Once again Otago Volts created opportunities to win their last match but were unable to get over the line. Their openers put on 58 for the first wicket and at one stage had Auckland Aces 26-6. With a full squad available, we do not expect to see any changes to the XI for this game.
OV Key Players
- Hamish Rutherford- the captain and opener is Otago Volts leading run scorer in the tournament and has hit 223 in total.
- Neil Broom- the opening batter has had a poor competition but did make 41 the last time the Volts took on the Kings earlier this month.
- Anaru Kitchen- the slow left-arm bowler produced an inspired display against Auckland Aces and took 3 wickets in his first over of the game.

CTB Team News
The Kings are already guaranteed a place in the Super Smash 2022 Finals but will be disappointed to have lost to Northern Brave and ended their winning run. They have some of the tournament’s highest run scorers and top wicket takers and we anticipate they will stick with the same XI from their last game.
CTB Key Players
- Chad Bowes- the opener is in 4th place of the highest run scorers in this season’s Super Smash. He has struck 3 half-centuries.
- Tom Latham- the talented New Zealander opener hit 34 from 22 balls in the defeat to Northern Brave on Friday.
- Ed Nuttall- only Auckland Aces’ Lockie Ferguson has taken more wickets in the 2021-22 Super Smash than Nuttall.
