Northern Knights are favourites to win
Match 6 of the 2021-22 Super Smash sees Otago Volts welcome Northern Brave to the University of Otago Oval Christchurch on Sunday afternoon. Both sides are yet to get their first win of the season in the competition. Otago Volts lost to Central Stags before a no result against Northern Brave in Hamilton. Read on as we preview this game. The match begins at 13:40 local time.
Otago Volts are still searching for their first victory but should be able to run Northern Brave very close in this game. The question against the Volts is whether or not they can produce enough runs.
Northern Brave have only contested 13 overs in the tournament so far but should have plenty of fresh legged players to call upon. They will fancy their chances of getting a win in this match.

Otago Volts chose to bat first in their last fixture at this venue. We expect both skippers to elect to bat if they win the toss.
The pitch suits big hitting batters and if all play to their potential then we should see some team totals around the 180 mark.
Partly cloudy with the temperature not going above 12 degrees in Dunedin.

The Volts made one change to their team ahead of the rain affected game last time out. Llew Johnson came into the side with Nick Kelly dropping out. Johnson did not get an opportunity with the bat and it would be incredibly harsh to drop him. We expect to see the same XI for the Volts.
After ending their losing run with the no-result in the last game, Otago Volts will hope their poor form is over.
Hamish Rutherford (c), Llew Johnson, Neil Broom, Anaru Kitchen, Michael Rippon, Dale Phillips, Matthew Bacon, Max Chu (wk), Jacob Duffy, Jake Gibson, Josh Finnie
The Brave have a fine squad of players all of who will be keen to get a full game under their belt in Dunedin. There are no new injuries in the camp and as a result we will be very surprised if they make any changes to the XI from the previous abandoned game.
Northern Brave’s winning run in Super Smash 2021 was paused by the poor weather but the team will expect to return to winning ways immediately.
Katene Clarke, Jeet Raval (c), Joe Carter, Henry Cooper, Colin de Grandhomme, PD Bocock (wk), Scott Kuggeleijn, Anurag Verma, Joe Walker, Zak Gibson, Matthew Fisher
The Volts have the overall lead and have won more of the recent meetings against Northern Brave.

Northern Brave are favourites to get the win in this match.
Hamish Rutherford is the only batter on either side to have made a half-century in the tournament so far.
Our picks with the bat for Otago Volts are Hamish Rutherford, Josh Finnie and Neil Broom. Rutherford hit 82 of the team total of 184-4 in their opener.
Jeet Raval, Joe Carter and Katene Clarke are our recommendations with the bat for Northern Brave. Raval hit 2 sixes and 4 fours in his 18 ball stay earlier in the month.
We are backing Matthew Rippon, Matthew Bacon and Jacob Duffy with the ball for Otago Volts. Rippon impressed on this pitch in the last game.
Scott Kuggeleijn, Anurag Verma and Colin de Grandhomme are our tips with the ball for Northern Brave. Kuggeleijn has had a slow start to the domestic season but he relishes this format.
After a game which barely got beyond the quarter mark earlier in the month, both teams will be chomping at the bit to put on a show and get the result. In terms of form, there is only one winner and we are backing Northern Brave to get the victory.
