Otago Volts Team News & Playing 11
OV Team News
This will be the last game for Hamish Rutherford who will retire from cricket after Super Smash 2024. The squad remains the same for the final game so there should not be any changes in the playing XI.
OV Key Players
- Dean Foxcroft - Foxcroft played a good hand of 42 in the last game. The skipper has been the most consistent batter for his side but has lacked support. He would be eyeing one big innings in the final game.
- Hamish Rutherford - Hamish Rutherford scored 26 in the last game. This will be his final game and he would be desperate to sign off with a memorable knock.
- Jacob Dubby - Jacob Duffy picked two wickets in the last game. He has been on and off this season for Otago, taking nine wickets in six matches. He can be backed to come good in the final game.
OV Team Form
Otago have been let down by the batters and barring Dean Foxcroft, others have lacked consistency.
Otago Volts Predicted Playing 11
Hamish Rutherford, Luke Georgeson, Dean Foxcroft (c), Max Chu (wk), Thorn Parkes, Jamal Todd, Jake Gibson, Ben Lockrose, Andrew Hazeldine, Travis Muller, Jacob Duffy
Northern Brave Team News & Playing 11
ND Team News
Northern Brave are also unchanged for their final game in Super Smash 2024. The team has been ordinary in the tournament but would like to end on a winning note.
ND Key Players
- Jeet Raval - Jeet Raval has been the most consistent batter this season for the Brave but he has scored just 188 runs in nine matches, including two fifties. Lack of runs by top order batters has been the main reasons for the shambolic show.
- Katene Clarke - Katena Clarke has found some form in recent few games. He has scored a couple of 30s and we feel that a big one is due. Clarke will look to end the tournament on a positive note.
- Tim Pringle - Tim Pringle has been the best bowler for the Brave this season. He has taken 10 wickets in nine matches for the team. He picked up two wickets for 23 runs in the last game.
ND Team Form
Brave too have been let down by the batters as none of the batsmen showed any form in the tournament.
Northern Brave Predicted Playing 11
Henry Cooper, Katene Clarke, Jeet Raval (c), Flynn Sumpter, Brett Hampton, Peter Bocock (wk), Scott Kuggeleijn, Tim Pringle, Kristian Clarke, Frederick Walker, Matthew Fisher
