OTG vs AKL Betting Tips
- Anaru Kitchen hit 54 from 34 balls in Tuesday’s defeat against Wellington Firebirds. He is our pick for Otago Volts’ highest run scorer against Auckland Aces. With the ball, Michael Rippon took 2-24 on Tuesday and has 8 wickets in the tournament. He is well worth backing as Otago Volts’ top wicket taker in this match.
- Experienced opener Martin Guptill struck 79 not-out from 58 balls on Monday and is our tip for Auckland Aces’ highest run scorer against Otago Volts. Lockie Ferguson took 2-24 against Central Stags and is a strong choice for Auckland Aces top wicket taker in this game.
- With an average of 44.66 in the tournament, Martin Guptill looks back to his best. He is our prediction for the Player of The Match Award.

Otago Volts Team News & Playing 11
OTG Team News
Captain Hamish Rutherford is delivering the goods with the bat but is struggling to get much consistent support from the rest of the side. The problem for Otago Volts is they do not have the deepest or most experienced squad and they do not have the luxury of bringing in new quality players. It would be no surprise to see an unchanged XI.
OTG Key Players
- Anaru Kitchen - The batting all-rounder has been in excellent bowling form throughout the tournament but he top scored in the defeat against Wellington Firebirds.
- Hamish Rutherford - The captain has hit 171 runs in this season’s tournament and sits in third place on the leading run scorers list.
- Michael Rippon - The Dutch international put in a true all-around performance against Wellington, taking 2 wickets and hitting 28 not out from 25 balls.
OTG Team Form
The Volts have lost three games in a row and are propping up the league table at this early stage in Super Smash 2021
Otago Volts Predicted Playing 11
Hamish Rutherford (c), Josh Tasman-Jones, Neil Broom, Nick Kelly, Llew Johnson, Anaru Kitchen, Michael Rippon, Max Chu (wk), Angus McKenzie, Jacob Duffy, Matthew Bacon
Auckland Aces Team News & Playing 11
AUK Team News
The Aces had a slow start to the competition with games postponed due to travel restrictions in the area. As they are now up and running, we expect them to keep faith with the team who have delivered back to back victories. They reported no injuries after the victory over Central Stags.
AUK Key Players
- Martin Guptill - The clean hitting New Zealand opener very rarely goes more than a couple of games without a big score. He has hit 134 runs in the tournament.
- Mark Chapman - The classy New Zealand middle order batter has been chipping in with runs and wickets in this year’s Super Smash.
- Lockie Ferguson - The pace bowler was the pick of the attack against Central Stags and dismissed opener Bayley Wiggins and Dane Cleaver in the game.
AUK Team Form
The Aces have now picked up successive wins and are well set to kick on in the competition.

George Worker, Martin Guptill, Mark Chapman, Cole Briggs, Robert O’Donnell (c), Ben Horne (wk), Sean Solia, Lockie Ferguson, Louis Delport, Adithya Ashok, Ben Lister

🏆 Otago Volts vs Auckland Aces Prediction
With Otago Volts on a losing streak and Auckland Aces getting better with every game, it would be a huge surprise if the Volts get anything from this game. However, if captain Hamish Rutherford delivers at the top of the order then they will have a chance. Overall, we are backing Auckland Aces to win the match.
