Otago Volts Team News & Playing 11
Their top-order batting depends mainly on Rob Nicol, Neil Broom and Shawn Hicks while middle-order seems reliant largely on Anaru Kitchen. Skipper Nicol is amongst the best batsmen in this year's Super Smash and he is coming off a crucial 43 in the reverse fixture. Neil Wagner took two wickets in that game and he will be spearheading the pace attack. Anaru Kitchen was the pick of the bowlers with 3 wickets for just 24 runs and the left-arm spinner could trouble the Districts once again.
Otago Volts Predicted Playing 11
-
Rob Nicol (c), Neil Broom, Derek de Boorder (wk), Neil Wagner, Anaru Kitchen, Michael Rippon, Shawn Hicks, Josh Finnie, Michael Rae, Matthew Bacon, Llew Johnson
Jesse Ryder and Will Young have been their most consistent performers with the bat. Both were dismissed for single-digit scores last time and the Districts will expect them to bounce back and score the big runs. With the ball, the team will look to seamers Blair Tickner and Seth Rance to deliver the goods. Tickner is one of the season's leading wicket-takers with 12 wickets in six matches while Rance notched up a three-wicket haul in the earlier encounter against the Volts.

They are placed second-to-bottom on the points table with two wins and four losses in seven league matches. Otago Volts are at the bottom of the pool having secured just the one win in eight matches.

Otago Volts vs Central Districts Prediction
Otago Volts have been knocked out of the tournament and so they will be playing this match with a nothing-to-lose attitude. Central Districts on the other hand have everything to play for as a defeat here could dash their hopes of making it through to the preliminary final. So obviously there is going to be pressure on them. Moreover, they will be wary of the fact that they have now lost three out of the last five matches against the Volts, including the previous two. The Volts got the better of the Districts last time and we predict the underdogs to emerge victorious this time as well.
Final Verdict: Back Central Districts to beat Otago Volts at 1.3 on betfair, 1.61 on bet365, 1.64 on Unibet and 1.66 on Betway.
