Our Pick Wellington are favorites to win
Otago will take on Wellington in the 15th match of the Super Smash 2020-21. The match will be played at the University Oval and is set to begin at 3:10 Pm local time.
With 2 wins and 2 losses, Otago have had a mixed tournament. Their last match was against the Central Stags where they suffered a humiliating loss by 53 runs.
Chasing a target of 224, Otago could only manage 170 in their 20 overs.
It’s a performance they’d like to forget.
The problem for Otago has been their batting that looks good on paper but fail to deliver when it matters the most.
Players like Hamish Rutherford, Neil Broom, Llew Johnson, Nick Kelly, Mitch Renwick have been very inconsistent. All of them are class players but they need to deliver a collective performance to win against strong opposition.
The bowlers were taken to cleaners in the last match. Mitchell McClenaghan did bowl well but Jacob Duffy, Anaru Kitchen, Matthew Bacon, Michael Rippon and Michael Ray all were pretty expensive.
All of these bowlers have performed well in the tournament and we expect them to fair better in the next match. However, Wellington is in top form thus it won’t be that easy.
Wellington is getting better with each passing game. They defeated Northern Knights in their last game by a massive margin of 80 runs.
The batting has been top class with Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Tom Blundell in top form. Jimmy Neesham and Michael Bracewell haven’t got much opportunity but can be very dangerous with the bat.
In the bowling department, all the bowlers have been terrific. Hemish Bennett, Jimmy Neesham, Peter Younghusband, Michael Bracewell, Rachin Ravindra forms a pretty solid bowling line up.
Overall, Wellington looks in ominous form and getting past them won’t be easy for any opposition.

Both captains would like to win the toss and bat first
It’s a brilliant wicket to bat on. We expect the match to be a high scoring encounter.
It’s going to be a chilly day with temperatures hovering around 10 degrees. However, the sky will be clear with bright sunshine.

Otago Volts are 2.20 to win on Bet365 while Wellington Firebirds can be backed at 1.66 on the same platform. On Betway, you’ll get odds of 2.20 and 1.61 on Otago Volts and Wellington Firebirds respectively.
Wellington Firebirds looks a very strong team and most of their players are in top form. Otago on the other hand too have a good team but their batting has been far too inconsistent. We see Wellington as big favourites for this match
Wicket Keeper
Devon Conway at 10 is a very good option from this section. He’s been top class since his return to Wellington Firebirds and we back him to play another good knock in the next match
Batsmen
Hamish Rutherford at 10, Nick Kelly at 9.0, Troy Johnson And Finn Allen at 8.5 forms a strong batting order. Finn Allen has been top form and is the second highest run getter of the tournament. Nick Kelly played a brilliant knock of 5 in the last match. Troy Johnson and Hamish Rutherford have been good too.
All rounder
Jimmy Neeshan at 10 and Racin Ravindra at 9.0 are two quality all rounders we’ll have in our team. Jimmy has been very good with the ball I the last couple of matches while Rachin Ravindra has delivered a couple of match winning performances.
Bowlers
Hemish Bennett at 9.0, Jacob Duffy at 8.5, Mitchell McClenaghan at 8.5 and Peter Younghusband at 8.5 will complete our team. Bennett and McClenaghan are the two lead pacers for there respective teams while Jacob Duffy and Peter Younghusband have been among the wickets too.
