Otago Volts Team News & Playing 11
OV Team News
The Volts have been playing some very good cricket over recent weeks and have been picking up wins along the way. As a result, it was no surprise to see Hamish Rutherford lead an unchanged XI against the Kings on Saturday. We expect to see the same players in action at the University of Otago Oval.
OV Key Players
- Jake Gibson- the 25 year old right-handed opener was in exceptional form on Saturday. He will be relishing facing the same group of bowlers in this match.
- Hamish Rutherford- the left-handed skipper has plenty of experience across all formats. He has scored over 4100 runs in T20 cricket and is a very important part of the team.
- Michael Rae- the 27 year old right arm medium fast bowler took two wickets of the top four of Canterbury Kings in the reverse fixture.
OV Team Form
The Volts are unbeaten from their last seven matches and have won their last four successive games.

There is quality for the Volts and for the Kings in both the batting and bowling departments. The Volts came out on top in the last game but we think the Kings’ team is more suited to the conditions in Otago.
🏆 Otago Volts vs Canterbury Kings Prediction
This could well be a rehearsal for the final and if so will mean that the sides play each other three times in the space of seven days. The Volts won Saturday’s game but were very reliant on the runs from Jake Gibson. In this match, we are expecting the Kings to bat better and are backing them to get the victory.
