Otago Volts Team News & Playing 11
Their batting is going to depend mainly on their top three - Rob Nicol, Hamish Rutherford and Shawn Hicks. Skipper Nicol has so far scored the most runs for the Volts this season and the team will want him to get the big runs in this match. Neil Wagner, Jacob Duffy and Warren Barnes will be the ones to watch out for with the ball. Duffy has been the most impressive of the lot and he could trouble the Knights in this game.

Northern Knights Team News & Playing 11
Top-order batting will rely heavily on Tim Seifert who is amongst the season's leading run-getters while Daryl Mitchell is going to be their best man in the middle order. There will also be high expectations from Anton Devcich and Brett Hampton who both scored in 40s in the reverse fixture. Devcich and Mitchell took seven wickets between them in that game and the Knights will want them to replicate that performance here.

Otago Volts vs Northern Knights Prediction
Northern Knights inflicted a crushing defeat on Otago Volts when the two sides went head-to-head earlier in the season. Batting first, the Knights smashed the Volts all around the park to post a mammoth 212 on the board before their bowlers skittled them out for just 106 in 15 overs. That massive 106-run victory will give the Knights a lot of confidence going into this rematch. Otago Volts have had a rather disappointing season so far and with the way they are playing, we don't expect them to beat Northern Knights in this match.
Final Verdict: Back Northern Knights to beat Otago Volts.
