tom Latham, Peter Fulton, Chad Bowes, Henry Nicholls, Andrew Ellis (c), Todd Astle, Matt Henry, Ed Nuttall, Ben Hilfenhaus and Tim Johnston.

 

Otago vs Canterbury Head-to-Head

The two teams have so far played 17 matches with each other in the past. Of these, Otago Volts have won 7 while Canterbury Kings have won 9. Canterbury's recent seven-wicket win over Otago was their third from the last five meetings.

Otago vs Canterbury Prediction

Canterbury Kings are going strong at the moment having won three of their last four fixtures. Beating Otago Volts in their last match is going to be a huge morale booster for them. However, batting is one area where they will need to improve on as only two of their batsmen were able to produce good knocks in that match.

Otago are one of the more successful sides in the tournament and they will be seeking revenge in this match. One advantage they definitely have over Canterbury is that they have played more matches at the Molyneux Park and they also have an effortless win in their last match here against the Auckland Aces. Though they were outplayed by Canterbury last time, we feel Otago will come back strong and settle the score on Monday.

Final Verdict: We recommend betting on the Otago Volts to win this match.
