Otago vs Northern Districts Prediction

Team News 

There are no big changes expected in Northern Districts’ squad for this match against Otago, and none of the players have been reported to be injured.

Key Players

There have been mixed performances by players in the two matches the team has played. Corey Anderson, Dean Brownlie, and Joe Carter are expected to score runs for the team. They've made decent runs in their previous two matches and would want to play in a good form in the many matches ahead in the season. The bowling side didn’t get a chance to showcase their talent in the last match against the Central Districts, but Ben Laughlin and Daryl Mitchell can be counted upon to take some important wickets for Northern Districts. 

Recent Form

The team has not lost in the two matches played so far, but is still on the third position because of an abandoned match against Central Districts. Northern Districts have played decently and have the capability to perform better and beat Otago.

Otago vs Northern Districts Head To Head

This is the first time in this season that Northern Districts and Otago will be playing against each other. Although, they have played against each other twice in the last season, where Otago defeated Northern Districts by significant margins. Both teams have the potential to win but Otago will be playing to continue the performance of the last season, where they went on to reach the final match, and extend their winning streak against Northern Districts.

Otago vs Northern Districts Prediction

With just a few games played in this season, it is very early to pick a favourite out of all the teams, but based on the performances in the one or two matches the teams have played, Otago seems to have an edge over Northern Districts and also have a better batting side. They need to work a little on their bowling, which will be important because of the ground conditions.

Otago have a better batting side than Northern Districts and have defeated them in the past and are most likely to continue the streak. We predict Otago to win this match against Northern Districts.
